I wish I had bought the pistol last year, when it was $3899. Now it's almost 7 grand lmao.

[@fuckyoutube2326]

I see some for that price but thought they were scams or something since I had seen 7k+ mainly…

[@georgeesquivel2517]

😲 damn that’s expensive but it’s a good gun though 👍😎

You can find them online right now for 3900

I’ve been working on these guns the last year. The time that goes into building them is CRAZY.

[@gypsymagic9699]

This gun maybe is John Wick. But The 1911 . 45 ACP did save Private Ryan.

[@danilom3166]

If Ryan had a Combat Master he wouldn't need to be saved :)

[@614XJ]

Wick used a Kimber in .45 and Wick DESTROYED with that gun.

[@420skymiles]

.45acp is better than 9mm, but 18 rounds of 9mm is better than 8 .45

[@g-tall665]

@@danilom3166 facts

[@NotoriousMastaG]

@@420skymiles oh here we go with the “45 vs 9mm” debate. I wouldn’t say either is “better” depends on application. Better follow up shots with 9mm due to less recoil. which could equate to a faster/safer resolved self defense scenario? 45 has better “knock down power” but …. I think shot placement is more important anyways. Apples and oranges

[@mouthbreather280]

Beautiful gun. New fav 19/2011 after the also beautiful Sig Emperor Scorpion.

Best 2011 I have owned, bought one for the range and one for the collection. This is the purchase you will never regret.

[@DDDarkz]

Also watch out not to let oil get under the front sight, one of mine came loose after few hundred rnds, apparently it's common issue with these fittings.

[@redpandafirefox9434]

It looks so high tech and sci fi. I'd like to get one for home defense.

[@resolute123]

So I got to fire one of these. The slide is like silk, however after firing it it felt that the slide action felt too delayed. I only fired a few rounds, but don't know how feel about the firearm over all. Trigger very crisp.

[@ryanpatton5937]

Sweet pistol. Wish I could get my hands on one but my ffl told me good luck

Bro u should review the rifle he uses in the end of John wick 3, also from Taran tactical, and is beautiful

[@er98ah]

Very nice pistol, hard to find

[@slickedge2340]

2011s are the best 3-gun handguns for a reason. 46 ounces with a less than 2 pound trigger pull. Perfect for shredding, plus with the Combat Master variation, you get Taran Butlers experience put into the firearm.

[@petemitchell6788]

Really? 🤡

[@Max-jh9ng]

is the mag release button able to be switched to the right side for left handed shooters?

[@omerfarhan2465]

Amen

[@jonnysimpson093]

That is the coolest looking gun I’ve ever seen

[@monkeeatsbanana7397]

not the best working though. it jams so much. its notorious for it. thats why john wick does that one hand cock. its actually a press check to see if the round is seated properly lmao.

[@jonnysimpson093]

@@monkeeatsbanana7397 yeah I had a 1911 they suck. The 2011s are usually a lot more reliable I’ve heard. Definitely can’t afford one so I can’t speak from experience. And a press check is just to see if the gun is loaded if the round wasn’t seated the slide wouldn’t lock forward all the way. That was my issue with the 1911 the slide would never lock forward

[@jman0701]

No island barrel? The one Taran introduced and reviewed as the John Wick gun on his channel had an island barrel...quite confusing

[@tallevi2300]

Big like

[@noblenumenorean5165]

Next time I have a spare $6k I'm definitely picking one up.

[@retrosdisease]

does anyone consistently shoot 9 major out of this gun? I called STI they said it was "meant" to shoot standard 9mm... Taran says it was built for 9 Major that isn't was STI claims.. I was told 9 major is going to crack the slide and the spring needs to be replaced to prevent slide crack when shooting 9 major

[@themagnificent9296]

Dude I come back to this video every so often just to drool 🤤🤤 did you ever get a part 2 of this gun recorded??

[@JoseGarcia-ch4is]

Seeing those bullets there made me anxious

@@themagnificent9296 I do know it’s 20 or 21, which isn’t a problem since I won’t have anywhere near that much spare money at that time. Will limit myself to decent and cheaper guns until I got stable economy, housing and so on. If my economy allows it I will be looking into a barrett and probably some high end or custom guns whenever I can comfortably spend that much on my hobby. After all it’s something you don’t really need.

I actually have the airsoft version of the Combat Master 2011 and it looks and feels so damn real like the real steel version. I mean trigger feel, magazine, iron sights, etc. The airsoft version is quite on the pricey side though costing around $245-$290.

[@rogeliocano9536]

I’ve heard they have lots of issues though. Have they sorted those issues? I ordered one a while ago but it’s still in pre-order.

真的帅

[@jthebk3864]

My only gripe is the the grips these fish scale grips are so overplayed in the 2011 world and honestly they look cheap to me. To each their own but if I was spending 4k on a pistol I'd want perfection haha

[@juiceandjays]

The ones they sell to the public are no exact to the one in the movie , the one in the movie has the fiber optic on the actual barrel it’s weird

[@knightofthesun758]

To pull the slide with one hand means weak spring, then weak spring also means failure to feed. Btw, it's only my IMO, forget it.

[@alexdobrev2769]

How did u get that 22 round mag in canada ? Doesnt look pinned to 10 rounds.

[@MM-kv8ly]

Use a block inside the mag and pin it near the bottom. Keeps that rivet away from the gun to prevent damage.

[@DDDarkz]

It's a much cleaner pin than the usual cheap style

[@joshsatchwell2161]

Doesn't the actual Wick gun have the special barrel and slide cut in the front exposing the top of the barrel?

That gun is almost 4 grand no thanks buddy its cool looks great and i bet it shoots like a dream ...but Glocks are good and Czs are a dream to shoot and my favorite gun i have a CZ P10F and i easily hit head shots at the range at 75 feet and it holds 20 and i paid 700 bucks for it .... like I said the gun is great but for that price point just not worth it I could buy two CZ and 3 M&P Sport 2 AR-15 for the price of that one gun...

[@TheLyingFigure]

Taran tactical is a bit of a gucci brand, their stuff is great but over priced due to brand recognition. They have the john wick lightweight AR15 for like 2 grand without optics but if you surf around for parts can build it for less than half, this gun isnt much different.
