My 2011 Pick-Ups of 2024.

[@LivinLifeontheR5]

Great review and wow you’ve had a great year! First time coming across your channel and I’m happy that the algorithm sent you my way. Just subscribed! You aren’t lying about KZbin being more difficult than you thought…. But you’re doing it well! Can’t wait to see what you put out in 2025.

[@claymac2011]

@@LivinLifeontheR5 Thank you for the kind words. I’m still getting used to talking on camera and get to rambling at times but I’m having fun and that’s all that matters😂. I’m keeping the format simple with most of my focus being on build quality vs shooting performance. I do this because of how expensive these guns are and want to inform folks on how much energy and time goes into these builds. I also do this because I find most YT reviewers just give the cliff notes and generalize their opinions about a gun and I simply want more information. I really enjoy helping others and learning new things as apart of this process as well. So it’s win/win because I love this platform! Thank you once again.

[@LivinLifeontheR5]

I think your content is refreshing and very informative. I watch a lot of Guntuber’s and really enjoy seeing and hearing different outlooks, from run and gun to breakdown and specs. Everyone has a story or knowledge that we can learn from and you’re doing a great job sharing your knowledge with us.

@@LivinLifeontheR5 I love all aspects of it as well and love chatting about guns. I'm working hard on my shooting skills for speed/accuracy here lately because I see my skills are are lacking compared to the competition shooters. My biggest issue is there's no USPSA events in my local area so I can't really see I stack up but I've watched enough guys shoot to know I'm above average. However, I keep pushing myself to go faster and focus on my fundamentals to keep getting better. As far as the YT channel goes, I'm trying to do things differently than other folks in a couple ways. 1) I don't do this for money and will say prices and trigger pulls weights because I don't need money from doing YT. I won't be able to bring as many reviews because of this but what I do review will be very informative. 2) I typically do a 3 video review format: First impressions, the review itself, and then I break the gun all the way down and step through each component part. 3) I grade each sample on its own merits and report the news. This way folks can pick out certain areas for their use case when thinking of buying a 2011. 4) I'm no expert and will admit when I'm wrong. My wife loves this about me 😁 I will also acknowledge when my opinions change as a result of new information or an experience. Once again just trying to be me as the kids say...lol

You picked up a nice collection this year! I started down the rabbit hole with a prodigy last summer then picked up a MPA, just ordered a Romulus and will be ordering my atlas Apollo after the first of the year. Its definitely fun collecting them!

[@claymac2011]

Yes Sir. It’s a real addiction 😂I can’t wait till that Hayes gets in. Love those MPAs.

@ I haven’t ever handled a hayes but from what I hear they are very nice. look forward to your review.

[@teamblacksmithllc]

Hey clay!! Great picks up brother. That Vulcan and Priest are 🔥🔥🔥. You got me sold on them. Appreciate the shoutout. Looking forward to meeting you at Shotshow. Great reviews!! Keep it the great work brother.

[@claymac2011]

Thank you Sir! I've been watching your content for a while now but I wasn't very active with commenting until here recently. I keep telling folks that Vulcan is special. I haven't felt a smoother actioned 2011 in my life. I don't have nearly the experience you do with higher end brands but I put the Titan and Vulcan side by side and the Vulcan was smoother for sure. The great part is has 6-8 week build time vs a Priest at a year. I love both guns but prefer my Vulcan. See you in a couple weeks!

[@ShooterKev]

High caliber definitely has some good stuff! The new modern warriors has a ton as well. I went there last weekend. Finally got to play around with a few that are on my list.

[@claymac2011]

I saw that a couple weeks ago that they had bought another shop up there. I'm going to check them out next time I'm in Nashville. So which guns did you get to handle?

[@LVbibby]

Like your videos and info sir keep it going ! Great group of double stacks well done. Vortex Compdot is killing it; so close to the XL and the scheels 2 hundo deal is nuts I had to grab a few of the haha.

I was gonna say, voodu starts DLC and they are money, I have an atlas and it’s got some slop in it.

[@claymac2011]

@@user-ed5jh3ff6u I keep saying let us make the choice on the finish but I know the DLC vendors only want large scale accounts to fill their chambers. You are the first person to say that about an Atlas. I thought the same when I shot and handled the Titan. I thought my Priest was better fit but find each gun can be different. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Yepper 😎I spent way too much energy debating folks on MIM vs value on my JG Black review. I thought to myself I could care less about whether or not they like the gun because all that matters is that I like it. You do you boo-boo as they say 🤣 Thanks for for watching and keeping it fun!

[@abmchotwheels946]

I watched another KZbin influencers video on the Jacob Grey vs Staccato P and asked him which would he rather have if he could only choice one he said the Staccato Well I bought the Jacob Grey instead lol and absolutely love the Jacob Grey so I was wondering if the Jacob Grey was so good what could the Staccato be like so I bought one and it is very nice but I am so glad I bought the Jacob Grey first because I may have never bought it after shooting the P but I would take the Jacob Grey over it any day. I absolutely love my Jacob Grey

[@claymac2011]

@@abmchotwheels946 I wouldn’t consider myself an influencer…lol I’m just a regular dude who loves guns. I love my Staccato’s as well but I find certain people don’t like the mainstream and want something different. I think the TWC is a great little gun. I also think an all metal gun makes difference in quality and recoil. I’m glad to hear you love your JG! Thanks for watching brother

[@djgsc9870]

I don't own both but I've shot both and I prefer the Staccato over the JG, and Im from SC

[@claymac2011]

I prefer both 😂 I love guns and more guns. This is why I grade these guns in my reviews and give a score on its own merits. I have my favorites for different reasons but I understand the question because these guns are really expensive. Thanks for watching brother.

[@abmchotwheels946]

@djgsc9870 Please dont get me wrong the Staccato is the OG of 2011s It is a awesome gun I just like the JG better Maybe because it is different or because no one gives it a chance to really see how good it is because everyone wants the Staccato because it is the OG
