Like your 2011 magazines had to be like custom, uh, tuned and custom shaped or whatever, like to be able to run in your gun.

And, um,

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
ZERT Coffee & Chaos 147 โ€“ Post-SHOT Show & Minneapolis Unrest

Now, the difference is there's 2011 pistols that are coming off of a machine in an assembly line.

They're not all custom anymore, but yeah, you're right.

The Terran Tactical ones that have been around for several years now, they've always been seven to eight thousand dollars.

But I've shot a lot of guns in my time, and it kind of takes a lot to impress me.

And the Terran Tactical 2011 is one of the few guns that stand out in my memory that I've shot.
