 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in at the range now, and I've got something that I've been wanting to get my hands on for a while It seems to be an outstanding handgun. It is a double-stack 1911 now if you haven't noticed the double-stack 1911s are gaining popularity like none other they are Really off the charts. It's almost like the single-stack nines back in the day where everybody wanted one However, what we have here is a masterpiece arms DS9. That's not mine. This belongs to smash time He made the trip to Michigan. I said you have to bring the masterpiece DS9 and he did and I'm really looking forward to this because huge fan of 1911s Huge fan of very nice 1911s Now you know me you may know masterpiece from their precision rifles some of their nine millimeter sub guns But this is the DS9 double-stack comes with 17 and 20 round mags MBX mags. These aren't cheap. It has a five-inch bull barrel Raised front sight raised rear sight. He has a Trigicon SRO on there Now if you go with this model, you will notice that you can upcharge a whole bunch of things really custom fit it to your Personality, but one of the things that stands out and you hear this so often But it's really true is the flat trigger right there. It just breaks right around Two pounds with that short reset Red grip. They have many different colors flared out mag. Well, okay. You ready? $3,200 that's what you're looking at But I took a few shots just to see where it was impacting make sure the dot was on and it was so about 13 yards away. Let's see how it does Come on now. I knew there would be something about this gun that I like and Now I know for sure It has a ambidextrous thumb safety and I really like the SRO I had that on the The Terran tactical sand viper and I really liked that big window there Nice shooting gun they the recoil is like nothing all steel full rail on the bottom But one of the things I want to try to do Emphasis try to do and see how well I do one handed some of the times you Extend your arm out there and it shakes especially with an all steel frame 1911 Well, let's see. I'm gonna slow it down a bit and see if I can Thumb safety engaged masterpiece arms came out with this Under a year ago. I saw some reviews a lot of people liked it. They said hey look You know they're in the game of a double stack nine millimeter and that's I was like seriously masterpiece arms does so well with Precision rifles some sub guns and everything but when they came out with this very lightweight spring by the way I was immediately attracted to it. It looks nice. I like the features and those were essentially my first shots I took a couple shots earlier. You may notice the slide cuts right there It is a ball barrel All right always nice touch and it's a 1911 with a very short trigger done. I mentioned it was flat All right, very very flat no curve to it at all. I Just want to shoot this again. So let me load up when I said that the DS 9 cost 3200 that is with this model you're looking at between 550 and 654 the SRO it does not come with a red dot So that's an additional cost or you can go with iron sights Raised serrated black rear sight fiber optic front sight Love the trigger and one of the things that is so cool with all steel guns is the lack of recoil And I know 9 millimeter is not a big deal, but it is so Smooth so let me go ahead and take a few shots backed up just a little bit here We go and the slide did not lock back But this is what I wanted to get my hands on and I'm happy I did because This is a growing trend I will tell you right now and I've got some reviews coming up shortly This is a growing trend double stack 9 millimeter really taking off in the competition circuit people love it and Manufacturers are taking notice and say, you know what people love it. They're buying it They're putting money out. Just look at stikados. Now Speaking of stikado a lot of people will say that's a 2011 or a 2011 Well, that's a stikado thing. It's not across the board So this is not labeled by masterpiece arms as a 2011 the viewers say that stikado says that But this is a masterpiece arms DS 1911 DS 9 1911, but there's a closer look at it. I think it's pretty Pretty nice and I have no complaints check out that trigger guard how you it goes from the grip and all the way around All right, so shout out to shooting target 7. I got a new new target. It's the middle one It's a 10 inch target and what I did was I got a Base and a little swinger there with a 10 inch AR 500 target. So this winter I could actually Put the base down without having a pound of steak into the Into the ground, but here we are 20 yards away. Let's see how I do. I like the way this optic is sighted is nice Like the target But like the DS 9 more this thing is really nice and You know smash times on to something here because this guy got over here for a minute What do you like about this gun that makes it so special? So I've shot I've had the ability to shoot a lot of double-stack 1911's and I think this one fit finish and the Way it shoots the trigger. It's a complete package I like this one out of all the ones I've shot so far. I absolutely like this the best I Do too, I think this is pretty nice. I think if I would have slowed down a little bit I would have had better success there With the 20 yard shots, but that trigger once again What do we say two and a half two and a half? Of course, I kept the mag in there Look at this reset So there it is masterpiece arms DS 9 I'm gonna try to work out a deal with this guy because This has to come home with me if you like videos like this place subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button Put your thumb up Thanks for watching and you guys be safe
