High, C Class CO shooter here. Still shooting my polymer Rival since launch and happy as all hell with it. My skill and age is my limiting factor, so never found the need to get a different gun. Hopefully, I'll make B Class with it next year!
@brianshuler6951
I haven't competed in years and the guns I still own that are closest to any of those you tested are an old, stock P226 and a government 1911. Still, I really enjoy this and all of your videos. Thanks.

Gotta love how the canik rival still hangs out with the big boys despite the price etc. Great for those who are new to competative shoting
@Northeasterner4
Appreciate you overdubbing for the doggos!
@hopewilliams6705
I run my Rival -S in l.o. locally and give those super expensive 2011s a good run .
@billthemarine4435
P226 X-5 is my favorite pistol. I own a few of the German made ones. I did run Tanfo's in limited division for a few years but, aging eyes and occasional magazine feeding issues from the extended mags caused me to move on. It really does come down to shooter preference and practice.
@curtisfeder1824
For me I went with a Dan Wesson DWX in this role mainly because I was already invested in the CZ infrastructure shooting a P-10F in carry optics and having a bunch of mags and extensions. I was looking at a 2011 but didn't want to end up investing a bunch of extra money in magazines. Having 2 guns for competition that use the same mags is pretty awesome.
@FreemontCarver
Your channel is amazing!! I like how you shoot all kinds of guns and even though you have your favorite one you are honest about them! Loved your video on the Desert Eagle!! The Desert Eagle is an amazing gun and so much fun to shoot!!
@Moderndaycowboy74
Thank you for this video! I've purchased a 226 x5 and was considering whether to use it or not in my beginning journey of competitions
@hilltop1845
Excellent format...would really like to see the same thing with popular/comparable striker fires. Great job, thanks.
@hostilegoat
The true answer is to buy the one that makes you happy to pick up and look at
@Lakanen263
Thanks for the video I have been thinking about getting that Canik.
@dyedm11
Another great comparison video! Im eagerly waiting for you to get your hands on the the new sight block MPA, before i decide to buy or not
@robertbuchanan562
I want Bul Armory Blaze!!! Can't wait for the review topped with the C-More rst3 of course with 6 moa dot.
@steelshooter2289
I had asked you a while ago on FB messenger which I should choose an MPA or the Bull Armory, I went with the MPA and I have to say I can't get enough time with that pistol. as the most expensive gun I own, It is far and away a purchase I don't regret. can't wait for the USPSA and IDPA seasons to start again after winter. Thanks for the recommendation.
@Neomet010
I still shoot my CZ Tac Sport that I started with 18 years ago, albeit converted to 9mm and with an optic. I've shot and owned high end 2011s as well, but they didn't improve my game. That said, this is a hobby and if you get a rush buying a new gun or widget for it have fun. Just don't plan on a substantive improvement in your performance. :-)
@bighaasfly
I like to see a $500 investment comparison. Take two people that are mid level shooters and give them both the same gun. Measure their results. Give one $500 to invest in upgrades on the gun and give the other $500 in lessons with a pro and required daily practice for two weeks. Then measure the results at the end of two weeks.
@trullmann
Really looking forward to getting my p226 XFive Reserve out to the range and doing a lot of practice!
@CurtisBrandt
Great presentation, and really nice guns to compare. The idea of expertise is very interesting. Many lines of inquiry conclude a similar thing. Results are more dependent upon picking a single direction and pushing there. After developing proficiency, that individual can use many other instruments (spoken loosely) at about the same level.
