Do you have a favorite 1911/2011? How does it compare to the Cobalt Kinetics Adeptus? Share your answer in the comment section.This Airsoft Electric Gun is a fully licensed replica of the Cobalt Kinetics TEAM 5.56x45mm AR platform rifle, which was made as a competition gun to massively improve timings by shortening operation of the rifle with an Automatic Magazine Ejection system called CARS. The Adeptus promptly cured me of that and with a 15- to 20-round magazine capacity, it opened my eyes as to how a great pistol could be made greater. I’ve tried them in all calibers but like most, swore by a single-stack. That is interesting, as I have been shooting, building, and collecting 1911s for 35 years. We can only hope as much, because while there always is room for improvement, these pistols seemed to have been at the pinnacle when they were specked out a few years ago I know that I thoroughly enjoy shooting this one. They certainly won’t cut any corners in production and who knows, maybe some of the features I recommended will make it into the final designs. Cobalt Kinetics is keeping it close to the vest for now, but this is one of the few companies that has never let me down in the industry. In fact, he went so far as to remark, “You couldn’t ask for more as a shooter!”Ĭhanges are in the offering for these pistols - beyond the initial prototypes. I shot every one of them a time or two, and they were all superb.Īccording to the author, shooting the Adeptus was pure joy. The other offerings, such as the carry models and the tactical versions, have a lot to offer to shooters as well. Keep track of the company’s website and its social media accounts for when that time comes. Because, low and behold, the political climate coupled with a global pandemic changed the firearms buying dynamic once again.Ĭobalt’s new owner has assured me that we will be seeing 1911s such as the Adeptus within the next six months. While the new owner did not shutter the AR operation, the 1911s were briefly put on the back burner. The original owners sold the company in 2019 to a local gun builder in St. In the interim, a few things have changed at Cobalt Kinetics. It never failed to impress with its accuracy and how readily it digested any type of ammunition from subsonic to +P loads. I’ve been shooting the Adeptus for over a year. I realize the STI and others preceded Cobalt with the double-stack 9mm 1911/2011, but the little touches specked out by Cobalt, such as the distinctive cocking serrations, pinned grip safety, etc., really tie together everything in a competitive platform.Īlthough designed as a competition piece, the Adeptus would make an excellent fighting handgun. Cobalt really turned the 1911 on its head for this one. That said, as it comes from Cobalt - in essence- it is a perfect pistol for competition as an open gun or one that you can brag about your accuracy in front of others at the range. While this pistol may not need a compensator, it would be a blast to mount a 9mm silencer on it. Second, I prefer threaded barrels on my pistols because I will always be a silencer guy. Perhaps, we will see that option at a later date… An option to mount a micro-sized electronic sight is a must these days. I love iron sights, but it’s getting to be the age of the red dot. First of all, it is now 2022 by the time you are reading this. While this was a prototype pistol, there are a few changes that I would like to see. However, if they were any shorter or more of a flush-mounted design, I could see possible headaches coming. ![]() Even the shorter 15-rounders showed no issues. However, it went perfectly with the extended STI 20-round magazines. My only concern in the beginning, was getting used to the large magazine well funnel. The Adeptus is a great-looking 1911 with unique flair. ![]()
