Sram chain needed

My Warbird has a SRAM Apex 11 speed drivetrain, and the chain is worn to .5%. It originally came with a pc-1110 chain, which is hard to find right now. Any suggestions on an alternate?

PC1130, PC X1 (probably the best value)

Thanks for the replies. Would a 11 speed 105 chain work?

I've run kmc chains in the last, was pretty happy with them. Found a kmc x11 in the UK for $37. Price is a little bit high, but worst case I could go that way.

Might go to the LBS this weekend and see what they have. Can't believe the state of cycling right now, almost impossible to find a chain. Worst case I can ride a different bike.

Or Campy or Wipperman, any 11 speed chain should work.

I have had best luck keeping the chain the same brand as the cassette on every build I've done. KMC has disappointed me every time, not sure why? My vote is the 1130 chain which is readily available just about everywhere I just looked for less than $25

Chains seem to be the latest supply horror. My LBS owner/riding friend told me had to order from a large online dealer and pay retail just to have some in the shop.

Wound up buying an Ultegra 11 speed chain from the local shop. Kind of nice having some human interaction, it's been a long time with the current situation.
