Learn me: staccato

[AshWilliams]

Just my random thoughts on the cost...and I don't own one...but I would like to...

• Higher grade of parts...like Dawson Precision sights
• Optic cut
• 3 mags (the mags are NOT cheap...comparatively)
• Very nice upgraded trigger
• Better accuracy than a lot of mass produced guns
• Solid warranty

Whether or not the cost is justified, however, is up to you. Also note that at the $2500-ish price range of the Staccato, you're not far off from Wilson Combat who has several flavors of double stack guns at this point...that are around the $3K range.

Review: Staccato 1911-Style Pistols :: Guns.com

Staccato pistols are all the rage right now. These double-stack 1911-style pistols, like the C2, offer capacity and extreme shootability.

I try to keep an open mind as much as possible so I'd like to try a Staccato for sure, but I have a very utilitarian philosophy to life, especially as I grow older.

I'm 68, got mine a year ago. Why did I wait? Can't spend it when I'm up/down there. Keep shooting..

That's on par with asking why a Lambo is better than a Camry.

Is it though...

850 HP Camry built by Toyota. Lamborghini Huracan is around 650HP if I remember correctly...

That's the equivalent of a Gucci Glock….. and yes I have one of those too. lol.

I have an XL. It is almost a sin to shoot. I've got the glocks, The CZ's, the Sig's. have had the taurus and springfields. This shoots so much better than them. Recoil is non-existent. For a larger sidearm its balance is so spot on you'd tink your holding a p01. It makes me a better shooter. And thats with iron sights. Thats me shooting. Old guy, not as steady in the hands. Comparing it to any of my other 9's. past and present.
Is it worth what I paid for it? debatable. But then I have a few nighthawks and an odd ed brown. I've mentioned in the site that while they are extraordinary guns, are they worth the price. That's debatable by any 3-4 people. The XL and XC have good resale on the market. I rarely see them for less than 3k, and they don't last long. And i feel the 2011 market is more open now than the higher end 1911's.
That's my 2 cents. Which given this group means I'm a buck seventy-five in the hole

So you have spent a lot on a handgun. There's hope for you after all.

Oh I've spent plenty. It just has zero resale value. lol.

I've noticed the XL's never come up for resale. Apparently they've designed the P's to run almost any 9mm ammo. And the XC's and XL's are staying true to the race gun STI heritage. Finicky.

I don't want to know about Infinity's and Atlas's. I'm not rich. I'm presently looking into Atlas and MBX mags.

Trying to get the staccato P's to run like the XC is not making for any value on resale either.

Build and shoot whatever you wish just don't mess with the 1911
All 1911's should be in 45acp or 38 super . 1911's in 9mm are not 1911's in my opinion. Buy a hi power. Flame on.

i'm not so sure about that. while i wont shoot steel casings through any of my firearms, the XL has eaten what I've feed her, from ammoland to blazer to wwb. never a hiccup

Then it must be the XC that's finicky. Thanks for the info!

A Volkswagen can do 90% of what a Porsche can do. A Craftsman wrench can do 99% of what a Snap On wrench can do.

After using both brands of wrenches for years on the job, I prefer the snap-on.

So for the sake of argument, what advantage does wielding a Staccato give over other pistols?

 

[Certaindeaf]

What makes them so expensive? I understand good tools and paying for quality but there seems to be a heck of a gap between good expensive handguns and staccato. Does baby jesus machine them by hand or something?

And for the sake of discussion and relativity (whats cheap to me maybe expensive for joeblow, etc) lets say a $500 glock is a "cheap" handgun in the grand scheme of things. So what makes staccato worth 5-10 glocks?

4lbs of wank iirc.

Single action trigger pull.

STI STACCATO 2011

Bought this staccatoXC, and was hoping to run it in competition. Just can’t get used to the 1911 frame, Run too many other race guns, and it just doesn’t translate for me back back-and-forth like I had hoped. Probably would be tremendous for another shooter/collector. Definitely the Ferrari of...
