Stacatto. Worth it?

[Nosferatu]

Yea. I'd prefer it in black for sure. But if someone wanted to give me one I wouldn't turn it down. FDE aka sh!t brown makes you more better tacticool…. Lol.

My M&P 10mm says "pass the peanut butter, Dilbert."

I bought a Staccato P a couple years ago. Quickly became my favorite pistol.
It has been just as reliable as my striker fired guns. About 16K rounds in it with no issues.
It's in my rotation for edc and a has made the platform my preference

I've heard issues with the Prodigy and that's kind of a disappointment coming from SA as my first gun was from them and worked great.

From what I've read and heard, there were some issues early on with the Prodigy, but SA has largely, if not completely, solved those problems, and the gun is pretty solid now.

If you're going to drop $2k+ plus on a pistol and your financial situation allows you to only buy one you need to make a decision it's exactly what you want that pistol to do. Weigh the pros and and cons. The Staccato is a fantastic pistol and worth it imo. The CZ Shadow, TS, TS2 or TSO imo is also fantastic. If you like a 1911 platform the Staccato is tuff to beat for a semi custom double stack 1911. The Sig P226 XFIVE Legion would also be on my short list in that 2k-$2600 range.

How would you compare your p226 x5 to stacatto? Seriously thinking of picking up that sig, handled it in the store but have never shot one.

Having not shot it as much as the Staccato it's fast. Again it depends on what you want it to do. With the comp it would put me in an uncompetitive disadvantage in competition. As a range toy it's really pretty good and has marginally lower cost mags. Regular 226 mags don't fit so only xfive mags work with the magwell. Trigger is good on the XFIVE but not quite on par with the Staccato imo even though it feels a bit lighter. Even after 15k+ thousand rounds out of the Staccato the slide is tighter and has better fitment.

Lots of used ones up for sell… they also had a bud light moment with the wonderful Tim Kennedy around the time of shot show. I won't spend that kind of money on a pistol. Especially one I can't drop. But that's just me.

They definitely have a social media presence. They are nice to shoot. And they make you a better shooter but it's not worth the price point for me. Others will disagree.

At 3k I can buy 7 to 8 Glocks. Or a ton of ammo and training. I have also heard nightmare stories about their customer service.

Exactly. $540 for a Glock 17, and almost $4,000 to spend on training and ammo. You'll definitely shoot many factors better than a Staccato XC with no practice.

 

[pseudohipster]

Always wanted one but they've tended to be outside my price range. Staccato seems to be the most common and those run $2500ish or more. A lot of people say that getting less expensive ones will leave you wanting more and you'll just end up spending more in the end. That's been kinda been my experience with firearms in general.
Even "inexpensive" 2011s/ dbl stack 1911s start close to $1k and quickly go up from there. A lot to spend on something you might not be satisfied with.

There are a lot of other types of cool guns I could buy with Stacatto money. I'm just wondering if this is a phase for most people where they get that itch and then sell and move on or.... should every gun enthusiast own a high quality 1911/2011 style firearm? Will it be something I want to pass down through the family?

I got a CS for EDC. It is, AMAZING. super smooth action. follow up shots are like from mind control, meaning you just think about it and boom it happens. Amazing shooter. My main issue is cost though. On the one hand, if for some reason it is taken from me, that is a ridiculous amount of money to carry on your hip all day. on the other, if you are good on the platform, it might be worth the advantage you'd have in a scenario. I am sure you can train to that level on a more traditioanl and cheaper striker/hammer platform, but i would consider this a cheat code. No judgement in taking the cheat or not.

The P226 X5 will take the standard or hi cap mags but you will need to change out the base . I went with the Armanov base and comes in many colors and could not be happier . I did get the P226 X5 Legion comp is that what you have ?

I am in on any P226 as well as the Cz they both do not know when to quit and believe me I have fed them everything even steel case wolf . The third one would be the Prodigy and will devour anything but flat tip defense type rounds and have about 1500 rounds on this one and still one of my favorites.

It has been one of the most "meet your hero " guns for me. They are nice but not for the price point they have gotten to. I still have a couple STI pistols and enjoy them. I feel after the name change over they "got a little big for their britches"

Yeah if I could score a used STI in a configuration I was interested in at a fair price, I'd do it. But they've only gone up in price too. They used to have a 10mm double stack and they don't make one under the Staccato name anymore. That'd be my dream but not within my reach at the moment.

 

[repfea]

i've got a prodigy and had zero issues. personally i think it's a good middle ground vs. a stacatto. a little over 600 rounds so far and no issues

 

[dplev4]

So is a Staccato worth it, my answer is still yes. If I was younger I'd definitely be saving up for one. However, I'm in my seventh decade and downsizing or at least not "collecting" really does make sense.

Okay, and finally, for comparison sake, I have an Sig P226 Legion which is fantastic to shoot and accurate . The Staccato I've now shot several times now, is smoother, perhaps a little faster, and really really accurate. And for all that, I'm still a Glock guy…

 

[ilikegunspdx]

Not worth it to me at all. The reason is it's too much $. Could buy loads and loads of killer guns for the same amount. I bet the $579 grand power x-calibur would shoot just as well for 95+% of people. The balance can be used for multiple awesome guns and ammo. I could get hk expert Usp 9mm and x/calibur and still have loads of $ left over.

 

[Bobbygun]

Why don't you just say it? "I'm too cheap to buy a Stacatto."

Here, I'll start it: "I'm too cheap to buy a Stacatto." True story!

But see, if you buy one, then you stock up on mags. Then you think 'hey I dont have to buy more mags, I'll just get another staccato'. Then they multiply . . . ;-)
It's just like those Beretta .22 mags we both have? Heh . .

 

[Jcon268]

Well I decided to pull the trigger on a Staccato P with a threaded barrel. I guess, in the end, what attracted to me it above all else was the track record for reliability. Overall, it seems the reviews leaned toward they're accurate, easy to shoot, reliable and have good customer service. A high-end range gun that isn't reliable or only eats certain types of ammo isn't what I was looking for. I paid under $2k for mine. If I was having to pay closer to $3k, I would have reconsidered.

Now you have to get that Shadow 2. Or the Langdon Beretta we were talking about ;-)

I'm going to have to make a list of body parts I can sell off. I don't really *need* 2 kidneys, right?
