As a Gun Owner from the Bavarian Alps as well as former Gebirgsjäger of the 23rd Gebirgsjägerregiment (231st Gebirgsjägerbattalion) with 2 Afghanistan and 1 Kosovo Tour i did do a few Excercises with the Italian "Alpini" and i do remember one of their "Sergeants" (would be the equivalent i think) using his own Staccato CS/XC (?) i don't remember, been over 10 Years and while we had one of those "Let's try out eachothers Weapons he let me shoot it and i immediately fell in Love. Don't know about US Prices for them, but they're rather worth their Price over here in Europe for what you get Prost & Cheers from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps
Went to my local range and rented on cause I wanted to know how they shoot , well I got to get one and I figure it will be the c I'm not a bad shot ,but I couldn't miss and follow up shoots are unreal , are there better guns yes ,I basically spend a grand on a gun now if I like it , so I guess I'm dropping 3000 on this bad boy my retirement present to myself ,
Love all my staccatos! And it's great to see a fellow vet do so damn well on RU-vid! I hope to accomplish a fraction of the success you have on my channel! Keep up the great work brother! Soldier for Life!
I just toured their factory in Florence, TX last week. They are a very well built pistol and assembled with care and precision from their gunsmiths. I look forward to finally purchasing mine.
Love mine! Picked it up a few weeks ago. I've put about 150 rounds through it so far and as soon as I can find a holster I really like for the 2024 version, it'll definitely be my primary EDC. From what I understand, the slightly increased frame thickness is incompatible with most kydex holsters out right now. I'm running irons too. Thought about picking up an RMR or Delta Point Pro for it, but I'm thinking I wanna keep it as sleek as possible for carry purposes. Might end up picking up a red dot for competition shooting at some point, but I'm 100% satisfied with it in stock form. Hands down, my favorite carry gun I own and a top 3 in my arsenal.
Great video.The Staccato CS is my EDC CCW pistol. It’s my best shooter and compact enough to carry AIWB. I’ve got 1,600 rounds through it with no malfunctions and it eats any ammo. Some say they wouldn’t carry it because of the price, but it’s a gun I’d trust my life with. The chances of using it in a defensive situation is low, but if I had to use a pistol to defend my life, this is it.
Hey Eric, i just ordered my CS directly from Staccato. Dlc barrel, flat trigger, X Serration Cuts. This is my second Staccato, i also have the Heritage 4.15 Model and love it! I opted for the fast track option so I will receive it within 30 days! I'm in New Jersey and Staccato are out of mags. I was forwarded a link of a co that had genuine Staccato 10 rd mags in stock for $99.00 each.
Hey Eric. Awesome video. Where is Chad? He has been absent from the channel for quite some time. I am eagerly waiting for the new Staccato C. In my opinion, it will probably be the best overall Staccato ever made. Always Faithful, Always Forward. Aaron Beaulieu
I was a bit surprised by the statement that Staccato "owned" the 2011 name. Thing is the first 2011 I saw was a STI. So I looked around and what do you know, STI are now named Staccato... Well what do you know, I learned something today.
@@Nighthawk69420 not really just sounds like your normal 40 but the barrel stays straight instead of kicking up that's what the two slices in the top of the slider for
Maybe its overpriced? Who cares. It very well may be but even if it is an person can purchase an Taurus G3C or Shield plus for the here and now and be well served and then save up longer term for the more expensive Staccato. The cheap pistol does fine in the wait.
It's a sweet gun but realistically it's not something most people can afford or afford to use as a carry gun. I would if I could but I can't so I won't.
@@brandiwynterI too am from the south, but not in the US mainland. Thought that that saying was only a thing where I come from lol. Just curious, how much does this thing of beauty run for, just basic without any major specs?
This blog is great. This gun is great, no it isn't, you're full of crap, no- you're full of crap. You must be poor, no- I could buy an island if I wanted to. Anywayyyyyy. Great job, Eric
Staccato is not the “apex” 2011’s. Once you shoot say a Nighthawk Sandhawk, or a Cabot Insurrection, you’ll see the difference immediately. I’m not suggesting that Staccato doesn’t make a great gun, because they do. I’m simply stating they are in no way shape or form the “apex” of their arena. Carry on.
@@hml3108 Apex: The top or highest point of. As in, pinnacle. So, to say “for the price they are”, is an incredulous rebuttal that further proves my statement. They are not the “Apex” of their genre. They’re great guns, without a doubt, but not the apex, period.
You say that until you feel the mechanical perfection. I sold staccatos and other high end 1911/2011s. The actions and triggers are perfect in every way.
That is the case you get with that gun?? Anyone can cut into it with the cheapest blade ever? I guess if you can afford one it will always be in a monster safe or you fly private. Sheesh.
@@hml3108 somebody needs a sense of humor that doesn't involve the SADISTIC fantasies about "bleeding-heart bloodthirsty 🤔I guess notsees". It's a line from the movie "The Three Amigos".
Have u owned one???? Just say u can’t afford it it’s not for everyone!! Best thing I ever shot and I own fn Glock sig colt custom glocks and other pistols staccato the best for the price
Yeah, I hate the most prominent pistol caliber in the world that can hold 2x as many rounds in a mag than a 45 while also having essentially the same amount of energy with modern ammunition.
@@leadfarmer556yeah an HK USP, sure, but have you seen FBI statistics? I’d still rather have less recoil, twice as many rounds, and pretty much the same lethality with good shot placement. If you want power get a 10 mm. Or a rifle.
