Quoted: You'll shoot a better gun better. The whole "the gun is more accurate than the shooter" is bullshit. Yes, the mechanical accuracy is, but there is a lot more that goes into making a good shot than mechanical accuracy. View Quote It’s like nails on a chalkboard to me. ALL GUNS SHOOT BETTER THAN THE PERSON SHOOTING IT. PEOPLE CAN NOT SHOOT BETTER THAN THE MECHANICAL ACCURACY OF ANY GIVEN FIREARM. The idea that people have to justify buying a more accurate weapon is asinine. Who cares if they can’t hit the broadside of a barn. Let people buy what they want. |

View Quote Yes they can, but you have to look at much longer ranges to do it. I agree with you 100% on handguns, but there are many people shooting better scores in 600 and 1000 yard matches than a gun in a vise will shoot, due to wind calls shot to shot. We could argue about whether the outside influence is truly impacting mechanical accuracy but conditions are conditions and they require live interaction to mitigate. |

Staccato is a good looking pistol. But not that good looking when I can get something cheaper

They kept all the best parts of the 1911 platform (trigger, ergonomics) while addressing the shortcomings (weight, capacity) in a package that isn’t astronomically expensive.

2500 pffffft. My TSO with mags and SRO cost that. The new Staccato I'm eyeballing is over 4 grand.

My agency for about two or three years allowed us to carry the Springfield professional 1911. Most accurate handgun I’ve ever shot in my life and I don’t shoot outside of quarterly qualifications. Currently I carry a Glock 17 or 19 but compared to my 1911 my scores are down by at least 15% even though I shoot the exact same amount every year. The firearm in fact does make a big difference in accuracy.

Though I own a few it’s been awhile since I’ve really handled a 1911, I’ve just been shooting my soulless Tupperware carry guns. I picked up a Prodigy and figured it’d scratch the itch of a 2011. I know full well where the Prodigy is on the spectrum of 2011’s, but even then, I REALLY like it. Instead of curing that desire, it made me want a Staccato that much more. Turns out these 2011’s are pretty cool after all.

Quoted: Probably the 3rd time I ever fired handguns, I went to a range and rented a glock, a sig p226, a kriss vector, and a Sig 1911. I was massively more accurate at 10 yards with the 1911 than the others. It wasn't even close. The straight back pull of the trigger and grip angle makes it better than all the others for effortless accuracy. View Quote I know Sigs have a lot of haters, and I know Sig 1911’s have a lot of haters among 1911 fans as it’s not a “true” 1911. But I have two (C3 and Emperor Scorpion) and they’re VERY nice and offer quality and features well above their price point. |

They aren’t going to do it every time they shoot, because there is a bit of luck involved in it happening. |

Because some people like skinny girls and some like fat ones?
Tastes vary, although the straight pull trigger on a Staccato just feels better than any pivoting trigger. |
|
If I was a gun gamer I'd probably have one. The price is a bit off-putting though since I don't.
|

Well now I wanna get a Staccato just so I can put a 507Comp on it.

Who did you borrow it from? View Quote The Nighthawk is mine. Second 1911 I ever bought. Ed Brown was the first. Traded the Ed Brown for a Colt Model 70 Gold Cup. The APC came from the factory with the brace and tailhook, and the stock from BT was never in stock. Ironic. The Legion is perfection. DA trigger is better than the NH. SA is flawless. Reset is insane. Sad, because I can't stand Sig 1911's. |

US Army Delta Force gave STI a try. They gave up and went back to Glock.

Completely made in the USA
Incredible warranty/customer service I shoot mine better than the Glocks it replaced. You do you. If I had a job where I was overseas depending on my handgun for my life and had a supply chain, etc. then I MIGHT go back to a Glock, but seeing as I'm not high speed, nor low drag my C2/RMR works very well in it's intended role, as does my P Dpos |

And did STI's get more popular now that Staccato is the new heat, or are they considered old and busted?
I've got a NIB STI .45 single stack that I never got around to using, figured it was what it was, and then I see that all of a sudden the renamed company is the shizzle. |

View Quote STI was a good company that made intro guns for USPSA and a bunch of 1911s. Then they tried to make just competition guns (DVC), but it soon became apparent that their guns wouldn't last with the high round counts comp shooters shot. So they went to the tactical timmy market with a big instagram marketing campaign. It works great for them because timmies don't shoot a lot but like to spend a lot of money to try to impress other shooters. |
