Good points, thanks for sharing! I've wondered why CZs in particular don't seem to get bogged down in a similar manner despite the large amount of rail contact between slide and frame. Maybe partly due to looser tolerances, but I'm sure there is something going on in the physics of the 1911/2011 that brings it on quicker.

@@MagDumpGuns The 75 compacts that I own have a similar barrel hood locking lug design to 1911s. There's less opportunity for play due to the CZs elimination barrel linkage and pin, so I'm guessing they don't have to be fit quite as tightly to still offer consistent lockup. In my 1911s, it's the barrel locking lugs that seem to need lube first, and get hung up mostly in the last bit of the feeding cycle before the barrel is fully locked. The full length rails don't seem to get too messy in either the CZs or the SIG P226. Of the guns I mentioned in the last post, I'd imagine the CZ would have the shortest interval before it needed some lube. That said, I own two compacts and a family member owns a full-size 75B; between the three pistols, I've only ever seen one failure over a combined ~8-10k rounds (a primer that failed to ignite on the first strike).

Thanks for the feedback! I hope you enjoy your Staccato!

@MagDumpGuns I just commented on your Staccato P review, and it's definitely made lower my expectations or at least temper my expectations about it. Hopefully, it's at least a good or reasonable experience. Again, thank you for your insights .

A Shadow 2 is definitely on my wish list!

@@MagDumpGunsI’m hoping there is a SAO conversion for the Shadow2 compact. I’m still waiting for my Gunsmith to get my Apex trigger put in my Shadow2. It’s going on two years he has had it. I wish he would get a burr to work on it. I don’t get out and shoot much so it’s not a big deal.

@@J.Young808 You are much more patient than me! SAO Shadow 2 compact that was carry safe would be pretty neat!

I used to own a CZ P09 and wish I hadn’t sold it. I definitely need a DA/SA again.

Maybe I misspoke, I was referring to using your support hand to work the slide release (on the 2011) vs using the strong hand thumb to work the release (most other platforms). Either of these is definitely going to be faster than the old slingshot “gross motor skill” method.

It’s a factory option - one of the LE skus with black anodized finish. When I bought it there wasn’t any kind of credential verification, so it might be worth giving it a shot if you’re interested in one and don’t technically qualify.

Thanks for the support! I think the Apex'd M&P definitely gives the Staccato a run for its money. I'm thinking about getting a threaded barrel so I can run a PMM comp on the M&P. At that point I think it has the potential to be truly special. Time wise I think the Staccato might edge out the M&P ever so slightly (for me) and the Ramjet G45 is probably about the same as the Staccato P. One caveat to this is that I have probably 20 times as many rounds through the glock platform than any of the others, so my comfort level is obviously higher with it. Also, if you watched the Ramjet review, I had not fired 115 grain ammo through it prior to dropping the review. All of my stash is either 124 nato spec FMJ or 124 +p carry ammo. I shot some 115s through it the other day and it was absolutely wild. Regarding the GPT - Initially I loved it, and it felt like a significant difference than my stock Glock triggers. As time went on, the difference between stock and the GPT seemed to blur a bit. Not sure if this was just me getting used to it or not. I will say the GPT was nice for slow aimed fire, but for shooting quickly I don't think it made much difference. I ended up removing it as I didn't see enough of a difference to merit keeping it on there, and I don't clean/lube my glocks hardly ever which the GPT requires. Haven't sold it though if that says anything. I installed an Apex connector on the G45 this week (haven't shot it yet) which gives a bit smoother press for only like 20 bucks.

In purchasing the M&P in this video (LE only model) I didn't have to give any kind of credentials, so I would try it if you really want that 3.6. Worst they can say is no! I really want to try the P10f, especially at the rock bottom prices it's at right now, but I worry the trigger reach will be too short for me. The way their backstraps work the trigger reach stays constant. Might still get one anyway just to see though.

@@MagDumpGuns I wear a size Large Mechanix glove. I don’t find the reach too short. I like that there is a large trigger guard. On my Glock 19 during dry fire I brush the front of the guard since the opening is so small on Glocks

Open guns are kind of a different animal with them being designed around major PF ammo. They are like comparing a stock corvette to a corvette built for Le Mans. Same car (kind of) but completely raced out. Cool in their own way though!

Difference between metal and polymer M&P is subtle. It gives a little more weight to the frame, but the recoil impulse seems almost identical - the polymer flexes a bit more to absorb shock while the metal frame has a bit more weight. Hard to go wrong with either unless we find out down the road that these metal frames crack or something under heavy use.

@@MagDumpGuns good to know, I have the 2.0c and 5 inch/fullsize, both with Apex triggers 👌

I’m commenting while I watch and I agree that I hate you have to send your gun back for everything. I wanted a threaded barrel and I had to send back the entire gun for it so I just didn’t get one

@@EazyTheRecon not to mention the price of the threaded barrel for a Staccato, they are up there!

I feel the same with my 48 it’s perfect for edc no printing less weight but I do feel like if shtf id prefer it the day im carrying my 19x but I train with both im more then capable of handling business with the 48 its just that voice in the back of your head 😂😂

Thanks!

Yes it is! I have an individual review of it posted if you’re interested.
