Came to this channel for the knowledge, stayed for the drama 😂❤

Maybe the staccatos were the friends we made along the way.

Bought two 4k guns 1 month later " I am not going to be shooting them much". Typical staccato owner

Wow, time flies, feels like the end of an era, the saga of the staccato is coming to a close. I laughed, I cried, sparks flew, emotions ran high. 10/10, would watch again.

"It's not you, it's me"

The staccato saga has been an emotional rollercoaster for me.

I am a certified staccato babysitter and I am available as needed.

For Sale: Lightly used Staccato XC and Staccato P. A little rust, only dropped a few times. Will trade for a stock Glock 47 and fuzzy dice.

This sounds like a athlete retiring due to injury lol

“I don’t want to play with you anymore.”

Langdon Tactical is doing some cool things with the PX4 Storms, and others! Would make for some interesting content, and discussion!

It's true the Staccato will soften you up. So does the Glock. That's why I stay hard and stick my black flint gun.

Oh no no no Staccato bros...we got to cocky

If your life depends on a firearm, being “stupid” easy is a huge win in my book!

“If you have a pile of money to set on fire” -Ben I bought a XC soon after you, felt like I was taking the journey with you. I totally agree. I’m not on any schedule so I will continue on this path. Best!!

Being curious makes the journey fun! You are having fun!

Really enjoyed the staccato video series. Look forward to the return.

Fair enough, glad to live in a time where Glocks and Staccatos can be the discussion. 😊

Sorry for your loss. I know these times are hard but I'm here to help. I have helped 100's of people walk away from their staccados with a very good success rate. I'll even pay postage when you send them my way.

Hi Ben. Thanks for these videos. What are your top 3 recommendations for ipsc production div guns please? To be competitive not for training.

I think everyone eventually comes back to glocks... its gravity. No escape!

It would be interesting to see you go back to the beginning with your Berettas for a month or two.

I would be interested to see how far you can take a more combat oriented pistol. Like a p226 or hk usp

I’m basically….average….basic… kinda old…59 in November. Army Infantryman in the 1980s. I keep everything simple…like myself. Glock 19…Beretta 92….SIG P226…..Beretta APX recently. All factory guns…no upgrades…no bells…no whistles. I shoot weekly…lm mediocre…but l am competent. I keep it simple. Not broke…don’t fix. But the videos and higher end guns are cool…

As far as SA type pistols for Law Enforcement and civilian concealed carry they have many attributes and as all weapons systems they have their faults. My experience training cops in force on force was that occasionally with Single Action Pistols in the clinch the safety would not be activated and the gun would not fire. I am not talking about recruits, I am talking about experienced well trained and practiced Emergency Services (SWAT) cops many of whom have been in gunfights. I didn’t happen often, but it did happen on more than one occasion. It only seemed to happen when there was a significant physical altercation during extreme close quarters combat training. Just something to be aware that occurred in my limited sample. Be conscious and train accordingly if that’s the weapons system of your choosing or if it’s your issued weapon.🇺🇸👮🏻‍♂️👍🏻

I've been down that road. Never with Staccatos but with CZ's and 9mm 1911's for competition and ultimately went back to Glock. I think one can be neurologically fused to a specific type of gun. It's nice to have a bag of parts at a match and be able to fix something when it goes wrong, though it's only been once for me with Glocks (too high a tension recoil spring for powder puff loads may have been swapped in a porta-potty; someone did that once, not saying it was me). Fantastic plastics are simple and reliable. Nothing wrong with that. Carry on.

If Joel wants a challenge tell him to go back to his Original Ruger P 89 he use to use 😂

More money than brains ! Congratulations

What determines which gun you’re shooting for your classes? Is it what the class is focused on? Example Leo training, and that department carries glocks?

Talking about belt set-ups are you going to be showing your set-up for the Staccato ?

I am about to receive a new 2024 Staccato C model. My initial shooting with one was flawless, absolutely superior to any of my Glocks in terms of precision accuracy. Been a Glock guy for 3+ decades and currently use a Glock 45MOS and Glock 19MOS with upgrades. My general feeling is that Glocks will handle extreme environments better but I generally reserve that assertion for Gen 1 through 4 as the Gen 5 trigger change doesn't seem to fight off elemental fouling so well. As such, I generally consider the Staccato C and Gen 5 Glocks on par with one another in EDE testing. Staccatos are excellent and premium which if you want a do-all beater gun that is proven, you can buy a few Glocks of different models and still be happy.

What holster did you use for the P? Just bought your book and I want to start my dry fire practice

I think your take is about the msot accurate. Nice guns are nice, they arent necessary, but they are nice. I think alot of people miss the plot with that and have to justify evey last things existance. If you have the cash to splash just buy what you want haha

Great video, it would be cool if you did a new drip test video with the staccato but with stronger firing pin spring

I agree with the XC "softening you up".....OPEN guns did that for me over the years and going back to Limited .40s was hard......its the same with 9mm Staccatos, they soften up my major caliber shooting but since no one wants to shoot Major anymore, why bother....? 😁 Im still just a Limited shooter at heart....

I usually stay with my P226 and P229 lineups because they keep my trigger discipline on check. With my 2011s/1911ds, I feel I can get sloppy and get away with it. So... I always fight on "do I switch to an easy gun or keep fighting the DA/SA mechanics. Any opinions?

Dang I was hoping you were bringing them to class next week.

Curious about your opinion on the Laugo Alien Creator?

U ever consider training with bul armory?

Talk to me about a belt holster for the staccato p and an SRO? Can’t seem to find what I’m looking for…

the trigger and smoothness of the slide on staccatos are great, the grip and price not so much

Do you have or plan to get a Walther PDP SF match?

You should try an MPA DS9 next time around. They also claim some models are suitable for duty/LE, but I wouldn’t carry my Hybrid. She’s pretty spicy. Regardless, much better value than Staccato imo.

Thoughts on Shadow systems for competition?

I appreciate your honest review I on a couple staccatos they're highly overrated good guns which can be problematic I do have an older STI Apiero That runs excellent I have owned everything under the sun whether it runs good or not I will just say so some people will claim to love it even if it jams every time which I always thought kind of odd ha ha

I fkin love my xc

Glock love 👍🏻

Breaking up is hard to do 😂

Where do your PDP’s fit in?

are you planning to try any gucci glocks? Zev Oz9, shadow systems, custom glocks or whatever

It’s the “I’m sticking with irons” argument of gun section.

You can ship them to my FFL and I'll keep them company through August if you like...

Would you be interested in letting a subscriber borrow a Staccato for a couple of months?

If you don't want them, I'll take them. $100 each. I'll give you my FFL location if you're interested.

From Staccato back to Glock, but in .40? Hmmm?? 🤔

glock fawty king

Glad I never bought a Staccato….carried my buddies-P and CS for over a month….both were too heavy/bulky on my hip and I hated carrying…went back to my Glock 17 and Hellcat RDP…pretty much only carry the hellcat….that hellcat with a shield smsc red dot, MCarbo trigger kit, streamlight tlr 8….10/13/15 round mag carry options-amazing gun for everyday carry….i don’t trust a sig!

Atlas…this is the way.

Glock or staccato? Staccato all day long!

I’ll take the XC.

You said you will miss them. Know they will miss you as well. 😢

Boat anchor ⚓️

Glock Perfection

send them over to me.....I'll make sure they keep in use and don't rust or anything.....

Canik next!

I was waiting for that Whitney Houston song from Bodyguard to play.

Love stinks yeah yeah 😂

Someone didn’t get their check 😂

Since we are back to Glocks ….. I have an idea why don’t you try a g49 with a radian ramjet and try an enclosed dot like the Steiner MPS ….. just to test …. For shits and giggles 👀👀

Remoil stick with Glock boys to me!

Never thought I would ever hear those words. glock over Staccatto

Staccatos are pretty mid. Not surprised he leaving them behind.

thanks for being rad, teaching dope shit and fuckin with the nerds online

Left the 1911 game for a Glock clone with a 1911 style grip. The clone is literally perfect for my hand size, is much lighter, is far easier to clean and maintain, and with a subtle built in thumb ledge is easier to shoot fast. Timney trigger with a JohnnyGlocks trigger shoe and the thing is amazing. Will I go back to the 1911, probably not.

Awww ya got my click you bastard

Well this is probably too much and I’ll probably regret the investment but I’ll give you 20 American pesos for the XC, I’ll even pay shipping.

Placebo effect

Back to Glocks

Ben, have you ever removed the “hump” from one of your glocks? Or shot one that had it done? I prefer it but I wonder what your impression is.

They are just like girl friends - easy come easy go. You had the GFE, now it's time to get back to your ride-n-die chick - Glock.

Quitter😂

It's not too late to change your mind, Ben!

😳

I found out about your channel from Tacticool Girlfriend and i'm so grateful that I have, you've really made me want to get into competitive shooting (I'm 35 so i doubt i'll be winning anything & i'm in NJ to make matters even worse) but because of you I don't feel like I have to get "the best most expensive xyz" to be good. I'm buying a copy of Adaptive Rifle and Practical Shooting Training and looking for a decent belt set up and going to start practicing dry fire with a snap cap in my M&P 2.0 until I can afford a decent red dot. I'm sure in your long history of videos you have plenty of advice for newer shooters but if you see this just know I hope to be in the next class you have in NJ if you ever make your way back out here. Also has anyone ever told you, you look like Time Heidecker? You're like a tactical Tim Heidecker.

Ultimate HiPoint > Staccato

non committal

I put my hands on a Shadow Systems MR920 the other day. Looks like ill never buy a Glock now 😂😂😂

My Staccato P was the 2nd most overrated pistol I've owned. My #1 most overrated was an ACW "Prime Elite" 1911

Nice guns, but not 4000 beans nice. Some people have more money than sense.

I do not understand the insane hype around Staccatos, I have shot two a CS and a XC and It was the most underwhelming handgun shooting experience I have ever had, both my Beretta 92x compact and PX4 compact shoot smoother and my Springfield armory mil-spec 1911 has a better trigger. Maybe I shot two bad examples but I don't see the cost to value proposition in them

Who asked

So end of the day, there’s nothing about Staccato’s design that make them any more ready for duty-use then your typical quality-made Series 70 1911. Just marketing BS.

Love means never having to say you’re sorry.

This dude is a drama doosh. Just out here trying to grow his shit channel.

Staccatos are gay
