OUNCES, lol.

Great review! And I appreciate the comparisons to the G19, because it is such a known standard. Thanks

Great review as usual. My LGS has a rental, you made me reserve a lane for tomorrow!! A side note, you do some of the best in depth, unbiased reviews I watch (and I watch a lot before I buy). I cant believe your not well over 100k subs!! I tell all my gun folk about the channel! Keep up the great work.

Nice review. I picked up both the Staccato C and P when they first came out. All I can say is I ended up keeping both. I like the holster that came with the C and feel it carries very well, but at first, aftermarket holster options were slim, especially if you wanted a light bearing one. I find takedown to be super simple. My very first outing I ran 500 rounds ranging everything from 115 up to 165 gr. This gun is crazy accurate for me and honestly surprised me at how nicely it managed recoil. Long story short, if you want it, just buy it and you wont be upset.

Hey ks ! Love the review , again im intrigued..... i do love your pre vid shenanigans, please bring those back !

Excellent review KS... That one is a beauty, hopefully I will add one to the family someday soon!

Love it, grip safety for my right hand must be mindful how its held but left feels more natural. Called them about the sharp trigger guard and the technician said to sand it down or scrap the edge off and use a little oil on the area after doing so. That fixed the uncomfortable grip edge for me. thanks

Lol 25 pounds that seems pretty light!

Good review. I am looking at picking up one of these!

I have that very same 10mm Rock. Can’t wait for your review.

Love your videos definitely subscribing. The 25 lb caught me by surprise at first LOL

I'm in love 😍 just bought one!

Hey KS I have an sti marauder and have experienced some similar discomfort while shooting. I adjusted my grip to keeping my strong hand thumb on the safety while shooting. Great video and I look forward to the staccato p review.

Just received mine. Can’t wait to take it to the range.

I do not have any experience with this brand, but enjoy getting your perspective on guns that I don't have experience with as well as the ones that I do.

I shot the Staccato today. It just so happens that my local range has one in the rental counter. Although it’s very nice, for $1000 less I prefer my Sphinx SDP and I have 17 +1. Thank you so much for the video and cheers!

Great review! I have one as well, I've only put 500 rounds through it. It has impressed me enough to become my edc. A bit pricey, but very nice.

A gun reviewer that keeps his face off the camera?? I’m in! Great review

I’ve got the edge and love it. Sti make nice stuff

just bought mine. put 160 rounds through it.....in love. most accurate pistol I've ever shot

Nice review and a really nice firearm. I always wanted a 1911 styled 9mm. I think you got me sold.

Great video! Greetings from Argentina!

Thanks for he review! I’d love to see STI’s double stack carry options reviewed. I have to say that for such a refined gun it’s disappointing that the grip safety is chewing up your first web space. Gorgeous 1911 though.

I have the STI C, as an EDC. Shooting is very pleasant, as you stated POA-POI which is very accurate. it has a bit of a bite when riding high on the grip, but that is ok with me as long as the rounds hit where I want them.

Nice review of a top shelf gun. The price puts it way outside our budget but you have viewers who can afford. I do believe the 2011 concept has merit especially as polymer and aluminum are being used. Double stack, 1911 trigger and reduced weight - all positives.

Wow, that is one delicious pistol brother. As you said, the video probably doesn't do it justice but it sure looks amazing! Hope you are having a great weekend!

My Staccato C is fantastic. 800 rounds so far with zero issues. Its a very soft shooting pistol.

Nice review. Thanks. I have 600 rounds through my Staccato C so far. It feeds everything, is wonderfully accurate, and the 2.5 pound trigger is as nice as the trigger on my Nighthawk T4. The biggest problem so far is finding a good OWB holster to fit, as the trigger guard shape and the rail present some challenges. It comes with an IWB holster that is good quality, but I prefer OWB leather. George at One In The Chamber Gear made a very nice holster for me, and Lobo Gun Leather is making another one. Great shooting gun, but not quite enough to replace my Dan Wesson ECO for everyday carry.

I love my Staccato C. Only a few weeks old, I'm approaching 1000 rounds. Shoots any type of ammo. Can use almost any magazine, though I have read some earlier models didn't like some magazines. Even cheaper Metalform mags work fine. The left side thumb safety does tend to dig into the thumb, but a pair of tactical gloves removes the pain, and maybe moving the thumb off the top of the safety will also help. Field stripping is unique; no tiny hole for the paperclip, and the double recoil springs make extracting and reinstalling the guide rod assembly a chore. But the more you field strip the easier it becomes. The Staccato has replaced by 1911 Officer .45acp as my carry gun. And for a "Commander" size pistol it shoots as well as my 5" 1911s.

I've recently picked up a Staccato C2 DPO, and C DPO. I was a big fan of the Wilson EDCX9, but they lagged behind on the threaded barrel and RMR setup. The Staccato DPO is good to go with RMRCC and their limited edition came with a threaded barrel. I shot all three today and quite frankly while the EDC X9 feels the best in the hand, I shoot the Staccato C the best. I want a consistant presentation across my guns now, so I think the C model for concealed and the C2 for range / supprssor work will be the most consistent. Unfortunately I think the EDCX9 is going to have to find a new home.

A work of art, but my shovels don't need gold trim. My used VP9 is shooting dime sized groups at 7yrds. It does look better than Wilson's EDCX9, but both are 1% rich people guns. Great review. Thanks for sharing.

Gotta love Centerfire! Such a great range

Just saw Honest Outlaw's review. Question: Are the magazines proprietary since it's a 2011 or can take Wilson Combat mags?

Typically great review. A dream gun for me. But considering the price, the CZP10C fills the niche just fine for the moment.

Awesome video🇺🇸🕺🏿Did you have to take the slide off to clean the grease off the gun before shooting it❓Heard it wouldn't shoot well if you don't clean the grease off pretty good.

@ksgunguy does this except compact 9mm 1911 magazines? Like the wilson 8 rounders?

I like the gun it’s a beauty but I went with the EDCX9 in reverse two tone it’s a shooter for sure

Lmfao "Cover all Carry Gun weighing in at a 26 pounds!" Hahaha Thank You KS I needed the laugh!

Great review. It would be great to see a review of the Wilson Combat EDC X9. I think with the extra capacity it is a winner.

Dang that’s one nice looking carry pistol, I like it.

Nice review! My take, I'm sure it shoots great and looks cool, but not enough gun for the money. Capacity, sights, and pain points need to be dehorned out. But to each their own 😁

this now became collectors item

Just watched the live feed from Wednesday. I can't wait for the P320 x compact video to drop

Just bought the C. Loved everything about it. If someone wants capacity get the P. This was intended for an EDC not a duty firearm. That being said. The red fiber optic that came with mine is bright. I had not problem rapid firing 20 yards two in the chest one in the head. I carry two extra mags $45 a piece. Adjust the trigger and get a crisper shorter break and reset. Yes the slide release is awkward but I have adjusted to releasing the side with my support hand on the reload. The only thing I would change is the slide release. Dawson Precision will be doing milking for customers that want to have an optic plate. Run a couple boxes of +P to loosen the recoil spring and check out the slide. If you think it’s glass now? Is it a $1500 gun..? You bet. IMHO yes it’s the best carry gun. Of course that is up to the person shooting. If you have $600 more to spend and want more upgrades get the DVC Carry HOST. That’s my review on top of your review

Hey ks dose your pinky dangle when you grip this gun? Do you think ots better to go with the 16 round version of this gun?

Cool grip texture as it looks good...Nice detailed info....A bit pricey but they say you gotta pay to play....Above my pay grade....Good stuff....

I agree about the takedown. I own a STI Guardian in 45 and it is absolutely my best shooter, but the take down is a pain - the little plastic piece will fit in both directions and only one direction will work, it is not marked so it becomes confusing, plus trying to install it with the slide off the frame is a lesson in finger strength trying to compress the spring. But, that being said, I am going to pick up this beauty as STI makes a great gun.

Nice Review Brother! I personally hoped it would be a tad bigger. Carry on

It's inevitable that when you get a new gun you're going to disassemble it at some point. When you do turn on the camera. If you happen to struggle a bit, edit it down to an acceptable time frame. I think it would have been interesting to see a take down of this weapon. Gr8 vid as usual. 🔫

This gun definitely interests me. Just not sure if there is a holster market that justifies the purchase.

A lot like the Springfield 1911 RO compact. Of course this does have more features so of course it reflects in the price, but...does it shoot better?

Can the Staccato C slide mount a red green dot sight?

are there more affordable 1911 pistols near that size range for less than $1000?

That is one heavy pistol!

I remember some weapons I fired in the Army that were 25 lbs.. They did carry well 😆

I had a STI rangemaster in 9mm that couldnt go a box of 50 124 fmj when i first got it. New recoil spring fixed that as Long as i kept it clean'ish. Great gun but its a huge price tag

Is it worth getting the c2 ? Stuck between that or the c.

Did you swap out the red fiber optic to green? I believe these are shipped with a red fiber optic......what I’m seeing at least.

I wonder how it compares to Wilson combat EDCX9 other than half the price.

That rock island 10mm is going to be sweet... occasionally though i've had people tell me they had problems

The grip looks like it'll leave something to be desired. How is the comfort at the range if you were using the gun to do drills?

NICE! I like ithat a lot.

Super review. I just picked up the Sig Xcarry compact and I'm trying out the Mossburg MC1SC as a carry option!

I just bought it and went to the range. I also have an Escort and single stack Hex. This a great gun. Not a hiccup with 200 reds. One issue. Very difficult to dro a mag with tactical reload. It will loosen up but grip is thick enough you have to twist pistol radically to reach release. Poor design STI. Love gun but this is a workaround so beware. Amazingly light and dead accurate. Very concealable. Holster included is ok but like other brands better. Glad it came though with accessory rail needs specific holster.

I am planning on buying the P

Please do a field strip, that's a very important part of a review....Thanks!

IMO the trigger is one of the lost important aspects of a firearm. This guns trigger is spot on.

Having had several custom built 1911s i have to admire the slide to frame fit, nice looking firearm. any malfunctions?

I like my C2. It's not without fault, but for a carry gun it's nice.

This Man Knows What He Is Doing I Will Be As You Side By Side Sir Grand Show From The Marksman Sir , Your Neighbor Too The North , In Canada , 😎 !

Fantastic video:) What is the difference between 1911 and 2011?

I seen this gun when you let honest outlaw use it and that thing was driving nails at 50ft

Excellent review, bro! Definitely do a follow-up after you get comfortable with it. I wouldn't worry about the few sharp edges, since it is a carry gun and for the two or three shots you might ever need to defend yourself...who cares. I know you were in a rush to get this out with me and quite a few others, who kept pestering you about it...only cuz, we love your reviews (no one is more detailed)...even STI's own commercial pales by comparison. I know, you don't want to take it down due to KZfaq's Nazi's, but perhaps, a snapshot of the insides? As for price, it's still cheaper than my Dan Wesson Valor (9mm Commander-size). Btw, the 25.6 lb model is reserved for John Wick...press a button and a tripod pops out, the chamber rotates and a .50 BMG barrel extends out....

The Staccato P is now out. Double stack. With or without the H.O.S.T. cut for an optic. $1999 and $2499 The WC EDC X9 is around $2895 and you don't get the option for the optic cut. And it's $50 more for ambi safety. Thanks for the review.

I don't own a staccato yet. I DO own an STI GUARDIAN 45ACP. Regarding your problem with take down. The "two plastic" pieces are really one, and an extra one. Don't use both at the same time. "If" it takes down like mine, (I'm pretty sure it does) when you fit ONE of the inserts, it comes apart and goes together very easy. If you don't use them, you can field strip easily, but putting it back together is a work out for your fingers as you have to over power the dual recoil springs during reassembly.

Love the Rock island!

Anyone know if this gun will accept the standard 10 round 9mm mags?

I’ve been looking for something new to carry and that looks great but for a 2011 I expected higher capacity, considering the size anyways. Not a fan of ambi safeties on 1911s either so the search continues You mentioned your struggle while on the range, it’s frickin awesome when you shoot so many different firearms you get to complain about that stuff ain’t it? I buy all the time and even a bad range day with 1 firearm, doesn’t mean it’s bad with all the others. Just make sure to take a shadow 2 along or something else super accurate to get that confidence back

Great video! That is o e sexy gun, way to rich for my blood

I normally use my support hand to run the slide release on a 1911

Hk45 lem or sti staccato c if you could only have one ?

Both single actions look GREAT !!!!! Thanks !!!!!! I like the full rails . RE: take down , one of the many things I like about SIGs .

This gun looks amazing and STI makes excellent stuff. However, for the capacity you get with the STI it is kind of low. If one wants to carry SAO, the P01 Omega with the safety installed gives you double the capacity. Now the Staccato P has my interest!

hi do they have this in 45 cal hi cap?

Holding the Staccato up next to a Glock is like parking an Aston Martin DB11 next to a Kia.

For an Executive EDC, the Wilson Combat EDC X9 is THE BEST, but also the most expensive, but since we are talking executives here. If I had the money I would not hesitate on the Wilson Combat.

Seems really expensive for a polymer grip 2011. Looks like a nice gun but should probably come down to about the $800 mark

" Executive" = Rich$$$$ ...nice weapon!

Love this gun!!! Except the grip safety 👎🏻 Still thinking about getting it.

Great review! Been waiting for one for this baby, even though I already bought it lol just haven't shot it. If you get your hands on the staccato P please review because that's going to be my next purchase!

Damn! You would think cops would know what constitutes a pistol!

If it a single stack then how is it a 2011?

For me, I think it seems like a nicely made gun that shoots well out of the box, but the price point for a defensive gun is high. A Glock 19, Sig or M&P are priced better for defensive carry guns. $1,400 is pricey to lose in a defensive shooting investigation should that ever happen. I have two identical G19’s with the same sights for defensive purposes so if I had to hand one over to LEO for investigation purposes, I still have one. But that’s just me. For competitive shooting, $1,400 makes more sense. Even spending money on a good 1911, I would not have a problem but just not for purely defensive use. Good review as always

its very close to the Wilson EDC X9 which also carries 15 rds

I thought "2011" meant doublestack higher capacity version of a 1911?

A 1500 buck 9mm? Gawd... still, a good video

KS that must be flat shooting 25.6 pounds

Comments on reviews for any gun over $500 = “It’s overpriced” “It’s a tack driver” Ok, 95% of guns are pretty accurate nowadays. There’s really only a couple guns that directly compare to this gun (The optic ready duo version) So, $1500+ isn’t too bad for an optic ready 1911 9mm.

Do the staccato p please!

Great review as always thanks. I personally dont care for 1911's but this was intriguing.
