Having shooting my new xc, P and the atlas nemesis i actually prefer the xc. I feel personally it checks all boxes between carry and competition. I guess im a loser because i choose to run irons and enjoy the challenge but to each their own😅. Nice coverage on the guns tho.
@hammerarmament15 күн бұрын
Ultimately, everyone has to make their own choices based on their needs/desires but hopefully this video serves to help guide them, rather than take my opinion as gospel. The XC checked those same boxes for me for a several years and it is such a fun pistol that you can’t really go wrong with it. There are enough areas of my own shooting skill that challenge me though and I prefer not to add iron sights to that list. More power to ya for sticking with the “old ways”. 😉

Yeah that seems a bit light. If that’s the only gun you shoot, you get used to it. Especially if you are putting in a lot of practice. Jumping between guns with different trigger weights makes it a bit trickier. I’ve gotten pretty used to my atlas trigger with practice. HD is a maybe But I still wouldn’t feel comfortable carrying with it that light.

Good info but one thing, the standard P is a 4.45” barrel, the older 2019 and newer Heritage Ps (with full length dust covers) are 4.15”. Doesn’t make a ton of difference but that’s at least what they advertise. That said, I’d love an Atlas but it’s hard to justify the difference in cost, I have a P I use in 3 gun and a new C on the way, those are hard pills to swallow pricewise but they shoot so much better than the next step down that I’ve felt they are the sweet spot for price/performance or as you said, the laws of diminishing returns.

This whole "argument" over thumb rests is silly at best. Its like telling someone how they should like their steak cooked. To me, if a gun feels comfortable in your hand, chances are you're going to shoot it better. I have a few guns that came with a rest (CZ TSO,TSO2, and a Sig P226 X5 Legion) so they still have a factory slide stop, and the thumb rest fits the gun better than just throwing a aftermarket rest on.
@hammerarmament27 күн бұрын
I think the problem exists where people are being led to believe that it will give them a performance improvement. But it’s really not that cut and dry. It *may* lead to an improvement in recoil control, especially if you have a poorly developed grip. But it isn’t necessary and also comes with drawbacks. Comfort is certainly subjective but I don’t find that the rest was any more comfortable than not having it at all. More power to ya if you did. But it isn’t a given that it will be more comfortable or will give you better performance. Most people will be better off simply focusing on improving their grip fundamentals and spending more time practicing.

@hammerarmament29 күн бұрын
I see where you are coming from, but going slow won’t help you get faster. Think of it this way: do race car drivers prep for a race by making slow corners around a parking lot? Or do they practice at high speed on the track? If you want to speed up, you gotta speed up and learn what that feels like. And pay attention to what breaks down. From there you can back off the speed slightly to a controllable level again, but you don’t want to go too slow and cause regression. In this case, I was trying to push reload times lower than .90 seconds shot to shot( never made it btw but did get close). “Slowing down” to 1.00 or 1.10 second is about as much as I’d want to go. The basic progression goes like this: start off at what I’m capable of for a bit, then push the speed. If the wheels fall off, try and notice why and back off a tad until consistency comes back. Then push speed again while making corrections. Rinse, repeat as needed. The purpose of the video is just to show that the process isn’t all successes. If you want to get better, you will fail along the way. And sometimes that’s funny.

Ei.. men nice vid and good comparison. There is one video that ive watched, and he said why u have to choose Altas oves Staccato is the fact that Atlas is hand fitted pistols and Staccato is mass production, he also mention thats Staccato will wear off faster. And if it wears off faster then you endin up buying parts or another pistol. Where Atlas pistols have longers life span before it wears off, Specialy when you compete. So why buy staccato where u can put a bit more to purchase the Atlas .
@hammerarmamentАй бұрын
That is worth considering and I did address this at the 07:48 mark. But…it also should be noted that all of the consumable parts (springs etc) essentially have the same service life on both. My opinion is that even though Staccatos are “mass produced” ,they have that process nailed down pretty well to the point that it’s mostly a non-issue for most people. Both our Athena and XC are north of 16,000 rounds now and wear is pretty comparable between the 2. Other than recoil springs, nothing has needed to be replaced and they both function without issue. That said, if you are planning on putting a high number of rounds on your gun in competition (10,000 + annually) I’d suggest an atlas and that you send it in to get it serviced once a year. If you are really dedicated to competing, you’ll probably want 2 so you have a spare (or a match gun and a training gun). If you have a tighter budget, you can still get really far with a Staccato P. Again, practice will make a bigger difference than just the gun. If you are planning on very high round counts on a gun and you are looking at the P, I would steer you towards the steel frame version. I have heard of some of the aluminum frame models breaking after 10,000 rounds. This is anecdotal, of course, but something to be aware of.

I mentioned that in the video but edited it out for time savings. That is the more logical comparison, but I’ve been asked about these guns a lot.

@hammerarmamentАй бұрын
@@johngreen220 good question. That actually will be a topic of an upcoming video. But the gist of it is that I prefer separate rather than sidecar. We did make sidecar holsters for a small period of time but no longer do. Individual pieces is a bit more versatile in my opinion, and can work in a greater variety of circumstances. It’s easier to scale up or down when they are separate for example. We will go into further detail in a future video.
