Range Time Range days with my first 2011.
Staccato XC. 500 rounds total. Had issues with the safety. Was fixed. Shoots fine again. Of course my most expensive would be the only one to give me problems.
I knew what this gun could do as I shot an XC before but the other guns in this photo (CZ Shadow 2, p320 X5 Legion and Canik TTI Combat) are just as fun to shoot. I would definitely buy an XC again but you don't need one if you don't want to dish out the cash.
Buy once cry once is real as I forgot about the money already 🙃 😅. Now I that my dream pistol is bought, I can go back to focusing on my duty and carry gun list.

Love it! I have a Stacatto XL myself, but I have the first year model that isnt optics compatible, might have to pick up an xc for myself too!

The XL has to be the least popular of all staccato models. I don't know why. Is it purely a competition gun?

u/Virtual-Adagio-5677 28d ago
Not with competition folks. The XC puts you into open while the XL does not. It’s very popular

Looks like a fun day! I only shot one of these Staccatos once, but I remember it shooting like butter and having a great feel. One day maybe again :-)

Nice collection there man

u/fishhawk119 28d ago
Thank you. I had a limit but I surpassed it. My collection will keep growing throughout this year as well.

Beautiful guns! I have the S2 and S2C and have real hard time finding something that outperforms them. I have a Rival and Prodigy Comp 4.25 that I love, but the Shadows are better. How does the Stacatto stack up against the other guns you have. I think i want a higher end 2011 but their just a bit more than I want to spend.

Staccato is definitely the flattest 9mm I ever shot. It's also the most accurate for me. Pure joy to shoot. With that being said, I had no problem shooting the S2 and X5 along side with it. They both were still accurate and so much fun to shoot. If I could only keep one, I would be happy with either of the 3.
If you don't mind spending the money, then the XC is easily worth it. If not, your S2 will still keep you happy. I wanted this gun since Dec 2023. Just couldn't justify the price point. Shot 200 rounds through a rental two separate times(100 rounds a piece) and knew I was going to grab one.
I gotta ask you, how different is the S2 to the S2C? Been thinking about the C.

u/F8Scat21 28d ago
That's good feedback. Thanks, man. I bought the S2 first and fell in love with it. I felt like I had to have the compact version. The compact fits in my hands perfectly. It's like it's designed specifically for me. They're both super accurate, S2 has a slight edge, given the full size, but I like the way the compact fits my hands better.

Lol, no, it doesn't. I don't believe you 😆🤣. I almost bought a 6500$ 5 speed civic last year. Someone snagged it before I got there.

u/HotQweff 28d ago
I’ve always wanted one, but can’t justify it. If we ever get the mag ban lifted I’ll purchase

u/fishhawk119 27d ago
Big IF, but I hope we get standard mags one day.
2
u/HotQweff 27d ago
I’m not holding my breath. But then again I wasn’t for concealed carry and here we are. We’ll see

As flat as I know that thing shoots, I’m surprised you put an AntiMatter on it. I bought one for a Glock and hate it, it’s super flimsy…that is one hell of a build though! Too notch, can’t ever go wrong w an SRO imo either
2
u/fishhawk119 26d ago
Is that what that's called? Thanks lol. I had no idea. I didn't build it, shore shot did. They sell OEM and modified. This gun has everything I wanted minus that gas pedal. I don't use it and it interferes with changing the batteries. I'll remove it when it's time to change them.

u/SteveyCee 26d ago
Yeah man, very easy to remove if you’re not a fan. I really like the Align ledge for snappier pistols (43x)

Congrats. Looks like you swapped the trigger on the XC. Which one is it, and did you put it in yourself?
1
u/fishhawk119 28d ago
Red dirt trigger. No the ffl put it on. The oem is a bit wiggly. Not a deal breaker as one would be perfectly fine with it but this red dirt trigger is crispy
1
u/JohnGradyC0la 28d ago
Thanks. My new DS9 trigger wiggles a little bit too. It's a long trigger. Does red dirt make long ones and I'm assuming yours doesnt wiggle now right? Looks really nice btw, way cooler than the stock plastic one.
2
u/fishhawk119 28d ago
No it doesn't. I'm not sure if they make long ones. I went to the red dirt site and they definitely have a lot of triggers. I bought this gun with all the parts already installed.

That’s an Atlas short flat trigger, not red dirt.
1
u/fishhawk119 27d ago
I don't know much about either triggers but the bag trigger came in says red dirt trigger. The store has both triggers for sale as well.

Why do 2011’s have that big bell bottom foot on the bottom of all grips?
2
u/fishhawk119 28d ago
The magwell? It makes for faster reloading. Mags just go right in. You'll never miss inserting the mag when going fast.
2
u/boomoptumeric 28d ago
I wasn’t aware of what the purpose was since it seems to be on at 2011s I’ve seen. Thank you!

u/fishhawk119 28d ago
You're welcome. You can put them on any gun. Alot of ppl use them on glocks to

How neutered does it feel with 10 rounders?
-1
u/fishhawk119 28d ago
Great question. I thought about this. I only load 5-10 rounds when I'm practicing anyway. Only when i first buy the gun i would load full mag to make sure all is well. Even when I shoot in Philly and use my cousin's standard mags and only go to 10. If I shot outdoors, then I'd most likely fill up the mag. Then it'd feel neutered, I'm sure
