I was a Sig/HK/CZ Guy and my Staccato P has become my ‘goto’ firearm. The fit and finish is impeccable and it is an amazingly flat shooting pistol. On top of an Amazing Firearm- they have some of The Best Customer Service/Support I have ever encountered.

I had my share of various 1911s, 320s, 365s and CZs. After shooting the P I ended up selling all of the other guns and now have a P, C2 and C. They shoot great, very reliable and now I have 100% consistency across the house for any defensive situation. I'll know I've lost it and have $$$ to burn when the XC shows up in the safe.

I just bought one these guys were great and had very competitive prices

TGE is an awesome operation. The people are great and the facility is also. We bought the P aluminum and it is a great shooter.

Love my Staccato P.

Appreciate the insight on the aluminum vs steel as I'm looking at one of these right now. Your channel should have a lot more subscribers. Just added one!

It is the best handgun out there. I carry the P somedays and the C2 for duty My duty glock that is issued collects dust in my gun cabinet. Anybody in central Missouri would like to shoot one, let me know

That is a must have gun!

Absolutely love my Staccatto P! It’s a great duty PDW, super accurate, and well fitted for my hand. This is my first non-striker/glock pistol. Also my first 1911/2011, which won me over to this platform. I only wish I went with the DOU/DPO, which I will have to find a way to get an optic cut on my current model. Next 2011 I purchase will be the Triarc.

I would avoid Triarc, quality control is weak with them. And their 2011s are poorly fitted.

I just got done watching the TRI-11 video and I’ll tell you what.. I am in love with both Staccato P and the TRI-11 but with my skill level, I don’t know if it will matter which one I pick up, I’m still closer to a basic level shooter comparing to those who go shoot weekly or more than once a week. If I had to pick one, I’d pick the staccato cuz I’m honored and privileged to qualify for their heroes program and it’s more affordable to me in that matter. Great review and I think after watching this review, I’ll probably pick up the aluminum model if I ever decide to splash that much cash on a handgun.

awesome choice!

The main issue I have with these pistols is the fiber optic front sight. For a duty pistol tritium nights are not only preferable but an absolute necessity. Other than that I like every feature especially the Tac grip.

I’ve always been a Glock guy owning a few from 45. .40 & now 9mm with a G19x as my EDC & I said I would never switch yet this gun has me on the fence. I love the mag capacity & the functionality. I’ve owned a Rock island 1911 in 9mm for a short while & I want to return to the dark side.

Let's be real, the dark side has cooler toys. If you get a chance to shoot one, you need to try it. A bit more in weight compared to your Glocks, but way smoother. Thanks for watching

I love mine 🥳🥳🥳 300%

Thanks for a informative video, I am trying to decide between a P and a C2. I carry appendix and want to make sure the P would not be too heavy or too long. Any information regarding appendix carrying a P would be great.

@texasgunexperience5096

2 жыл бұрын

A good holster from LAS Concealment, Tier 1 Concealed etc, will make is plenty easy to carry appendix. The only thing you need to conceal is the very end of the grip, so I wouldn't run one of the enlarged magwells. A good belt will help as well, I typically carry a 4" 2011 with a light, optic and spare mag, appendix. A good belt and holster will alleviate any weight concerns.

Trying to decide between this Aluminum P or a C2 for EDC and competition. Currently carry and compete with a G19 with an SRO, so I know the grip is a tad longer and a bit more weight but if it shoots noticeably better than the C2, it would be worth the effort. Thanks!

@texasgunexperience5096

Жыл бұрын

I think when you start stringing shots together and start working reloads etc, the P would be more friendly towards competition. If you are truly looking for the dual carry/comp role, I would suggest the P. The C2 is a phenomenal carry gun, but you would still be competing against guys with much larger purpose built race guns.

Do you prefer the aluminum to the steel? I had a steel frame staccato P and loved it but sold it because I didn’t get the optic ready one. I wonder what frame most LE agencies choose. My old department was Glock-only.

Rule #1 Forums are a dangerous place... lol If I had to do it all over again, I would purchase the aluminum frame. The combination of how these are sprung (heavy hammer spring), heavy barrel and polymer frame are what make these soft shooters. Adding extra weight in the frame or grip is not needed, especially when considering this is a hot rod Duty /carry gun and not a dedicated race gun. The aluminum is noticeably lighter and preferred if carrying around all day. You will be very happy with your purchase.

Hard to quantify that; it would really depend on round counts through the guns. Even dumb stuff factors on new guns like if one was cleaned or not would make a difference. If there is a difference, it isn't a large enough one to base a purchase on
