Dude in a video I was watching made the comment, 1911 and 2011 manufacturers got people paying thousands of dollars for a gun built on a 113 year old design. That got me thinking, if I'm going to spend 5k on a pistol for idpa, I may go with the alien creator evolution. Its the newest handgun tech.

NEW SUBSCRIBER helping you grow

My doodie gun is a Hi Point.💩👀

Maybe you want to take a less expensive gun 4,300 dollars and roll in the mud as oppose to a 6000 dollar gun lol

Brother, everything on the Atlas is hand fitted. Everything!

Alot of talk and excuses….

My P has zero play that I can feel.

High power? Its 5.56. Great carbine i carried the 551 sp swat for several years on duty. Loved it.

I've seen way less malfunctions from the XC and I've seen it consistently outshoot the atlas and sandviper.... just saying

How much can I buy one of these thing for

Stacatto is designed for duty. The P and XC, the C, while Atlas is set up to be a race gun. I have a P and use it for EDC. I have an Atlas Titan, an excellent sleeper gun seeing how it is the Atlas bargain offering. The Efebus, which is wormhole fast. And finally, a Hayes Cobra and Nighthawk TRS Comp. Those are my babies. As good as Atlas is, the Hayes is faster, better, smoother, flatter, and faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

High skill but high power

Good video man. Informative. I just bought a Watchtower Apache (think Stacatto XC) and am probably going to pick up an Athena V2 over the summer. Both guns I'll run the hell out of and put 10,000 rounds through each in next year. I don't shoot competitively, but just damn love to shoot and shoot fast. Thanks for the great content!

My staccato p has the same movement u just showed

Do you think that flashlight on the Athena helps reduce muzzle flip at all ?

Really it boils down to do you want an aluminum grip module or plastic?

Xc is not a duty gun, but some people use it for that.

bro, you put all this time into a video and haven't shot it yet? i subd but comeon.

The xc is not a duty gun lol .yes I'd take the xc over the atlas for duty use but that does not make the xc a duty gun let's get that clear .

my P doesn't wobble

Just received my CS and it’s nothing like the Staccato presented here. At least for how tight it is in regards to slide fitment. You can not rock the slide at all. Tbh it’s a bit impressive for $3k when the comparison gun is $6k.

I liked my XC but sold it after getting an Erebus and Artemis. Really no comparison between them. I even did a Cheely grip and trigger on my XC.

I have both and I agree. I love both but my XC is my guy all DAY. Thanks Keep making your videos and get your sub base up bro!

"sir you cant buy this chips for 5 dollar-"

With all due respect, why make a comparison if you haven’t shot the gun?

Awesome video! My P is so tight you’d think it’s one solid piece of metal. I have noticed the aluminum frames have looser tolerances than steel. Good shit!

Thanks Josh, keep cussing… looking forwards to range video.

So this is a comparison on s gun u haven’t shot. Smdh. Wow. Thanks a lot. D A

I'm glad I found this video after I bought my XC. I probably would not have bought it and missed out on how bad ass this pistol is. It is by far the best looking and best shooting pistol I have ever owned. I love it and have won competitions with it. You have a good review but it is very subjective. I haven't experienced any of the things you have mentioned. Your plusses are plusses for me and your negatives are not negatives for me. I will shoot an Artemis soon to see what the hype is about, but it will have to absolutely blow me away to get me to even consider selling the XC.

You must of got the new XC with the duty style trigger weight. The older ones had the 2lb trigger pull. You might want to check out the Phoenix Trinity H Tac.

Great video showing some differences between the two! Would like to see your thoughts on how they shoot after you’ve shot the Atlas. I will say that I was a little surprised when you were able to have slight play on the XC’s slide. Made me go grab mine and check and mine did not have any play

Enjoyed the video. Regarding Atlas, they are considered a production shop rather than a custom shop because they offer a fixed set of models with a fixed set of options and don't fully customize to the buyer's desires; however, they do spend about 20 hours per pistol hand-fitting. This video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4nOln1_Zpd8bc0) is worth watching in its entirety, but at about 5:13 they mention the amount of hand-fitting they do. When you take it apart, you'll also see that the frame, slide, barrel, guide rod, guide rod plug, and slide stop, at a minimum, all have the gun's serial number - I presume this is to keep the fitted parts together as they move from station to station (since they aren't a one gun, one gunsmith shop like Nighthawk). Keep up the good content!

Nice preliminary video prior to range time and looking forward to see how they compare shooting wise. Comp'd vs non-comped. And is the price point or variance between the two - justifiable?

Sweet

Was that anAR9?

It's a damn fireball launcher as well

Are you the Hudson H9 guy? Any idea on how I can get a new firing pin!?

What they tell you?
