Best Performance Carry Gun? Staccato C2 vs Daniel H9 vs Glock 19

Squaring off three guns at different price points to see how they perform. The Daniel Defense H9 is the new kid on the block but the Glock 19 has been around forever for a reason while the Staccato C2 is more refined option at the top of the price spectrum .
Disclosure: The H9 was a sample gun originally provided by Daniel Defense - no monetary compensation was received.

If there's one thing to take away from this video, is that your gun is probably just fine. No need for a "better" and more expensive gun.

[@joeyassyrian]

People buy expensive guns because of pride of ownership and the feeling associated with high quality stuff. I carried a 19 for about 10 years before letting it go, it's just not really enjoyable to shoot, it probably cost them $70 to produce it and you can feel it when you handle it. However, to me the Staccato is about $500-$600 overpriced, it's just a production gun no different than the shadow 2 compact.

[@HalfCrazy520]

Yeah... and do you really want to spend $2500 for YET ANOTHER 9mm pistol? I mean, seriously, I could get 2 really nice guns AND a Glock or M&P with $2500. It's not like the Staccato is going to suck you off and do your dishes.

[@TheBellman]

For me, if we take the "five yards five rounds five seconds" rule of thumb as gospel, I just don't see the point of throwing a bunch of performance at a concealed carry gun. Seems like a waste of money and energy at some point.

[@HalfCrazy520]

Reviewers talk about Glock like it’s a dead and gone platform. Good to hear how it stacks up against newer handguns.

[@AntiTankSolutions]

Because companies pay most of these reviewers to say nice things about their guns.

[@DamnManSam]

To be fair, Glock was ahead of its time in 1982. Modern polymer guns at a similar price range have better triggers, ergos and features out of the box…but for all intents and practical purposes the Glock will still get the job done, just as well as the others.

[@Osprey1994]

I don't shoot Glock, and I don't like reviewers who talk about Glock like it's impossible to shoot without modification.

[@wernervoss6357]

I've gone around in circles. I started with Glock, tried most of the other polymer guns (Sig, HK, Beretta, SA, Walther, Canik), but most of them are long gone. Some guns are a little easier to shoot, but the ease of working on a Glock, the simplicity, the readily available mags, sights and and holsters give the Glock an advantage few if any can touch. I've gotten into HKs recently, and one thing that stands out to me is how much HK makes me appreciate Glock.

[@DamnManSam]

@@wernervoss6357 There is beauty in Glocks simplicity. The aftermarket is insane, and as you say, anyone who makes holsters …has a holster for the platform. I am getting into Canik myself, but I still shoot Glock more than any other platform at the range because I have more mags 🤣 The Seals as an organization recently chose the Glock 19 as their gun. So the gun remains very relevant in important circles.

[@garyjones7370]

[@RayEvangelista70]

Great video. Very interesting results!

[@BB-yh5rd]

I have lots of pistols, had a Glock 17 every Gen since my 1992 Gen2. Have CZ, Walther, H&K, Sig, Springfield and Canik. They're all great for different reasons but my Gen 5 MOS Glock is just a solid shooter every round, every mag. Up in the mountains or tooling round with a backpack, I holster a 17 and my separable Ruger 9mm PCC on a pack I made some modifications to I can carry a pistol and a longer gun with ease, same mags, same ammo. It's kind of a huge plus for Glock that I also know is going to go bang every time. Don't see Glock going down any time soon. Was messing with a new Glock 19 at the shop the other day and I absolutely love the size. Definitely considering getting one. The more people say Glock is obsolete just seems like the more people buy them.

Great point about the skill level. I'm shooting a Glock right now, and it's definitely not the factor that is holding me back as a shooter. Aside from the performance, the 2011 platform interests me because of the thinner slide, and thicker grip for shooting. Unfortunately my budget right now needs to go towards ammo.

Been carrying my Gen4 G19 for years and have more rounds through it than any of my other guns. I got the radian ramjet/ after burner combo when it came out and haven't looked back. It shoots so flat, and im so comfortable with it. I have been going to my local pistol club's USPSA practice night weekly for a couple of months, and I run my G19. Safe to say, I have the competition bug now, and you were definitely influential in pushing my over the edge to jump into the sport.

[@mikehoncho4637]

Dude I have the exact same setup. Love it. Only thing I want is to get it cut for a red dot like my g17. I really don't understand the staccato hype. If I were to carry anything else besides my glocks it would probably be a cz p07.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

I love my full size staccatos - but this C2 is not a full sized steel framed staccato

[@BlazemanGuitarX]

Glonks are hard to beat, even harder if you throw just a little bit of extra work at them. Backstrap chop is the best cheap mod to adjust your grip angle for a dot, just need scissors and sandpaper. Different trigger shoes and the OEM minus and dot connectors are also fantastic cheap upgrades. I love the Ranger Proof Vex. For expensive upgrades, the Radian RJ/AB was super worth it.

[@javery50]

I use a heat gun and reshape them flatter.

[@ILruffian]

Agree with nearly all of this. That said, the grip reduction is less than ideal if you have larger hands. Instead of removing the hump to fix the grip angle, I really wish that there was a way to extend it. Make the hump run all the way up to the top of the beavertail. Regrettably, it's not a viable solution. I really wish that Glock would evolve and fix the grip angle. I won't hold my breath.

[@ronmartblog]

Before I owned them, I was a Glock hater and staccato fanboy. After owning a Glock 34 GEN 5 MOS and a staccato P, I got the same findings you did in this test.

[@Quantiples]

I found VERY similar results when subbing in a Sig p365 xmacro comp for the Glock. If the trigger of the H9 is lightened, I think it would win.

[@Osprey1994]

H9 needs another year of work before it can win anything. Honestly, I feel that there are guns that beat the H9, and are realiable.

[@Quantiples]

@@Osprey1994 I’d be interested in your opinions about a concealed carry gun that conceals as well as the H9 and has a smallish grip and shoots better. FWIW I’m considering going all in and buying Wilson combat SFX9. I already have one so I know how it shoots and how it feels but my wife won’t let me put an optic on it and I want an optic on mine

[@Gypsyman40]

I talk about how good the Glock is compared to the Staccato often on my channel. Cool comparison...

[@siperstein]

My H9 has 6.5-7.2 lb pull, gritty take up, not to clear to feel where it resets. Sometimes when I rack the slide the round in the chamber doesn’t come out it kind of stays there. I have to really wreck the slice forcefully in order to get that round to come out flying. On my rear site was way off to the right. I was shooting groups at 15 feet that were 3 inches to the right where I was aiming. Quality control doesn’t seem to be à la par over a $1300 gun.

[@mulder4528]

Never fired an H9. But 100% agree with the results here C2 vs Gen 5 Glock 19. Have both and so want the C2 to be the go to workhorse, it’s good but the 19 always does better for me. I’m old but it reminds me of the old Biz laundry soap commercial where it talked about doing as much for less, drives me crazy but this seems to be the case with the 19.5 vs C2. It does as much for a lot less.

[@javery50]

I recently brought my canik elite combat and g34 together to shoot back to back. I figured the canik being heavier would shoot flatter but it really wasn’t close. The Glock 34 shot nearly as tight groups but was much softer shooting and flatter. With a good set of sights on the Glock I would say it would shoot just as accurately even considering the vast difference in trigger “quality”.

@@TheHumbleMarksman Seeing as there aren't any double-stack nines on the CA roster makes them all the more rare in CA. I like them but I also like to get two fingers of my off-hand under the trigger guard and all the 1911s I've shot just don't allow for that. This modified version of Massad Ayoob's "wedge" grip absolutely transformed my pistol shooting. But I digress, my gamer-tag is "Frugal Chinese Dad" so having to shell out $4K+ to get any 2011 in CA is just appalling and antithetical to all that I stand for. I'm new to practical shooting but have settled on the P320 X5 as my comp gun(used to run a cajunized SP-01 with optics but the Sig's ergos seem perfect for me). I had a Holosun on it but the screwhead on the C&H plate sheared off and I took that as a sign from above that I should try the Dawson sights. I think that after shooting with an optic for so long that my brain is now capable of shooting with irons and still utilize target focus. Limited minor, FTW! Maybe I should just shoot my 1911 in single stack, ugh, gonna need more pouches. Funny aside, I refer to myself as the "Hannibal Lecter of Dad Jokes" as I once literally made my wife pee her pants with a dad joke...no lie.

Excellent video and a reminder that a tool is as capable as it's handler. Having switched loyalty from Glocks to Bul Armory SAS II 1911DS, I'll say that my confidence in distance shooting is so much better and I can be so much faster. You need the skills to get the advantage out of the tool. For that it was worth the money FOR ME. Porting is the biggest game changer and highly recommend, 2nd only to getting a dot on your pistol. Overall, going to the range and spending your entire time at 7yd and in is crippling your skills. Get good at 25yd and 7yd and in is cake. Don't believe me? Ask the cops in Texas church shooting where the only people that got shot.... were by the cops missing their target at distance.

[@EuropaChronicles]

Very interesting results. Definitely didn’t expect that at all. Even if you swap in a C instead of the M on the 25 yard run, the C2 still finishes last. I’ve been shooting Glocks for 20 years and haven’t ever shot a 2011, but you’d think the Staccato would have some performance advantage over a Glock. I’ve been toying with the idea of picking up a Staccato P and C2 to replace my G17 and G19 carry guns, but I really need to shoot a C2 now to figure this out.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

Staccato P is a great gun - provided you get the steel frame one. I shoot that really well - WAY better than my C2. I don’t consider the C2 in the same ballpark as the P. The P is fantastic. The C2 isn’t.

[@armorers_wrench]

I have some Caniks that I love shooting but I actually prefer the ergos of the Glock grip. I like the ledge by the takedown pins. It's almost like a built in "gas pedal" meanwhile the Caniks just have a little stippled area that isn't raised up at all and it doesn't work as well for me as the Glock ledge. PLUS--if you think about it--a perfectly functional gun that shoots good enough and isn't super expensive is perfect for daily carry. It's gonna get beat up and worn and if you have to use it you may never get it back or it may take years. I've heard stories where guys get into self defense shootings and the police hold on to their property for a very long time even in situations where the shooting was ruled justified or the prosecutor simply declined to prosecute. Once the police have your property it's often a huge pain in the ass to get it back.

[@bobbyraejohnson]

True

[@l00bt00b]

It’s so wild to think with all the guns on the market nowadays the Glock 19 still has such a stop on top of the list. The trigger sucks but the gun is somehow really shootable. Low fuss, low maintenance, reliable, and you can find them anywhere.

[@goobasippay938]

Because the trigger doesnt actually suck if you think about it. Its exactly what you would want for a defensive type of trigger on a gun without safeties. That being said, i really like the glock performance trigger.

[@joshb5719]

Gen 5 glock trigger is totally fine in my opinion.

[@armorers_wrench]

@@goobasippay938 I think the performance trigger is a perfectly safe trigger to carry with as well. It isn't overly light or anything. It just changes the mechanics of the pistol a bit. I've been carrying with the performance trigger since it was released.

[@goobasippay938]

@@armorers_wrench me too, i added a standard connector to it and its great. I prefer it over the timney trigger, apex, overwatch, johnny glocks, etc… i have put so much time and money into triggers and the GPT is truly supreme.

[@armorers_wrench]

@@goobasippay938 yeah I have one that's the completely standard GPT and one that has an overwatch precision shoe and np3 coated safety plunger. The safety plunger is a good addition but I think I'd rather have a different shoe on it. It's the flat faced overwatch precision shoe and honestly I think it makes me pull to the right more than a non flat faced trigger. The Johnny Glocks shoe might be the play or maybe the Apex.

[@motomaryland4734]

For me there is some substantial performance differences in rifles say a 2000's BCM AR15 vs a Fresh out the box Sig Spear LT. But once you shoulder them and start shooting I'm not that picky on the physical differences. Handguns are the exact opposite, there isn't THAT much performance difference between a Glock vs M&P vs 2011 vs Sig 320, however there is a huge difference in feel and for me handgun ergonomics and quality can either work for you or against you. Safe to say i have like 1-2 Work Horse AR's and close to 20K in custom handguns hahaha

[@Neomet010]

I think you hit on a great point. Don't expect to pick up a handgun built on a different platform and expect to shoot it at its best. You have to learn the platform. 100 rounds of each at a gun range where you can rent them will not tell you which you will be best with in the end.

[@emortimer5003]

I should do this with my 19 and C2, you looked kinda uncomfortable shooting that C2 for some reason. Cool content.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

It’s the least comfortable of the guns to shoot

[@rich1958]

Glock probably most reliable and not much, if any, justification to use a higher costing pistol. Glock for the win by huge margin!

[@wtfmrkratos]

It would be cool to see a set of bill drills from each one too also with hit factor scoring. I have a feeling you’d be able to work the stacatto trigger faster than the Glock, but the more 5 point hits the better, so maybe the Glock would still edge out the c2. I know that i shoot my glock way better in carry optics than I do my 2011 setup in limited optics, but that’s also because I’m more used to Glocks in general, and my 2011 setup is bone stock except for the trigger work I did to it.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

On doubles you can see me run the trigger as fast as I can

[@ThatBoyLC]

0:10 loving the Beretta Hoodie 💯

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

They make amazing clothes

[@brettkos3081]

Midway had them on sale for under 30 when I got mine

[@MojalefaMasopha]

Great video, makes it much easier on what to buy #glock19 or #glock19x

[@johnnixon2504]

I wonder how a steel frame c2 would perform against the aluminum fram c2

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

Better I’d bet

[@ocampocayo]

Good comparison… just curious why didn’t you include your actual carry gun (TP9 SC) as the hurdle…

[@S1deshowRob]

Smaller size so it would be unfairly handicapped against the compact grip sizes

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

I don’t carry that - the PX4 compact will be evaluated against the H9

[@ocampocayo]

I apologize for the confusion… other KZbinr. My mistake

[@BigSh00tsie]

Interesting that the shadow 2 compact isn't on here.

[@RimfireAddicted70]

I've had Glocks for years in different variations but by no means am I a Glock fanboy. It's just a solid tool that delivers every time I use it, nothing fancy nothing extra. I think in this case the answer is if it's your life you're betting the choice is the Glock because of reliability, price and it's track record which does make a difference. Also the savings it offers you can buy more ammo, for more practice and more training. But I understand others will not share that view and that's perfectly ok as well.

[@K-bob_45]

You shot a LEM P30L yet?

[@angelobustillos601]

My two takeaways are to stay proficient with what you choose to carry. And, your choice is personal. Where it's a Glock, Staccato, or whatever.

[@blimp930]

Agree. The best gun is the one you’re most comfortable and proficient with.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

Pretty much!

[@allamericanshooter6287]

are you shooting dif ammo out of them..... is that syntac ammo?

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

They all got the same ammo

[@Andoz777]

Sandbaging the Staccato for sure.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

Absolutely not

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

My XC is my favorite non-open gun I have - my P is still one of my favorite non-comped 2011s. I live in Texas - I desperately want the Texas brands to win at everything - it just didn’t

[@Andoz777]

Maybe the results would be different if all the tests were run with one gun at a time. You appeared to be a bit uncomfortable running each gun back to back. We're in the comment section, and I'm just a fan making a comment.

[@dabigbosss3791]

I feel like u notice the difference in uspsa because u shoot slower u can’t tell the difference but when ur trying to get those good splits and times in competition or just edc u cannot outdo a SA trigger or a staccato

[@bagel411]

I took away that practice more than the pistol would be the deciding factor across any of these.

[@wongkeebs4327]

How does the Walther Q4 SF stack up?

[@ManOfChaiTea]

Hell the walther pdp has a great trigger, shoots amazing

[@Johnblaze678]

Not having the Sig X macro on this list is crazy

[@wvlongshooter3912]

I always shot glocks straight up factory. After having a wrist injury I have had to tune them using grip tape and tungsten guide rods and a few other tricks. It’s called getting old!!! Great content!! Thanks.

[@love4gtsandguns]

😂 Bro, love the tactical shorts! Easily enhanced your move-ability.

[@AndyCigars]

We want…no…we NEED a Humble v James Reeves short shorts face off!! 😂

[@stephen6720]

"keel" is just the opposite of how you described it. Keel is when the barrel is very short and the gun tends to flop out over and forward of the belt.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

[@AndyCigars]

Jaques Cousteau ova here. 😂

[@boatscrypto5856]

Put a DSG comp on the C2. Night and day difference.

[@matthewrezuke8130]

Sig p365 with pmm comp takes the cake. C2 has a better trigger and barrel about it..

[@UCQQdmntLgp7x7tuRZojCwUA]

Wish the px4 was in there since you have said it was your preferred carry gun for a while.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

I still carry it - the H9 has been getting some time recently as I figure it out
