STACCATO 2011 MAINTENANCE 101: ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR LONGEVITY.

[@threatcadre]

After numerous request on how I lubricate the Staccato 2011s, I finally got around to dropping this episode. We will discuss from Disassembly through Reassembly, with close ups. Hope this helps, guys. Greg

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

I just finished cleaning mine, too. 'Shoot on Saturday, cleaning on Sunday' has been my regular routine as of late. 👍👍

[@threatcadre]

Haha..same same.

[@danahowerton9638]

I've never seen so much lube put on a pistol Holy crap, an thank you! Good information to have coming from glocks.

[@threatcadre]

haha...Its a thin coat...another reason I like the needle applicator...but, when I came over from Glocks...It was an eye opener..lol

[@FPS_Bang]

Yeah 2011s need all the juice lol

You did a fine job Sir! I just finished cleaning my Les Baer Thunder Ranch Special minutes before catching your vid here. I would like to add a couple of missed spots that are very important. ONe, the ramp on the lower lug. You lubed the link but it is as if not more important to lube the feet of the lower lug as well. Two, The rear of the lower lug where it impacts the frame in recoil, as well as along both sides of the under barrel where it hits the frame in ejection. this is along both sides of the lower lug. And finally, the rear of the recoil rod where it rest against the lower lug. Lots of friction here. (For those with a bushing setup, lube the outside as well as the in side of the bushing) I've learned these spots in over 45 years of 1911 care. More importantly, Wilson Combat Alchemy, Cabot and Atlas Gunworks all state this in their tutorials on lubing their rather high end 1911's and 2011 type hand guns. These guys really know their stuff! They have too. Thank you for this in-depth vid on taking care of our favorite Handguns. Many in todays Plastic Fantastic world have no idea of what is needed. ;

What I like best is you are direct no bs and to the point another great video thank you sir

[@threatcadre]

Thank you. As a gun guy, I like to create vids I want to watch. Lol. Thank you for your feedback, Sir 👊🏼🇺🇸

[@Oldmanjustice]

This was very helpful. I just purchased a P recently. This was the simplest yet most informative video I’ve seen on disassembly and cleaning. Thank you

[@threatcadre]

Welcome to the family. The P is as solid as they come...and will last a lifetime. Glad i could help...if you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Greg

Thank you..hope it helps. Greg

[@robertyoung7595]

Great video, thanks for taking the time to educate us 👊🏿

[@michaell397]

Well, I was looking at both the CS and C2 and even with my small hands, the C2just fit me better. I picked it up in the 13th for my B'day and couldn't be happier. I was shocked that it can shoot right along side my Les Baer Thunder Ranch special which I've had for a lot of years now. I've never had any 9mm even come close to the Baer accuracy which is hard fit with the 1 1/2" at 50 guarantee. I picked it up from Dawson Precision which is just down the road from me a piece by Texas standards. Staccato is just a few miles further South of Dawsons. They had what I wanted in stock and it was a good transaction. I could have driven down to Staccato but there would have been a substantial wait and Dawson doesn't charge more for being able to pick up a Staccato right away. Staccato offers a fast track that allows you go get the gun in about a month, but then again, thaty charge 275 usd for the privilege. Dawson is clearly the choice for those in the know. ;

[@threatcadre]

Dawson is a solid option for a lot of shooters. Glad the advise helped. I’m still in love with my C2. Accuracy is amazing in all that I have shot and I have two. I compare all my pistols to my Springfield professional 1911. One of the best semi production pistols I’ve used. The staccato stays right with it. 👊🏼🇺🇸

👍 Always appreciate the information That you pass on👊🇺🇲

[@threatcadre]

I appreciate the feedback...thank you...if you have any questions..just let me know. Greg

[@RetARMYjohn]

Love your videos/channel! Keep it up brother!

[@iscozky]

Nice video👍🏼 can you make a video how you clean the port of the compensator? Thanks.

[@threatcadre]

Honestly, the best think I have found is to soak in Simple Green...the brush...but, will work on one...thank you for your request.

[@JustMe-999a]

Staccato has a lubrication video. They use way less lube, and only lube it while it's fully assembled

[@RichB804]

Great explanation. No need to lightly lube the extractor or ejector?

[@threatcadre]

I've never found a need on either...with the tight tolerances, I would be fearful of collection of dirt/ carbon etc..and no way to expel it. Especially with the internal extractors...The ejector i just clean off during general maintenance if required..

[@pcrealty]

Good suggestions, sometimes I wipe down the excess oils, it that a good idea? How often do you clean your handguns? After how many rounds?

[@threatcadre]

Yes. You can clean excess oil. It’s fine. On my EDC, I clean after every range. On my training / instructor pistols. Normally about 4K. Just add a little lube before each class.

[@dennissmith1469]

Now my question is why the company Staccato warns you not to use a Gun grease? Me, i clean my guns after every time i shoot them. Many say i shouldn't, im not big into using solvents as that removes oils from the pours of the steel unless it is really carboned up!

[@threatcadre]

For 1911/2011 style weapons, its common to refrain from grease. Normally, on the higher end pistols the tolerances are tighter...and the grease can cause an issue with the slide to frame fit...as well as the barrel lockup.....same thing with grease having an issue of attracting more dirt, carbon etc...Ive always used grease on my polyers...etc...grease will actually, tighten and sloppy slide to frame hit...

[@dennissmith1469]

@threatcadre me to always used such as lucas gun grease. Believe it first thing when i got my Staccato home i disassembled and cleaned like i do with my new guns actually had it all greased up. I've never fired yet, then caught videos not to grease! So i recleaned it and oil. Now a Marine once told when they were on a Full on march or in the training feild there wasn't oil or gun grease. He said what you had was an old sock disassembled gun parts and a Semi you washed your gun parts in the diesel tank and grabed grease from a 5th wheel plate and oil from the dip stick of the engine. Now you're read!

[@threatcadre]

@@dennissmith1469 but.. Marines were never given actual cleaning supplies. 🤣🤣. Made due with what the had. 👊🏼

[@dennissmith1469]

@threatcadre thats what my brother always said, plus their packs were filled for survival stuff, not cleaning supplies! As he said, they would be dropped off in the middle of no wear in a jungle and said orders were made were for everyone to return back to base and giving a time Restraint they best return on! He said sometimes that could be a week or a month drop off!!

[@michaell397]

@@dennissmith1469 Yep, grease is fine on a sloppy fit military handgun. They are not even close to a precision fit. Grease will make them feel a little finer builty. Sadly, any dust turns the grease into a lapping compound and makes the guns even looser. GRRRRRRR!!!! KnifeMaker

[@kristinhickey2680]

Bore snake yay or nay?? Brush?? Maybe I am adding unnecessary steps. You make it look pretty easy😅

[@threatcadre]

On the cleaning side, I just use a barrel brush....key thing for a barrel, like my precision rifles, I will soak in copper removal cleaner...to clean the lands and grooves...that's basically it...other than soft brush to clean the carbon...This was just lube...since I get a lot of questions on how a lube my 2011s...

60k is very impressive

[@threatcadre]

It continues to impress...as does the others. Greg

How many malfunctions in approximately 60k rounds?

Only issues I saw were magazine related.
