STI Staccato P - A Truly Worthy Carry 2011!

[@KSGunGuy01]

*Pounds, not ounces on the trigger. It’s light but not THAT light, lol!

[@George-nx5lo]

very friendly warning, get rid of that zev tech trigger immediately, have had 2 now that had COMPLETE FAILURE, locked up the gun and it could not fire. I called them after the first one and they said that was normal and they would send me another. I will never trust my life with that crap. The tiny spring that pushes the trigger safety out will weaken and then turn sideways when slack is in it. thus locking up your trigger and not allowing it to fire. Apex trigger seems to have a trigger that is much better anyway and have fixed this RECALL THAT THEY WILL NOT TAKE CREDIT FOR. Going to get someone killed.

Maybe a little late to the party, but I was shown a Staccato P at a local gun shop. Then started doing some research here on KZbin. Went back and pulled the trigger (pun intended). Your reviews are incredibly helpful. Thank you

[@clint4237]

Great video. I picked up mine about a month ago and love it, but not perfect. For that kind money, full night sights or a night sight/fiber combo would be better, not to mention a third magazine. Aside from those complaints, the only other thing I didn't love was the very uninspired finish. But its a fantastic shooter and I've carried it daily since I got it. I love 1911's, but this is my first 2011.

@KSGunGuy Minor changes for the Staccato P in 2020 1.)Barrel length is 4.4 inches 2.)Easier take down the guide rod assembly has a built in spring loaded push lever. You push the guide rod forward, press in the lever which locks the compressed guide rod. You then pull the compressed guide rod out. 3.) The sleeve removes with the compressed guide rod assembly. 4.)Barrel is coated differently, it is not black but brushed chrome color. 5.) Comes with 1 17 round and 2 20 round magazines new black finish on magazines some shipped w/chrome depending on stock as it depletes on chrome. 6.) Stippling on grip has changed. Not sure what the finish colors are called but you get the idea......

[@KSGunGuy01]

Great to know C! Thanks for the info brother.

[@gunner76]

This looks like a 2019 Staccato P. The 2020 Staccato P has a 4.4" barrel that is tapered in the front and doesn't have a full length picatinny rail. This looks identical to the new Staccato Heritage, less the DUO and X-serrations. The 4.15' P is very reliable and well balanced handgun. Great video!!!@@KSGunGuy01

Ah yes, who doesn't like half the ammo and more recoil with zero ballistic advantage in muzzle energy from the projectile?

[@frankbutta9344]

The local range/gun shop has two competitive shooters, both shooting on Team Ruger: James McGinty and Dave Olhasso. James’ father owns the shop, and they’re both 1911 shooters. James ran STI’s until he was picked up by Ruger, and he and his father have a massive collection upscale 1911 pistols. Dave Olhasso does an extraordinary job with action tuning, and I’m lucky to know both of these guys. They run 1911’s with insanely light triggers, and I’m only interested in carry pistols. My Colts, Rugers, and S&W 1911’s all have 3.5-4.0 lb triggers, and I’m fine with that. I’ve been given the opportunity to shoot the McGinty’s Nighthawks, Cabots, Wilson Combats, etc, and I’m pretty happy with my $1,200 and under 1911’s. The Staccato’s polymer grip would mess with my OCD too much, and I’d have blend the polymer and steel with a file...lol! Thanks for sharing!

Have the c and the c2 and idk how people carry the c2 and the p, they're huge. Going back to just the staccato c. Would be nice if some company made a double stack mag that fit in the c because there's more than enough room in that grip for one

[@timlepage4483]

@@areyou0k98I'm not an authority on the STI or 1911's but the c2 is the double stack, yes? But you don't like it but want the c in a double stack? If I understand it right, the polymer / fiber frame is a large piece of the recoil absorption.... If they thinned down the material for a double stack in the original C, you'd have a much harder gun to control and would likely see a failure in the form of cracking.

[@areyou0k98]

@@timlepage4483 I have both the c and the c2. The c2 grip is big but the actually thickness of the plastic is very small, a few milimeters. The c grip has a bunch of unnecessary plastic on the inside of the grip that if filed down I firmly believe could fit a magazine like the double stack Makarov magazine where it's thin up top but thick down below for double stack. Unfortunately this only an idea and I don't have the tools or resources to try it.

Right on!

[@bertthebuilder4699]

Thats a freaking nice gun!

[@KSGunGuy01]

They really are amazing Bert! Thank you and cheers!

The only item a left handed shooter needs is an ambisafety. Right handed shooters need the mag release placed on the right side so they no longer need to break their grip to reload.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Actually, right handed shooters use mag releases on the left side. Thank you and cheers!

[@tomrkba4685]

I know that. Using the trigger finger works just fine. I see many right handed shooters, especially ladies, who cannot easily operate the magazine release. They end up either rotating the gun or rotating their hand to reach it. Place it on the right side to run with the trigger finger and the problems go away. Some shooters will save a bit of time on their reloads if they are going against the clock. If they can reach it with their thumb, then either side is fine.

The beaver tail is an obstacle for carry. Other than that this weapon is awesome.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Fair point! Thank you and cheers!

[@willroland9811]

I don't think I'd use the term obstacle, especially since that part can make or break a shot/shooter.....

[@chrispham1113]

@@willroland9811 however, you want to call that beaver tail lol

On the fence about getting 1

Def competition

Agreed! Cheers again brother!

You still have this particular gun?

[@jasswear8911]

Why did they stop making the tree Bark grip texture?

[@meangene4038]

Great review, but don't understand why you didn't like the smaller, lighter Staccato C? I see the P as competition/range only. I think Harry made the right choice...much more reliable and easier to EDC.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Your guess is as good as mine on that Mean. I really thought the C would be the right one, but sometimes we get taken by surprise. Thank you and cheers brother!

[@aegonz121]

I've got a bigger hand so the P felt better in my hand the the C did. And 17+1 to me is more fun than 8+1 for only $500 more. No brainier.

[@bigsean2473]

cause its smaller and lighter so if flips more and has less to hold on too. bigger guns easier to shoot

[@meangene4038]

[@shelbyneely1572]

I cant understand why people cut those grooves into the side of the beaver tail, to reduce 0.000001 of a ounce. Shit kills the base of my thumb for literally no reason.

[@d10x21]

Congrats to those who can carry a 2011. Aside from wearing a full on winter jacket, I think it's way too big. Try the Staccato C for a more reasonably comfortable carry gun.

[@stever8776]

Every gun magazine has cover pictures of the latest Wilson pistols. But other great manufacturers like STI, Ed Brown and Les Baer are ignored. Wilson makes great guns that are unaffordable for many readers. Magazines should cover other high end pistol not just Wilson and Nighthawk.

[@KSGunGuy01]

I completely agree! I think it comes down to who pays the most. Thank you and cheers!

[@tarassmith2325]

This is oversell, and that Glock looked like a bad piece of luggage.

[@KSGunGuy01]

So you’re saying your jealous? Lol

[@SmittySpeaks]

Seems a lil bit big for concealed carry. Maybe winter carry only?

[@KSGunGuy01]

I’ve seen a few folks do it in light clothes but agree that winter carry would make more sense. Thank you and cheers!

[@akaTheDevil]

How does it compare to the Shadow 2?

[@jamesbaughman1940]

How does this and the RIA tac tac ultra fs hc 2011 stack up?

Can the beaver tail be modified? Why does it need to be so long?

Not sure why you'd need to mod it. Thank you and cheers!
