STACCATO CS VS C2 VS C. Is this the best carry 2011?

lets take a deep dive and see what the new Staccato cs is all about!

[@justmystery1114]

I cancelled my cs and just got a c2 today, no regrets. Absolutely in love with it

[@1804Defender]

Now this is how you do a review! He gave us comparisons to other guns. What a lot of gun KZbinrs don’t understand is the staccato CS will not be found at your local gun store or gun range. It is not a Glock 19 that you can go and test out. So, just telling us the gun shoots accurate means nothing without showing us comparisons to other weapons that will help have a better understanding of how this gun functions. The only way to test out this gun as of right now is to buy or drive to Georgetown Texas. So I appreciate this review a lot because it answered every question that I had. Now I’m going to buy the staccato CS. 😁

[@loganprince3696]

Your right cause I want one very bad but that's alot of money to pay without handling, holding, and above all firing it before paying over 2k at least!!

[@brody6504]

That’s not even something you can do. The waiting list is months long right now so that leaves paying massively inflated prices on the secondary market.

Well done. Probably a good investment to get the CS, although the Spectre Comp is a good option at half the price is also a good alternative.

[@user-ef9qh8dv2d]

Got a CS today. Shot 100 rounds without the dot, it's accurate and fun. Snappier than a full size, but I shot it next to a Hellcat and it was like a Cadillac compared to that. I love this thing. I think the recoil impulse is less, or at least better feeling, than my Glock 19. That's all I need, I'm happy with the purchase. I've never owned such an expensive gun, and I was apprehensive buying it, but it is truly a high quality piece of machinery. I'm going to buy more Staccatos if I can. Thanks for the review, it helped my decision to purchase.

Bro. I watch a lot of gun tubers but you are refreshing natural! You talk like just another friend chatting about guns unlike a lot of the KZbinrs who sound like the shit don’t stink and is very polished. I hate that shit and then there’s the other type of KZbinrs that sound like they’re trying to hard to be cool i.e. 1911 syndicate. Lol I don’t subscribe often. But after finishing your video. I sub instantly!!! Great job!!!!

[@Earley_World]

The only thing I disagree with… The Staccato P absolutely made me a much, much much much better shooter. I honestly didn’t think a gun could do that, but the Staccatos are just different 🤷‍♂️

[@Americano3232330]

A gun cant make you a better shooter only practice can do that. You’re just trying to justify spending 2,000 dollars on a pistol. It’s a very nice pistol and it costs 2,000 dollars. That’s all the justification you need brother stop trying to cope.

[@Earley_World]

@@Americano3232330 it’s a combination of training and skill no question, but the same logic applies to bringing a fork to a knife fight, high end pistols are simply engineered a lot better than your $300 Rock Island (no disrespect). Therefore, your results combined with skill and training will be much better. Get your hands on a Staccato for a day and let us know what you think, I’d be interested.

[@creationlabsinc.189]

@@Americano3232330 it true I can contest my staccato P makes me seem like a better shooter. I pick up my Glock 19, Sig p320 legion, Kimbers, hell even my Wilson combat .45 ACP I can’t achieve the same accuracy. I’m rich AF so 2-4K on a pistol is nothing. Stop bringing salt into the convo with yo broke ass

[@michaell397]

The C-2 did indeed make me a better shooter. How? Because I can't resist the call of my personal home range. Seems the C-2 calls out to me almost everyday and I can't resist. Only complaint is it is just flat hungry. Man it can go thru some ammo quick and puts a smile on my face while putting me in the poor house! GRRRRRR!!! Worse, I ported and Genghis type comped it in my shop, full trigger job, reduced the grip dia. and stippled the grip module and milled and hard fit a Lup'y Pro reflex sight and now its hunger is ravenous.

[@rays9033]

I have two C2’s, and this past week I emailed Staccato regarding a different grip for the C2. Currently the Tac grip is available for the C2, but it’s the full-size grip as used on the P, which will not allow C2 mag’s. The Tac grip requires 17-round and larger capacity mag’s, not the 16-round Staccato mag’s, which sucks since I own ten 16-round C2 mag’s. Staccato Customer Support said they would mention my C2 Tac grip request in their next company meeting. I would really prefer a 16-round Tac grip to help with CCW concealment.

Prior military that have provided a copy of their DD214 or law enforcement get 10 to 15 percent off (even off the blem prices). The guns are not blemmed whatsoever but come at a huge discount. You can select flat or curved trigger and also between stainless or DLC (go with the DLC!!!). I got a flat trigger dlc CS for 2200 delivered to my FFL in 4 days.

Great review. I don't have a CS yet, as it is on order. Can you please tell me which variant of the Streamlight TLR-7 Sub that you have mounted on your CS? Some CS owners say that they ordered the 1913 variant, but it would not mount correctly because it would mount canted. Others say they mounted the Springfield Hellcat variant which mounts correctly.

When shooting from the hip, angle upward so you’re hitting more center/upper torso vs down into the stomach.

So if your budget (and wife) only allow one Staccato, do you get the CS or the steel P? The P would be more range fun but couldn’t carry it. And the CS would be awesome for carry but not the full Staccato experience at the range. I also have some reservations about buying a $2500 gun that can be taken from me if I was in a self defense situation. They are beautiful guns and this is a great review!

[@renerodriguez2364]

You do NOT need to put 5K rounds through either gun to figure out whether you should carry one or the other,…come on now!! As a 31 yr veteran-retired officer I can absolutely verify this fact having carried and owning hundreds of gun through my career. While both are excellent, the C2 is THE ONE to go with…main reason is that other mags from other models will fit, versus the CS which has proprietary mags to fit ONLY the CS. Secondly, the extra slide length/weight makes the C2 hands down an easier shooting gun with mor accuracy. As far as 1911/2011 style guns go across ALL calibers, the C2 may be the absolutely BEST that has ever been produced regardless of its $2399.00 MSRP price tag. My advice, buy the C2, add a Dawson Precision low profile mag well for even better ergos and fast magazine changes. Finally, as a backup, purchase a version of the Sig P365 380 or 9mm, for occasions when you want to go light weight without sacrificing quality as well as a Ruger LCR 357-with internal hammer. These three guns will serve you well for all occasions and are all that any serious CCW gun owner will ever need.

[@Elite5.7]

Does the c2 17rd mags fit it with the bigger base plate

[@codean909]

No, they will not. CS mags are proprietary and will not work in any other 2011 style pistol.

[@ExSoldier762]

The CS is my next gun. I’ll mount a Holosun optic, the Primary Arms variant with the green chevron. I’m also going to mount an OLIGHT BALDR PRO light/green laser. 1350 lumens and an easily zeroed green laser. I’ve already got an open topped holster on order from the OUTSTANDING Craft Holsters that will accommodate the exact gun rig (with accessories) that I just described.
