Well done Mr Vickers, been a cop for 31 years. For 26 of those I used Sig products, now Glock. Bought a Staccato P and the only way one can shoot it poorly is blindfolded and over your shoulder. It is a phenomenal pistol!!!
Great video Larry. Yeah, I purchased one earlier in the year, and I really was contemplating whether I really wanted one because of the price tag. Well, I took a leap of faith and I'm glad I did. This thing is insanely accurate. It fits like a glove in my hand. I'm not the best shot, but with iron sites, I'm hitting bullseye most of the time. I can't believe how accurate it is. What impresses me is how thick the barrel is compared to my other nines. The slide is so smooth and gentle. Certainly worth the price.
You know what is another really good pistol? The Canik TP9 SFX Rival. The hype is real and its only $630. I think it may have the best trigger I've ever used in any striker fired pistol. If you get a chance to try one do yourself a favor and give it a shot. Mine has been 100% reliable and I have around 3k rounds through it. This pistol won the carry optics national championship in USPSA last year.
LAV, so happy to see you looking healthy! Your complexion and overall healthy look and sound is great to see and hear!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 im retiring soon, and the family and I are moving to NC. I hope to see you around the shooting community! I currently work as a Firearms Instructor out here for a major SoCal Police Department, and we were one of the first major PD’s to embrace STI/Staccato for duty, and they serve our Men and Women very well….. Staccato is a very good company to deal with, as well.Stay Safe Sir!🙏🏻👊🏻🇺🇸
Staccato are nice and smooth especially suppressed is awesome .. clicked the video just cause of Larry ! Great to see you back and super healthy! Hope to see more videos Larry ! Stay safe and Healthy! 🇺🇸💪🏾
Honestly, 9mm taking over the 2011 world is why I built my custom gun off a Para Ordnance frame, which had higher capacity options in .45 thanks to Remington making a 15+1 round magazine and Taylor Freelance making extensions for Para pattern magazines that added an additional +3 to get 18+1. Was worried about magazines since I always heard double stack magazines were issues for both STI and Para patterns, and these mags were Remington under Freedom Group, but so far I put a few thousand rounds in the gun and no problems with them. Any feeding problems I’ve had were all either bad ammo or a Shok Buff breaking to pieces related. Reading online, it does seem like Mec Gar made these magazines and they know what they’re doing, and I do see some slight modifications to the magazine design compared to early Paras, so I suppose the magazines were updated properly and Mec Gar has good quality control unlike Freedom Group era Remington. Still prefer .45ACP, though. Mathematically, it has a 60% larger wound cavity than 9mm, meaning 2 rounds of .45 does greater tissue damage than 3 9mms. So a 15+1 .45 does more tissue damage than even 23+1 9mm (16/2=8 8*3=24). 9mm in modern times is adequate while being cheap and available, but .45ACP does still offer better performance.
I too have Para double stacks in 45 and 40, a springer double stack gi 45 hi cap, and a custom 38 super build with a Caspian slide on a strayer Voight frame. I run mecgars and Para ordnance mags in all of them except the 38 super which I run SVI mags in. Never had any issues with my Para brand mags or mecgars, I also have some ACT mags and promags though I haven't tested them enough to carry or use them seriously with them but I expect they will just fine although I will say the promags seem to inspire the least confidence of all. Have been shooting my first Para (p16 40 limited) and carrying it for over 10 years, I've dropped the mags fully loaded down stairs and on concrete (never purposely but such is life when you walk around with mags stuffed in pockets) and the worst thing to ever happen is one time a mag spat out one round after falling on concrete, no damage to the feed lips or anything tho. I find that the mostly likely culprit of these mags getting such a bad reputation is likely some bad qc very early on ,competitive shooters beating on them excessively, and a combination of people just not understanding 1911s and 2011s as a platform and tuning them. I imagine many a Para and STI/Staccato have been sold bc idiots or ignorant people had some hiccups and then just went "man this gun sucks I gotta sell it" when it likely just needed an extractor tuning which is about the easiest shit in the world to do but it takes a few seconds of thinking to get to that point which is too much to ask of people who don't think and are used to everything just being plug and play.
@@ChuckSneed88 Makes sense. Really, it’s stories like how Les Baer (who clearly aren’t idiots) weren’t able to get their custom Para-Ordnance frame guns working for FBI HRT, resulting in a single stack being adopted instead, that made me worry. Surely any QC problems with the magazines would’ve been caught by the guys at Les Baer, right? Also can’t imagine the guns being too much of a problem given most standard 1911 parts are compatible, and it was always the magazines that people complained about. Granted, it could be the original mags Para manufactured in-house had some issues design or QC wise, but were eventually fixed and QC issues went away with Mec- Gar producing them.
@@gameragodzilla All my Para brand para mags of that era are in 40 aside from my factory p12 mag so I can't really speak how the 45 acp ones at the time were but to my knowledge most of the issues that FBI HRT had with the les paras was mags was bending feed lips from being slammed into the gun too hard on reloads (not really an issue on the single stack guns they were used to running at the time) or from being dropped repeatedly on reloads and such. This was an issue common in competition at the time too with para mags. I will say I think mecgars are the highest quality Para pattern mag and are probably superior in build quality to early 90s Para factory mags but at the same time I run and carry my like 30 year old Para mags hard and don't baby them and have never been able to replicate any of these issues. Not saying the platform never had any problems but I do think they're greatly overstated and likely were more exasperated by user error than genuine design flaw. I will say on post-90s paras I'm not a fan of the extra power extractor and have found they wear out faster but all my guns were made long prior to that being implemented but I've seen it as an issue on friends guns and have had them replace theirs with a standard style extractor that's made to remedy that and it instantly fixes their problems.
Great gun. Why has it taken 30 years to make? We used 1911s and Beretta 92s(I started in 95’, glocks replaced the 92s two years later). I asked for something exactly like this then and I wasn’t alone.
Samee here! Ive been wanting something like this since i was 14, yes ik i wasnt old enough to own a pistol, but i was really into firearms ever since i was young thanks to video games and the history channel on their many war series. I was hoping theyd make something like this, so when i was of legal age id have something i knew i wanted to purchase the day i turned 21, fast forward to 23 years of age now, im glad my wish came true and right on time!!! I purchased my first 2011 staccato C2 last year 🤘🏻 no regrets and everything i ever wanted. Life works in mysterious ways
I’d be very curious to see how they perform dusty and sandy environments. I don’t have a lot faith that what is essentially 1911 performing well as a service pistol, though I’ve seen the photos of Marshals carrying them. Time will tell I guess🤷♂️

The staccato p2011 is my favorite handgun! !
That man Larry back
Nice to see back Mr Vickers
I looked at a number of alternatives. I went with the EDC X9 with a similar optic.
Smart choice!
Staccato P is the smoothest gun I've ever shot. That said my Rock Island double stack 1911 is just fine for me since I'm trying to ball on a budget.
*This man knows how to shoot, he has a bright future.*
It’s Glock 17 for me. When it comes down to actual reality, nothing beats it.
Love my cs. Love love love it. Carry a dpp as well on it

And…. You’re looking leaner, healthier and stronger. All of that is very good.
What a coincidence, COD added this pistol recently (although irl is miles better than some pixels I guess)
Love to see you give the new Staccato CS a workout…. Maybe with the Devil’s Drill?
Mr. Vickers does look to be in better health.

They are nice guns, but I personally can't justify the cost - that's vacation money in my book.
Would love to see the DWX or DWX Compact.
You'll never see a 9mm 1911 in my house, my wife carries a Colt Delta Elite.
