Staccato. Worth it?

[hully1029]

For you staccato owners - are they worth the price tag?

i have an STI , before they changed the name ... and i'd say it's worth what you're willing to pay for a well built 2011.

let's put it this way , i let a friend shoot mine after i showed it to him and told him what they cost ... he's a blue collar oil field worker who works hard for his money...

he was like , there's no way in hell i'd ever pay this for a handgun...

then i handed him a mag and told him to go clear the plate rack ....

a few seconds later , he turned around and said .. ok now i get it ... time to start saving $$ ... i want one of these...

so, it's kinda subjective what people deem "worth it" ... and you probably won't understand until you own one..

Very much so, if you're willing to spend the money. They are a completely different company from when they were STI. They seem to be focused on QC, customer service and building a completely reliable 2011. The weak link to the STI's were the magazines that needed constant tuning. Staccato fixed that issue.

I own several STI competition pistols and have fired a few Staccatos. I would take a look at the Masterpiece Arms DS9 before you settle on a Staccato. MPA will give you a much better pistol for your money.

I have & STI’s and never knew I should be having magazine problems. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Staccato.

For me it depends on what you're using it for. I've shot several, and they for sure are nice. Very smooth shooting. But I have not felt the need to upgrade from my Glocks.

Might as well go all in and get an SVI Infinity. Brandon builds them right!

Depending on reliability and functionality, I'd wear it as a duty pistol.

I totally get that. If you wear one daily on duty might as well have one you are comfortable and accurate with.

Why no SV?

Well worth it- ordering mine this month. Went to a LE class sponsored by them and then another day long demo.

Have shot every model except the brand new CS. Shot them with and without optics and nearly every pistol optic available. Very impressive—

I believe they completely outsourced manufacturing instead of making them in house.

As far as the old STI 2011 magazines, they were known be the weak link of the gun. The tubes weren't consistent and almost every USPSA open and limited shooter immediately rebuilt them after purchase. All of my original sti mags were gutted and replaced with grams springs and followers and I still had to tune the feed lips for reliable feeding. Now that Staccato and many others are manufacturing reliable mags now, you don't hear about the issues, because it's no longer an issue.

Run a Google search for "sti magazine issues" and you'll see that it a pervasive issue prior to Staccatto outsourcing manufacturing.

Dawson still sells a magazine tuning kit for STI mags.
