Staccato C Impressions

[HeavyDuty]

I bought one of my Cs from Guns Plus in Georgetown. They had inventory. I'm in Austin. PM me if interested, we might find a time/location you could see a C. I'm early morning at Austin Rifle Club or the Range at Austin.

Thank you for the kind offer - I’m not sure what Texas laws are (if any) for nonresidents shooting at public ranges. Kelly is down off Slaughter between I-35 and the MoPac, I think I’ve seen Range at Austin on the I-35 frontage road. When I come back in four weeks I’ll check out Guns Plus, too. (I’m at AUS waiting for a flight back to NH.)

I’m almost 100% OWB, so I’m thinking the texture wouldn't be an issue for me. (Especially if @Tony Mayer does his magnificent OWB2 for the Staccato C, hint hint.) (Edit - I just reread your comment, I can see where clothes grabbing might be an issue, I was thinking skin abrasion.)

Something direct mount like the upcoming Holosun SCS would be ideal.

I sent Staccato an email to see if they had any suggested stores in the Austin area where I could see a C. I’ve been watching stores for ages with no luck, most haven’t even heard of the gun. I really like the almost-a-CCO proportions of the C.

We can trim the P down to C2 length, just let me know in the comments. no biggie!

Texas is a free state.

You don’t need a FOID card, or permission from a commissar though there are those in Austin who wish you did.

Leave the IL/NY/NJ/MA Slave mentality behind.

You forgot CA and HI and DC

I really didn’t need to find this thread.

What are the current gold standard optic options for a Staccato C? Do any other than the Holosun 509 allow close to “normal” height sights? I’m a fan of the RMRcc but that plate is awfully thick. @rdtompki , you’re running a RDS on a Staccato C too, right?

Gorgeous guns, @Hideeho .

I'm running the RMR CHPWS plate which includes an integral rear sight and requires a taller front sight (not installed yet). I've mounted an RMR but am looking at switching to a Holosun 407CO; the rounded lens hood will eliminate any printing when I'm carrying AIWB. I'm just starting to get more range time but I'm finding little, if any, change in my press-out required versus my iron sight 1911s.

I’m still actively trying to forget seven years in California.

Sad that a NY State pistol license requirements are more intrusive than the NFA.

[newyork]

Ooof. Maybe the only state worse than NY. But idk. We’re pretty bad. Their handgun list might take the cake.

walked into the LGS today to look at G43X’s and I got bit. Figured since I have been carrying my P’s for a few years it made sense.

Hmm so is there a real material difference between a Staccato C and an Officer's sized 1911 with a 4" barrel (or a CCO; Officer's frame, Commander-length barrel) ?

I realize nearly all Officer-sized guns have a 3.5" barrel so pushing that out to 3.9/4" is a nice feature by itself, but...the rest of it seems like a normal 1911, albeit with a different grip setup?

The C has a 4" bull barrel, opposed to the Officer's bushing-barrel fitment.

I've owned Officer's sized 9mms (and 45s) in the past, and I think the C is a much better product. Officers in 45 tend to be very hit or miss on reliability, the Cs that I've owned/shot ran like raped apes.
