Alright, so let’s start all the way at the bottom, we’ll start with the mags, it comes with three 16-round metal mags by Staccato, they’re nice mags, it’s nice to come with three because they’re kind of expensive, they’re around 60 bucks, but they do come with three mags, which is nice.

Now, moving to the grip and the grip texture, I really like this, I love the kind of 1911, 2011 angles of grips, they’re very, very comfortable in hand. The grip texturing is very nice, it’s all the way around the pistol, so on the front and the sides. You do have the Staccato logo on there, which was formerly STI, kind of glad to change the name to Staccato, so, anyway, they do have their logo right there.

These grips are polymer, you can change them out, there is other options out there, if you do change it out you will actually end up changing the trigger guard also because it’s all one piece, but you can find other grips to change this out with, so you do have a grip safety, and then we do have a trigger undercut right here, and you can see on the grip here it’s also been cut out and it’s smooth right here, doesn’t have the texture and it’s smooth right here. I can get an extremely comfortable grip on this gun and you obviously have the beaver tail part right here, but I can get a very, very nice purchase on the gun, it’s very comfortable in the hand.

Now, we do have a mag release on this side and it is ambidextrous, so you can switch it to other side if you’re a left-hand shooter, which is nice. Obviously, I am not, so we will obviously keep it there, but it's nice, you can switch that if you want.

Now, let’s go to the trigger, here we have a skeletonized trigger, and the trigger is actually polymer and it is skeletonized, as you can see. The trigger is super nice, 4-pound pull, very little to no take-up, just a little bit right there, and very nice break, and let’s check out the reset, just a tiny bit of let-out and a very positive and tactile. You can really get up and move fast with these triggers, they’re very nice, but they’re light enough to still… I would still be very comfortable carrying the trigger, it’s not too light for me. So, the trigger is excellent on these guns. They are adjustable, there is a screw right there, they tell you that it has actually been set from the factory, so there’s no need to change them and I do agree with that, they do feel absolutely excellent.

Now, moving up, we do have an ambi safety, so there’s a safety right here, we cock this gun, so we have the safety right here and on this side, and it’s very positive, very tactile, very easy to manipulate with my thumb on this side, very nice safety indeed. On this side you do have your slide lock, slide release right here, which is also your takedown lever with this button on the other side, and we’ll show you how to take this down in just a little bit here.
Moving along to the front here, obviously I do have a SureFire light on here. You do have one Picatinny slot at the front of this gun, so you can attach obviously alight, like I have done here and I’ve gone with the SureFire light.

Now, moving back, we do have a skeletonized hammer right here, and it does have some texturing all the way around the back like so. Ok, and then, you’ll see right here, we have the American flag. These guns are actually proudly made in Texas and it does have the 2011 logo right here on this side of the frame. So, it does have some a little bit of a branding, but it’s very modest, hard to see. I do love the American flag and I do love that little engraving on this side, very nicely done with their branding.

Ok, now moving up to the slide, we do have, obviously, some serration on the front and back, they’re very aggressive, you can get a really nice grip on there, especially, you know, I have an RMR on here, obviously, yes, I can bang the RMR, I can still grip it right here, but sometimes, you know, it’s just kind of nice to be able to go to the front here and press check, you know, pinch check, however you want to call it, and make sure that the gun is unloaded, and the slide is very smooth. It’s not as smooth as the Staccato P, but it does feel very smooth indeed.

Now, I did say this is the optics ready version, so typically this will come with a plate on there, and the plate is attached to the rear sight, so when you take that out, the rear sight comes with it. Now, this sight is from Dawson Precision, it’s about 160$, and you can buy that for RMRs, Holosuns, you know, they have a variety of them, but the nice thing is they do include the rear sight back on here on that plate, so when you put that back on you do have a rear sight again, and I can actually co-witness with my fiber optic sight on the front there, you probably can’t see that, but we’ll see if you can maybe see the color, there’s green, there’s a couple different colors in the pack you can switch that out too, and if you look here you can probably see that, the sight here, it just sits above the RMR, so if that RMR goes down I can use my backup sights, my iron sights, so I really like that feature also.

So, Staccato recommends that, obviously, these guns like to be run wet, so they don’t, you know, do need a little bit more care than, say, like a Glock or something like that. It’s really simple when the packaging comes says, you know, they want a little bit of oil up here, and then you can put a little bit of oil on the slide rails, inside right here, and then a little bit on right here, and so just do that occasionally, make sure the gun’s a little lubed, it doesn’t like, it’s gonna take just a little bit more maintenance than your standard Glock 19, but not a ton more.

Alright, so to open this up, on this side there’s two notches, there’s one here, which is a slide lock, slide release and there’s another small one, and that is actually how you take the gun down, you pull the slide back to lever, right here’s a little notch, and we’ll push that through, so pull back, get that notch lined up, push the pin through like so, and it comes out, very easy to do, let it slide, go forward, and pull that slide off.

Ok, so this has actually happened before when I’ve gone to take off my slide and I have my light on, the guide rod’s pop down and get stuck on my light, there’s a little groove, and actually I’m taking off my light to get that undone, so we’ll just undo that real fast, alright, so the lights off and then, so pull the slide all the way off, I’m gonna go over the frame first, so obviously this is the frame, the fit and finish is absolutely exquisite, beautifully done, very, very nice, and then we’ll take out, this is your guide rod and spring setup, and then we have a 3.9-inch bull barrel, you can see there, it’s pretty thick on the end there and you can see how it thickens a little bit at the end here like so, so that is your bull barrel. On the slide, again, in the inside, the fit and finish looks superb, very, very nicely done. Alright, and just go back in reverse and put it back together.

Alright, so let’s give you a little bit of a size comparison here, let’s go with the Glock 19. So, we got the Glock 19, we do have a light on here also. Now, lengthwise, the Staccato seems, well, if you go with the beaver tail, Staccato seems a little taller, if you go like frame to like the back here with not including the beaver tail, I’d say the Staccato is a little shorter, but if you include that beaver tail it’s definitely not.

Now, when you line them up at the back, though you can see the Staccato C2 is a little longer at the back end here. I would say it’s probably, maybe a little thinner on, it’s definitely a little thinner up on the slide. So, overall, it’s a really good size, I would feel comfortable concealed carrying this, probably for me in the winter time when wearing a hoodie or something like that.

Shooting these guns is just phenomenal, incredibly accurate, low recoil, just super, super nice guns to shoot with an awesome trigger as well, I highly recommend these guns.

Now, I’m seeing all the positives to these guns and I do have very little negatives, except they do have one, it’s not really a negative, but there’s one thing to be aware of, so if you’re locked back, I cannot get my thumb to reach the mag release, now, I don’t have particularly long thumbs, but you’d have to have some pretty dang long thumbs to be able to hit that, so it’s gonna be a training issue, you’re gonna have to bring your second hand up to grip and then release it with that thumb or, once you put your mag in, you know, just slingshot it if you like to do it that way. I wouldn’t say it’s so much a negative just as a training thing, if you’re not used to these type of guns, that you have to do.
