Staccato 9mm

[BigPimping]

I was at my meeting for first responders today. I go to it every Monday. We had a on duty police officer from my city there. They are approving the Staccato for use on duty. This guy had three mags on him and one in the mag well. All were 26 round capacity.

It was pretty cool.

Unfortunately for me the 26 rounders have not been reliable, even the new generation. Follower sticks on them enough that would never use them for duty.

Did you tell him he should have stuck with stock Glock and spent the extra taxpayer dollars on ammo and training?

Yup and those magazines cost between $70-110 each, depending on model. I give them a double middle finger because their reliability sucks. It’s why Delta Force said “no” to the .40 cal chambered gun (formerly “STI” before the name change to Staccato). Overrated and to this day, they still can’t get them right.

Biggest and fattest handgun mag I ever seen.

I've been in competition shooting for over 20 years. Even back when I started, all STI/SV mags get sent to one guy to make them reliable, and he squeezes in another round or two after he's done with them.

Not what I?m saying at all, just those mags which are the huge ones that stick out the bottom. I had an STI in the past and it wasn?t very reliable. Have had 4 staccatos, still have 3. I have around 15k rounds through one of them and it?s ran flawless. My glocks are more picky with ammo than my staccatos and we?re not delta force.

One of my work associates carried a Staccato on duty for a very short time. He went back to his MOS Glock. He didn?t trust his Staccato?s reliability.

Sv mags still suck, staccato gen 3 are good to go and don?t need tuning in staccatos at least. Don?t know about other brands but even nighthawk ships with staccato mags now.

MBX and Atlas make the best mags for a 2011

I second the Altas.

I?ve got an Atlas Titan RDS in .40 S&W with Atlas 20 rounders and it runs like a top.

Staccato is NOT STI. The folks who own and run Staccato are not the original owners of STI. Sandy Strayer and Virgil Tripp started STI in the early 90s, with Strayer leaving STI a few years later to start SVI firearms, now known as Infinity. Dave and Shirley Skinner bought STI from Tripp, who went on to to team with Chip McCormmick to make mags and parts in the 1911 world. The Skinners then sold the company to the STI employees in 2005, and they hired different CEOs while making competition guns, finally being acquired by Westwind Investors in late 2017 and placing current Staccato CEO Nate Horvath in as CEO, and the brains behind the revamp, to completely scrap the previous STI models and create from scratch new 2011s for the LE and duty market in 2018. After coming up with the prototype P model, and thoroughly tested with LE departments in 2018-19, they finalized their company goals and changed their name to Staccato in 2020.

As far as the magazines, the STI one's were made by STI themselves and they did a piss poor job on design and manufacturing, the reason competitors had to tune them in between matches. One of the main reasons Delta disqualified the STI gun (NOT Staccato) from duty consideration was the mags. Later Horvath completely scrapped the STI mags and had an outside company redesign and manufacture them. Here, Larry Vickers explains more about the history of STI/Staccato.



Here is my Staccato P purchased early last year. I have approx. 2000 rds thru it so far, and it has been 100% reliable with different ammo, including my reloads. It is by far the best, flattest shooting 9mm I have (compared to my P-series Sigs, Glocks, Rugers, Walthers), it rivals my Wilson EDC X9L 9mm in accuracy, both now my favorite 9mm handguns, bar none. It shoots faster and better than my past Gen 5 Glock G17 with a Holosun 507c, and my Staccato has no optic. Comes with three mags (2-17s, 1- 20). It has replaced my old G17 MOS as my main home defense handgun and is also one of my favorite range guns. I have already gotten rid of most of my Glocks and some of my Sigs and staying with the 1911/2011 platform. Both my Wilson EDC X9L and Staccato P are so reliable and outstanding shooters, if they were the only handguns I own, that would be just fine with me.

The hype is very real, it really is that good. Here in Texas, all of the gun guys I come across want one bad, it is the most talked about handgun here. And it is 100% made in Texas. But it is also designed for the LE market, it is one of the most popular sidearms for the Texas Rangers, along with the Sig 320.



I do not use the 26rd 170mm mags, but my 17 and 20 rd ones have been 100% reliable, along with the gun. Not one FTE, FTF, etc. Double stack 9mm Staccato mags have a great reputation for reliability.

No G20BP?

Excellent write up. I read story about Staccato, but you summarized very good and short.

I love shooting my Staccato P, and the fact that I got it for a decent price makes it all better.
