So I’ve spent the last two weeks visiting https://staccato2011.com/ daily - usually multiple times. The only thing that has prevented me from making another significant donation to the gun industry is that I can’t decide between the CS and the C2. Well, and do I really think a gun, put together much like many others, is worth this amount of cabbage?
I mean, my CZ Shadow 2 Carry was less than 1/2 the price, is deadly accurate, and is only 5 oz heavier than the C2. The CZ S2 Carry build advantages are also clear - deeper mounted slide that clearly affects recoil and rapid follow ups, sunken optic mount requiring no plate, etc. About the only negative I can say about it is how hard it is to find a quality OWB quick attach leather holster - still looking and awaiting answers from a couple of makers.
I’ve read a lot about Staccato pistols being “all that and a bag of chips”, but when I try to research design differences compared to other pistols, I really can’t find much outside of quick trigger reset. The optics require one of their proprietary plates (though I do like the idea of having an optic attached and zeroed upon pick up at LGS).
And of course then I review the Prodigy’s at Springfield.com and realize one can be had for less than a similar Staccato. I am aware that some of Staccato pricing is for CNC machining + hand fitting builds versus a “line type” assembly that I believe Springfield uses outside of their TRP line (on the pistol side, I know nothing of their long guns). And then there is the fact the Staccato is only a few hundred dollars more than the SA TRP AOS models.
None near me to rent, so not an option. Being one who shoots at an indoor range and uses his guns for carry and home defense (no gun games), would a Staccato CS or C2 offer me anything I don’t already have outside of having a pistol stamped Staccato? I already have a few 1911s I can carry cocked and locked.
Almost forgot, the Staccato is made in Texas, so that’s a major check in the “pro” column!

. Very few folks can shoot better than a CZ Shadow. I know mine is far more accurate that me or anybody else that’s shot (proved by a Ransom rest). I’d bet you’re the same.
