1911’s in general, 9mm versions specifically

[fwafwow]

But just think of the dollar-cost of all the hours you spent researching...instead of deciding...

Research is part of the fun

Same, but in my case it has more to do with being a cheap ass than actual resistance

Since your post, I've spent more (pretty much the entire) time than I want to admit confirming that my last venture down this hole lead me to wavering between the C vs CS. Then I remembered they are discontinued both. But I've found some (new and used) and am now reminded at how many SKUs there are. (They are all within a few hundred of each other, but the Staccato website won't let me build them to compare the various UPCs.)

First world problems.

Maybe from recent experience, Modern Warrior has a few CS varieties in stock….shipping is only $10. They maybe have a C or two. I didn’t look for those. A few Scheels have had them too(Kansas, Utah, and AZ). The Scheels in Utah has a used CS with compact grips for a pretty decent price. @B_Reynolds_AK has one on here for a good price if he’ll ship.

That’s one of the retailers I found but had to put down the phone. I keep thinking if I sleep on it (again) I will realize I am fine with my current carry. But my first pistol I ever bought was a 1911, so it’s hard to do so.

I slept on it while waiting for some other guns to sell. Problem is none were nice enough to actually sell and make a difference. My wife got tired of hearing about it, especially after I found out they were discontinued so long story short. I bought one.

I went to sleep on something the other day and when I woke up it was gone ...

Carpe diem!

I went to sleep thinking about the C and woke up early to create a spreadsheet. Modern Warriors' website was very helpful. I also am watching a few on GB and stumbled across "GB Valet". Now I have to look into whether that is a decent way to sell some "extra" stuff...

 

[fwafwow]

If you get a Staccato C or CS, use it, ask me any questions you like, and if after giving it a full on serious training time decide you don’t like it- I’ll buy it from you.

After doing another review of most of the Staccato discussions, I found this again. I've got one in my cart, and if there were not a couple on GB that I'm watching, I would have already pulled the trigger this morning on the new one. (I would never expect to sell it, but this just reinforces what I've been trying to avoid for 6 months.)

Sounds like you're talking yourself into it ... creating a spreadsheet is like buying an engagement ring.

I'm generally an impulse buyer with gear, but I've held off for this long, so it's more like a promise ring.

Now that I’ve flipped to the dark side. Who makes a 19x style 1911. Looking for a full size frame with a 4” slide.

I noticed this weekend shooting FS grip of the staccato and Tisas are much nicer than the shortened STI guardian grip. The additional 1/2”
Keeps my hands down on the grip and I am not jamming my thumb into the safety.

Keep your thumb on top of the safety while firing.

That’s a commander.

That thumb needs to be glued on top of the thumb safety at all times, unless actively putting it back on safe- and then it immediately goes back on top.

Unless it's a big-bore. Then it's cool. Must start with a .5 though.

I'll tell him but he's probably gone interviewing for the Bill's head coaching job.
