You know you love it.

And answer me honestly: is your life not better for other obscure, almost fuddly, things that somehow just happen to perform better than other stuff ... like Aclima fishnets, Varuste wool pants, Vivo Forest Tracker ESCs, Atlantic Ranger sweaters ...?

I might disagree with Form on one or two things (possibly only one), but I don't think I've ever regretted buying something that he's recommended or simply shared about here. I may have regretted not eating some weeks, but not the gear purchases ...

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.

Not to add to your problems, but I'm really impressed with my (single stack) Bul Armoury ... I haven't looked at their double stack models in person, but the tech drawings suggest they might feel slighly wide (all companies should put these on their sites, I've decided, after being able to compare the Bul models online like this).

But I understand they're a lot cheaper in the US than Stacattos. Ironically, Staccatos are only about US$300 more expensive than Buls here ... which is more an indication of how expensive Buls are compared to what they should be.

BUT, I need something to do. The rabbit hole list is long, but studying up on some is much cheaper.

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

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...

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.)
