New Staccato C just discontinued.

[RockAndSage]

To me if your at a full size grip go with the C.

I see no point to the full size cs grip (didn’t even know it existed yesterday).

Agree. The only thing that might make a difference is if you wanted a longer sight-radius for irons, but a shorter grip for concealed...in that case, a compact-grip C might make a little sense. But it's kind of a small difference. For some people, there also might be enough difference in the recoil impulse between the C and CS to matter too, if they shot them, as apparently the CS is sprung differently than the C, with the dual-spring system, IIRC.

In my mind though, it makes more sense to think of the CS as the Officer's equivalent, short and compact, and the C as the Commander as a concealable but more all-around gun, G19-ish in size. Then again though, people like choice, so there's that...

I don't necessarily need one. I like how they look and they seem to function pretty well. So it could potentially be my everyday. I am a big dude 6'6" 375lbs with a decent sized hand. So the full size is likely the way.

Lol, yeah, I don't think you'd get much benefit in shootability or concealability by going with a compact grip module.

I have small hands and have no issues with the compact grip so I decided to get the compact C ad the barrel length is usually not the limiting factor in concealment for me. Pretty sure I'll be able to use it for about everything I need a 9mm handgun for outside of deep concealment.

Rokslide hits again $$$. Picked up a new C with the full size grip today, thanks to this thread. They had a C with the short grip for $500 less, and I almost went with it but finally decided the full size felt better.

If I could only have one pistol that would be it.

Anyone carrying a C or C2? Looking for iwb holster recs. Thinking about an LAS Shogun, but interested to hear what is working for others.

adding in another positive review for the tenicor velo5. Even though it has a built in wedge, I've added a t1c small wedge to tuck it in just a bit more and provide a softer point of contact. I wear it most days, all day, and have no issues. I can generally wear a loose fitting t-shirt without much printing (C full size grip, 6'3", 235lb for reference)

It's really a shame stacatto didn't go all in on this platform, releasing a P/XC/XL with the C24/CS mag.

They could have had a high performance line and a Glock line.

Dropping the legacy 2011 lineup would have made more sense since it's such a crowded space.

I don't get these people.

Can't really speak to round count or cycle life in the Staccato C's mags, but I'd be surprised if they weren't excellent. You can also get new mag springs from a couple of places though.

The number of spare mags to get depends a little on your mindset, what you want to do with the gun, and expected future availability of mags. For me personally, it's a lot, if for no other reason than it makes your time at the range much more efficient, and it gives you the ability to pull a bad mag without going short on mags. It also buffers against things like mag bans and supply chain issues.

In general though, for a safe queen, 3-5 is fine. If this is CCW, a minimum of 5-8, broken in over time across all your training. As in, don't leave 1 pristine - make sure they all work over time and through a good number of cycles, before setting a couple aside for EDC.

For me personally, I'll be running this new gun hard over years, and large numbers of spare mags are a high priority for any gun getting worked that hard. I just picked up 5 factory mags and 5 additional MBX 19rd mags with Black Friday discounts. Given there are only 2 guns I know of that use this mag, just to be safe in case of future availability issues, I'll probably pick up another 5 or so in a month or two.

Also, be sure to number your mags - it never ceases to amaze me how many malfunctions occur that are just not obviously related to the mag. Yet, the same malfunction happens on the same mag, but you won't know that without numbering them.

I had these mag bases for a different gun laser numbered at a local gun shop for a few bucks each, and have been super happy with it, compared to labels or writing numbers on tape:

My C was received today. Two magazines isn’t going to cut it for me. Any updates on the 10 you purchased and whether you would lean towards MBX over OEM? Were there any other aftermarket you considered?

Hey, congrats on getting the C. I just keep on getting more impressed with mine.

Regarding mags, OEM are 17 rounders, MBX are 19s. I ended up getting the only extended basepads I could find in stock during Black Friday for the OEMs - Continuous Precision's +2s. That gave me 10 mags all carrying 19rds. They do not have the same floorplate dimensions, btw, and to the best of my knowledge there aren't any extended basepads for the MBX.

When I first received the MBXs, frankly, the follower looked like gen 1 3D printing. Just terrible layering, look and feel rough as hell. These followers are a little wonky, so I have concerns about tilt and reliability. Presently, in my mind, they are range mags only. But, I am open minded to them proving themselves over time. I have thus far had zero problems with them, but I probably have less than 20 cycles on each yet.

The factory OEMs are $70 each, and the extended base pads are $35, getting you 19rds. The MBXs are $109 for the 19 rounders. So it's a wash price wise.

I'm right at the cusp of unhappy with the MBXs, because of the crap follower manufacturing, but they've given me no performance problems so far. But I also wouldn't recommend them yet. I'll be getting another 5 of the OEMs at some point soon, but will continue keeping the MBXs in rotation.

EDIT: All the the mags load tight - the tightest I can recall having ever used, for any gun. Last round requires a lot of force with your thumb, and when you're shooting in volume that gets old. Do yourself a favor and pick up one of these. They work far better than I expected, and far faster than loading mags manually. After using one for the Staccato, I picked one up for the DWX Compact, and it made everything extremely efficient. Probably cut mag loading time by about 2/3.

The speed bee is basically a requirement- tightest mags I've ever encountered. Stock mags haven't had any hiccups in my C

Thanks! I have a speed loader for other 9mm pistol mags but will confirm it works well with the new mags.

Am I correct that Atlas also makes magazines that fit? If so, has anyone tried them? EDIT - I have the 2024 model.

I picked up a CS 23 last year used locally with a RMR, TRL7, and two holsters. After the discontinuing of the C/CS; I made sure to order some more CS mags on the Staccato Black Friday sale.
