Staccato C4X

[RussDXT]

I’m curious to know the general consensus on the new Staccato C4X.

It’s quite expensive, but considering that it’s a carry gun that allows for rapid target engagement, does it perform better than a 24 C or the CS?

I’ve always been a fan of the XC. Would this gun behave similarly?

I was planning to buy a 3.6, but this has me reconsidering that decision.

Let’s bump this up. I handled a C4X at a gun store and liked it much better than I thought I would. The magwell made the grip perfect for me and it balanced extremely well.

I was pleasantly surprised by the trigger, on all of the HD line. Especially given that they're Series 80-esque, with the trigger-pull also disengaging the firing pin block.

My C24's trigger is pretty crap by 1911/2011 standards...almost feels more like a rolling break than a crisp 1911 break. I've been going back and forth on getting Infinity internals for it, and haven't yet for 2 reasons. First, I'm shooting a bit better with the C24 than my DWXc, and am very happy with the performance. The second is that I suspect the existing trigger will have max reliability and durability over time, compared to one with a trigger job or aftermarket internals, regardless of quality. At least for the only C24 I've shot, compared to a couple of HDs I've handled, I'd say the HDs have at least as good of a trigger, if not a bit better.

This next bit is all hearsay, so take it for what it's worth, but there are only really 2 things that seem to keep coming up with the HDs. Some seem to have some reliability teething problems, that may or may not be related to needing hotter ammo to cycle reliability. Can't tell if it's the individual guns with the individual shooters and those circumstances, or if it's just an early-production issue on a new model that hasn't quite been tuned yet, but it's something that does seem to pop up that I haven't heard on the C24s. The other thing is that they seem to have a notable hot-spot on the thumb safety for a lot of guys, just inside the thumb knuckle in the web of the shooting hand.

Overall, I wouldn't take an HD in general over the C24, but in reality it's probably like comparing Ferraris and Lambos - nitpicking on the edges, mostly of personal preference, over two exceptionally good gun designs.

I have seen a lot of variability in Staccato triggers. The store I was at the other day had a lot in stock and I tested the trigger on a variety of C, CS, P, P4.5, and the C4X. The C4X series 80 trigger was in the top 3 of the in-stock Staccatos I tried. I was surprised by how good it was, and how variable the series 70 triggers were.

I just bought my first Staccato 2 weeks ago. I got the HD 3.6. I never complain about recoil on a 9 mm. Some guns I have to fight a little more at speed but with the correct grip it can be easily accomplished. The first shot I took had me smiling. People called that gun snappy in a review I watched. I laughed out loud the moment I fired it. It had the softest recoil impulse I've ever felt in a small firearm. Am I going to spend $1,000 more to get something slightly flatter? Absolutely not.

I purchased a 3.6HD as well and have been happy. I am no pistol expert by any means. I have 500 rounds down the pipe with no issues.

My 3.6hd will be arriving sometime in the next few weeks. It'll be interesting to compare it to my C model.

The 3.6HD arrived yesterday and took it out today to run a couple hundred through it ( and compare to the Staccato C). I wanted the 3.6 to be close to G19 size but have same manual of arms as my Staccato C (and the previous P). The 3.6 is very close in size to a G19, barrel/slide being a little shorter (ignore the comp on the G19). Its slightly "snappier" than the C which is to be expected. But not ridiculously so. The dot doesn't come back as quick as with the C, but with more time it should (that's a me issue).

Two things I noticed. 1) because of the lack of grip safety it fits my hand just a little bit differently. I noticed this in the web where my thumb connects to my hand. 2) The slide is thinker than the C, so I noticed more rubbing on my thumb as compared to the C.

It comes with the Magar steel mags. It also functioned no problem with Glock 19 mags and Magpul G19 mags. No hiccups with 115 ball, my preferred
124 ball, 124 Gold Dots and some 147 Gold dots.

I should have just ordered new holsters while I was waiting for it to arrive. But in the back of my mind I was thinking "I have a couple holster for the C and the old P, what if this fits?" Well I doesn't. So now I'll order new holsters.

So it's not a true 2011, it's pretty close. But I like that it uses mags I already have. Hope this helps someone.

Pick one, which are you keeping?
