Staccato - talk me out of it…😳

I just got some bonus money from work I wasn’t expecting and my wife said to spoil myself. I’ve got more hunting rifles and nightforce/trijicon scopes than I use. I have traditionally been a glock guy. Own and use a handful of them…never had a nice handgun. Everything I have read about the Staccato CS appeals to me. Is there something better I should be looking at for around the same price point? Any reason not to get a staccato? Any bad experiences with them? @Formidilosus ?

I guarantee you will find more joy donating excess money to the less fortunate than buying an expensive pistol that will see little to no use

ETA: I mean that genuinely, as in charity, not as in "gimme yo money" ha

They’re supposed to be sweet pistols. Only thing I’d say would be to potentially wait until the Staccato C comes out and compare the C, C2, and CS and see what you like best. Assume this would potentially be a carry gun? If not, the P is a really good full size option.

Buy the Staccato. Reward yourself for your hard work.
The trigger on the one I shot was unbelievable.
Working the slide was as slick as any auto I ever felt.
I don't know if any work had been done to pistol or if they are all this nice.
But the Staccato.

For the money (I know, but the high-end 1911/2011 game is a black hole) - in my opinion it’s a great pistol. I’d stay away from both atlas and Nighthawk 2011’s - the guns eat themselves after a few thousand rounds.

I have several staccatos, of them, the P model and the XL models are phenomenal and extraordinarily easy to shoot. Get some MBX mags and don’t look back.

I really liked my staccato c with red dot. The original C was a single stack, not the new iteration.
I’ve got a CS on order. I expect to enjoy it every bit. My range session is usually a g43 or p365 FN509c w/ apex trigger and red dot and when I had it, a staccato. You likely won’t regret it. Especially if you get a red dot version.

Badass platform. Your plastic guns will be left at home.

I picked up a prodigy a while back. Spur of the moment kinda deal. Its almost dependable now:ROFLMAO: For a toy, I love the thing. My cz's and m&p's get left at home these days.

Knowing what I know now, and how much I like the platform. I would buy the staccato if I could do it over. I'll still end up with one, one of these days.

This is my thought as well - I had a C2 that I ultimately sold and now I have a P. Have fondled the CS and it's really nice, but I am waiting for the C in 4".

The CS doesn't conceal quite as well as other offerings and I like a 4" barrel.

Just my thoughts.

The P is an absolutely fantastic duty, home defense, range gun!

Picked up a CS a few months ago. It is awesome. Sold most of my other pistols because I immediately lost interest in shooting or carrying them. CS conceals great for me aiwb, but strong side is a little tough.

My wife and I each have C2’s. My only regret is not getting them with the slides already cut for a red dot. It is easily the smoothest shooting pistol I’ve ever handled.

In all seriousness do whatever you wish, maybe add something in there for your wife.
