Thank you for posting that. WOW.... is about all I can say. Did Triarc ever comment on the video? I can only read the top two.

After seeing that, I think I’ll pass on making them a recommendation from here forward. Lack of attention to detail and poor QC was astonishing.

Well that wasn’t encouraging.
Can you get a (1911/2011) gun to run properly? Sure, but at what price point should that be unnecessary?

I’d had some issues with several STIs in the last year and a half.
Barrel fit, which did not affect function, rather accuracy and extractor fitment, or rather lack of- which DID affect function.
Fortunately these were resolved fairly easily without sending back to STI, but should have not been necessary in my book.

I think the Staccatos are pretty good. Yes, you may have to send it back, that's likely part of their cost savings. I have a Stacato P en route, but there are much more expensive guns I wouldn't bother with.

Sorry, I haven’t been able to log in due to work, that’s the video but it isn’t the first one I’ve heard of being in that shape by a long shot.

A quote from Chambers on another forum about this video:

“I'm not saying that every gun from a company is as bad as this one...but in this case, every gun I've seen from this particular company has had similar issues.”

That tells me a lot right there.

I would certainly be willing to take the word of someone like him on the matter. That said, I think Staccato has gotten the closest to a well-functioning 2011. Most of us are used to Glocks and thus expect no issues out of the box - a Glock it ain't, for better and worse. The better just happens to far outweigh the worse.
