    I still think someday you're gonna want to try a classic single-stack 1911 too. Nothing wrong with having both--except for the hit to the budget.
    Absolutely. A twin turbo charged V6 is cool, but everyone's gotta have a naturally aspirated V8 as well
    Why do the loudest do the least?

    Well done Euro.

    Does the "new"/2020 version come with the Dawson "Tool Less" guide rod?
    I would imagine it does, they are nice for ease of detail strip/take down.

    Look forward to your impressions.

    I carry polymer guns or small metal frame guns, but for me no pistol is as enjoyable to shoot at the range as a 1911.

    I really wanted a 9mm 2011, and the Staccato seemed like the only way to go until I got to Nighthawk ($5,000) money.

    For that kind of price, I can literally buy a Staccato, throw it in the garbage, buy another one, throw that in the garbage too, and still be $1,000 better off.
    There wasn't much feedback on the 2020s when I bought my Staccato P, but it had everything I wanted at a price I could live with. Mine wasn't without some minor teething issues in the first couple hundred rounds (I had not cleaned it after purchase - a Glock in that sense it is not), but it's been flawless since...with one caveat - every once in a great while, from SLIDELOCK ONLY, the first round of the next mag will nosedive. I don't consider it a big issue and I've never even tried to narrow it down to certain mags, because I've never had the issue while slingshotting the slide. Besides that, it's more accurate than me and has the softest recoil/allows the fastest follow ups of any 9mm I've owned. I'm considering the C2 to replace some Glocks.

    Whoever previously said it's heavier than a Glock...uhhh yeah, it's solid steel with 3 more rounds in the most common mags for it.

    What are you guys running for mags? Factory STI with/without Upgraded springs?

    Or is it just worth shoveling the cash out for MBX?

    The Gen 2 STI mags are GTG JP.
    I have a dozen I’ve run 15K rds through with no issues.
    The MBX, while probably the Gold Standard, haven’t been necessary.

    My experience mirrors gaijin in number of mags, round count, and results. The Gen 2 mags are solid.
