    I done did it, Staccato P Duo

    I bit the bullet and grabbed a Staccato.



    Going to try these out today and see how she runs.



    and these handloads:

    My C2D has liked everything I have tried. Smooth as butter.

    Here’s a “FWIW” re handloads for your Staccato PB.

    I run Zero/Precision Delta 124 JHPs for range loads.
    ALL 7 Staccatos/STIs that have been in my hands from our group have had relatively long leades, which allowed for longer than standard COAL.
    THE 1911 (2011) was designed around a cartridge; the .45 ACP, which had/has a COAL of +-2.270” in Ball configuration.
    They (1911/2011) generally run more reliably with a longer COAL.

    The point is; in 9mm I run a COAL (124 JHPs) of around 1.140”-1.150”, which is long for a 124 gr. JHP, which are usually around 1.120” or shorter for factory ammo.
    The 5 pups that run STI or SS 1911 run the same COAL. No one has feeding issues with either platform.
    (This being over 200K rds of 9mm over the last 5 years)
    You guys might try a longer than “book” COAL (drop check in barrel first for ability to chamber) if you encounter any feed problems.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    G, thanks for the info.

    It ate everything without issue. It also ate a box of Blazer Brass 124's. Another funny is, I put my RDS on and it was perfectly zeroed. Zero adjustment needed.

    I ordered a Magwell and hope I like the feel of the grip better. Its going to take a minute for me to adjust to the grip. When aiming the gun, I am usually pointing to the left and have to adjust. I'm sure practice will fix this issue.

    STI was out of 20 round mags, so I ordered a couple of 26 round mags.

    Great to hear..I ran my C2 last weekend..no issues with bulk 115 grain, 124 Blazer and 124 HP Golden Sabre..

    The gun is more accurate than me, I also pulled a bit left, so I practice d some dry fire.

    congrats!

    How long until you post your dope for 800 yards? Lol
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    LOL, maybe 100-200, but 800 I might run out of ass on 147's. I did order the NF, so we good.
