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.

I think the pistol that comes closest to feeling like a 2011 is a Glock 20/21 Gen4, in terms of grip size.

The barrel is an absolute hog. One beefy barrel. I took it apart and cleaned it and was amazed at thick the barrrel is.
If you wanted a threaded barrel it would need to STI
