Staccato renames DUO pistols to DPO, drops price

[TomMcC]

Now you know why there were guys that made money off tuning 2011 mags. I think it was a bit of a cottage industry here in SoCal for the USPSA guys.

I have a real issue with STI. I, and just about everyone I know who's actually bought one has had issues with them.

However, out of the box I shot a 100-2x on a B8 at 25 yards with Speer Lawman.

Out. Of. The. Box. To be truthful, neither of mine ever actually "failed" to fire. I have about 750 rounds through them and they always fed every round in the magazine flawlessly. Always ejected flawlessly. My only issues are that they would fail to lock back on an empty mag. I've had buddies with Duos and the .45 R model that literally would not feed the first round of ball ammo out of a factory mag though. I guess I got "lucky".

But that accuracy is something else.

Read the thread...completely forgot about it. The only thing I noticed on mine was a bit of wear to the slide stop which Staccato said was normal but offered to recoat it...I told them don't worry about it.

I did notice a slight gouge to the mag follower where the release button is..not sure if normal or not maybe Gajin would know.

If not “normal”, a non issue. The flat of the Slide Stop angles down a bit and is fairly sharp-where it contacts follower to effect slide lock back on empty mag.
Steel trumps plastic every time.
This “dimple”/wear mark could probably be eliminated by stoning the contact area of SS, but it would likely affect “lock back” reliability.

Thank you...and I will leave it alone, since it isn't broke, no need for myself to fix it...or screw it up

Excellent plan.

What's the story on Staccato? I never heard of 'em, now they seem to command $$$ and generate some buzz. What's going on?

"Staccato" is now the former "STI" UV.

I’d like to know when his magazines were manufactured? I know he did a review of the previous model along with other 2011s. According to LAV in a recent podcast the newer production magazines are good to go.
