Staccato CS

[DJTC45]

Just picked this up from my FFL, my new Staccato CS. Feels good in my hands, Trigger pull is good but I'm gonna change it out for a flat faced trigger. It's close in size of my two Staccato single stack C's, and the C2 I have. I've got a Holosun 508T coming in tomorrow so I'll mount it and get everything ready to head to the range and run it against the other 3.

That's nice looking for sure, but I  have to ask... what makes these 1911's worth so much? I am all about spending money on quality. I don't typically cheap out but I just cannot see what makes a handgun worth $2500 (or more). Smaller batches, rarity perhaps?

That's an honest question by the way, not being snarky at all. I've never asked anyone until now, but you have 4... so I assume you have your reasons.

In my head I can go buy an excellent rifle and an excellent handgun for the same price.

Oh who am i kidding, my wife aint gonna let me spend another $2,500 on guns right now.

Well these are known as a 2011, the two C's I have use a Single Stack Mag. and the C2 and this CS uses Double Stack Mags. These are in 9mm and I got into these a couple of years ago, I had five at one time but sold two of them, P 4.14 Full Rail the other one I sold was the P DPO 4.14. I carry my C's more they are a little more comfortable due to the size. These are soft fast shooting guns, are they worth $2000+ well you'd have to make that decision for your self If you ever shot one of the Staccato's you'd see what I'm saying about how they shoot. And there are other brands of the 2011 that are $4000+ are they worth it, probably to someone they are. Downfall to the 2011 Platform is the cost of Mags. $60+ and that turns some people away from the 2011 style guns. Where are you located at, I would be willing to bring them all to a range with ammo and let you run a few rnds. down them then you can tell me if they are worth it, I live in the Whitehouse area if you ever go to any of the indoor ranges around the Nashville area I gladly meet you. At one time I had 12+ 1911's, that included Wilson Combat CQBE's that were built to order, at least four Les Baer's, a couple of NightHawk's, Colts, and Springfield's, but I sold all but one Wilson Combat CQBE, were they worth the money did they shoot any better than a $499 1911, probably not it all depends on who's behind the trigger. But every one of those preformed like they should, and I never had a problem with any of them. I decided to get away from the 45acp due to my Cancer Diagnosis that I got two years ago, the 45 just hammered my hands to much due to the Neuropathy which is a side effect from the Chemo, the Staccato's in 9mm that I carry now and shoot don't beat my hands up like the 45acp did. Just let me know if you ever want to try one out we could make arrangements to meet at a range all you need to do is pay your range fee and I'll bring the rest. I'll get some pics of the other three Staccato's I have and post them here. Not sure I answered your question.

I'm sorry to hear about the diagnosis sir. All the best wishes for you there. Also thanks for the writeup.

Well I tore it all down the other day to get ready for some parts I ordered for it. I got the Holosun 508T, Wilson Combat Bullet Proof Single Side Thumb Saftey, and a Cheely Medium Flat Trigger that I had already. Everything went smoothly, few swipes of the file and the Trigger dropped in without a problem, then I did the same to the new Thumb Saftey and it went in without a problem. The Thumb Saftey clicks on and off with a snap but smoothly so off to the range the middle of next week and run some rnds. down it and the other three I have.

Here's a pic with all the Staccato's I've got so far.
