Retired a year ago from the big green machine, been squirreling some $$ aside for a bit to do something with but I wasn't sure what. Was a 1911 guy for a long time then moved to Glocks for the past decade or so, got into doing my own triggers, stippling, simple mods etc, really loved a good upgraded G19.... Then I shot a Staccato P Duo. All I could say was WOW. Went to a local Staccato dealer and they did offer Staccato's (STI has rebranded) military buying program so I kicked out the cash for a XC, threw a new RMR on top and began shooting literally what I consider the best shooting pistol I have ever fired.
Pros: Flattest shooting pistol outside of a .22 that I've fired. Rapid fire and Bill Drill have no problem keeping the RMR dot on target. HST 124+P is easily controllable and is my new carry ammo. Zero malfunctions in 300 rnds (I don't reload... yet... so different factory loads varying in tip and weight). Fit and finish are of course par for the price so excellent but also expected. Came with 3x20 rnd mags as well as the entire plate kit for both RMR and Deltapoint Pro optics. Comp is part of the barrel and machined as a single piece so never a fear of walking off. 2.5lb trigger is exactly as they advertise.
Cons: $$$, damn thing is expensive. My wife is also a shooter so I couldn't fool her that it was a gun I'd had, she caught on fast and I was in trouble until she shot it (now we also have a P Duo with RMR for her and the G19s just became suppressor hosts and truck guns. It's heavy, like had to get used to carrying it heavy. Gun plus RMR plus Surefire 300 plus 20rnds equals much stiffer EDC belt. Last con, virtually impossible to get holsters yet (P Duo is much easier). Contacted Blackpoint for one holster, waiting for that to get here, Got one from a small outfit in Colorado that has been good so far, my Red Hill competition holster just shipped so hoping for good results with them.
Overall, wouldn't look back, love the gun and looking forward to really seeing what I can do with it. If anyone is thinking about one, feel free to PM with questions.
