- Hello folks! In this video we take and in depth look at the STI Staccato XC .
This Staccato XC review and torture test is our biggest video yet and we hope you enjoy it.
The Staccato XC is a high end 2011 and is kinda like the big brother to the Staccato P which has been a real hit for STI Firearms. We take a look at some of the features that set this gun apart, take a look at how it shoots, whats great and whats not so great about it. We also briefly go over the Trijicon SRO and how we like it when paired with this gun
We will have time stamps in the comments below for you to check out each section of this gun review.

Hi thanks for the great video can you please give me your opinion on which one is better out off the sti dvc omni or the sti dvc P ?
amir hidic I couldn’t give you a first hand account between the 2 but there are really only slight differences between those two and even the xc. Sti had a habit of frequent and confusing name changes for what is essentially the same pistol. I think the biggest difference is in the compensator but you likely would be well suited with any of these guns.
Any thoughts on staccato vs Wilson. Seem to be at similar price points fir 2011.
Current dream gun!
Hello there
"... weighing in at about 4 russet potatoes..." SUBBED.
Also, Test #4 was INTENSE. You're a monster. And now I love you.
Making him watch yankee marshal was absolutely over the top! No American made gun deserves that level of torture! It’ll never shoot straight again!
Rick
R P B 7 it was a pretty unreasonable level of psychological torture but I think the adversity built character in it.
This video was so good, I have subscribed for life no matter what you do from this point on.
former pilgrim 🤣🍻
man that was funny (and informative). one of the most entertaining gun reviews i have seen in quite awhile. please keep these coming. when i saw the tag "torture test" i was very concerned but HA!
If only I got more relevant recommendations like this video... thanks for sharing with us, such a fantastic 2011!
Those sneaky Canadian humors jumped out from nowhere!! Subbed for the jokes alone.
I like that you have a sense of humor but you still stick to the point. Thanks for the informative video.
This is awesome. Not only is the content on point start to finish, but I absolutely love that a fellow small channel’s video getting so much traction so quickly. 🤘🏼
This is the best overall review I have seen in a long time by someone who actually appears to be a shooter. I’m sold. I hit subscribe.
That torture test was golden!!!
Just grabbed one of Brents holsters for my XC, one of the fastest turn around times I have had with a custom holster maker. Outstanding product as well. Thanks Hammer Armament!
Centerfire TV thanks buddy! And for anyone who’s curious, Centerfire TV absolutely has the second best Staccato XC review out there! 😉
@@hammerarmament LOL!! Yours is definitely funnier!! I need to work on that!
Creative, informative and entertaining. Thanks!
The torture tests were hilarious!!!!! Thanks for that!!
Great video, i like your humor. Keep up the good work. It's going to be fun seeing your channel grow.
I’m your 100th sub! Love my sti’s. Good to know you make holsters. Good luck with the channel.
Wow! That’s pretty awesome! Shoot an email to brent@hammerarmament.com I think being the 100th subscriber warrants something special...
Hilarious torture test. Thanks for the video my friend. I wish I had the money for this pistol, since I already have a Staccato C2 and love it.
The gravitational pull feature on the magwell is what I've been looking for in a carry pistol. Ordering one asap. Your reviews are the best!
This is one of the funniest reviews yet! Great video! I'm waiting on my Staccato C2 to arrive!
I just found you on UA-cam and I really want to say I love your content man keep it up. You just made a new fan
This was a great review and hilarious torture test! Definitely earned a sub from me!
I just have the regular Staccato P, and I love it. And I have to say, STI makes about the best damn pistol cases I have ever seen. I really like how well designed they are and I ended up buying one for all of my non-STI guns, lol. Good review.
Equally impressive presentation
Appreciated
My holster is famous! 😂 @ 14:55, looks just like the one I ordered from you guys for my Staccato P... and so far, I love it! You make a solid and quality holster!👍👍
Keen eye😉, we are glad to hear you like it!
Great weapon. I like it. Thanks for a video.
Great holsters from Hammer, Brent stays on top of his business.
Glad I stumbled across your channel. Good to see some reasonable, competent and to-the-point guntubing. Appreciated the "torture test." Wish more folks would ditch the amateur clickbait guntubers and amplify people like this. Thanks.
Great review. Thanks.
that was a heck of a torture test. you got my sub.
this is such a well done video. you should do more gun reviews.
Love my Xc. Great video. Shows I def need to shoot it more
After getting the xc its my daily carry best shooting pistol I've ever owned so far she ate every round I've ran through it I'm pretty definitely impressed
I’m a strong advocate of carrying the most capable gun that you can conceal.
The Glock bit at the end was the best part
This guy is funny 🤣 and I'm subscribing‼️
This is by far the best gun review video I've ever seen, fantastic!
Just found the channel. Love the content and your holsters as well.
Blake Presson we’ll have more videos soon! The rona messed up film schedule.
Great video subscribed!
Absolutely hilarious torture testing at the end, especially with Yankee. No idea how this channel doesnt have a ton of subs but ill do my part!
Much appreciated, kind sir!
THE best torture test ever. And apparently glocks and lawyers have something in common
Ha ha ha
Great video
Very informative review. Well done.
Thanks!
@@hammerarmament I love my Staccato C. Adding a Staccato P soon. Do you have any thoughts on the new grip compared to the original stippled grip?
I don’t have much of an opinion one way or the other. I liked the old grips, but haven’t had any issues with this one either. Surprisingly grippy from what you would think from the looks of it.
Nice review, just won one today on an app raffle type thing. So seems like I got a very nice addition to my gun collection.
That’s a pretty wicked prize man! Congrats. It’s a great gun.
good old motomaster Canadian Tire Battery. Great job Big Red!!
I contemplated selling my CZ Czechmate and buying this pistol for a about 30 sec... not happening. That a BEAUTY though, wow! The CZ's trigger is whopping 1.5 lbs and will make anyone a professional shooter. I've never felt a better trigger in my life. I'm not kidding... Thank you for your great video. I love the Yankee Marshall torture test!! That's the BEST!!
We like our Shadow 2, been looking at the XC as an addition
That's awesome!
You deserve way more subscribers
Great Video---you are a funny guy!
Went on a UA-cam spiral and ended up registering for the hero program. Damn it. Haha, great video though.
Epic torture test hahaa especially having to endure those videos
Spiton the tip. Subed😂
I agree that the gun is made to shoot fast and it's hard to resist doing so. I always end up burning more ammo than planned.
It’s all fun and games till you see the bottom of the ammo can.
I love getting stickers with my expensive gun/accessory purchases 😂👍
Yeah the dessicant is a nice treat. Delicious 😋
Can you do a video on the best ammo for stopping power, using this gun, thanks.
Great video! Up until the torture test. I couldn't take it I had to close my eyes and put my fingers in my ears. Lol, One day soon this firearm will be mine! I blew my knee out during fire training 7 months ago 2 surgeries later and 3 days a week of physical therapy when I get back to work this pistol will be the gift to myself for working my ass off.
MEDIC MIKE good luck buddy. Work hard and get that thang!
Hi what holster we're you using for the staccato xc? Thanks
Nice optic
I'll take one for edc and home protection 😌
Seeing Yankee Marshall clips triggered my "horrible gun videos" PTSD! Forcing the XC to watch? Oh, the gunmanity!
Torture test as fu*kn hilarious, but it was cruel to force those videos on the XC. Thanks for the review
I shed a tear when you sprinkled some grains of dirt on the gun just to take this piss out of these channels who "torture test" guns and holy shit, the slide actually failed to go into battery, in a 4300 dollars gun. That's more disappointing than when I found out that Satan Claus wasn't real, at 33 yrs old.
Welcome to the world of race guns... there isn't a quality 2011 out there thats gonna run with fine dirt in the action. They're too precisely fitted
You dont take a Ferrari off roading. You take a jeep for that lol. I'd still every day carry this thing.
"He shot the guy 20 times in the face before he hit the ground" 😄
To take dirt like that you can do 2 things, either loosen tolerances or use a sealed design. Both are pretty much impossible with a race pistol. Even an HK mark 23 which is about as accurate as it gets while also being able to take a beating won't match the groups or speed the staccato can achieve.
@@Kneong Y'see, that's my doubt right there. At what point do these tighter groupings just become diminishing returns are no longer worth it? Should the competition world be always pushing for tighter tolerances and ever tighter groups when none of these boutique 2011s can't handle real world combat use? That's like those tube-fed shotguns with fucking massive 11+round capacity and ridiculously oversized muzzle breaks on them. At what point does this become too much and completely divorced from reality?
@@Barbaroossa Never. Its a sport it doesn't matter whether its combat practical. Should we abolish Nascar and F1 because the cars arent good on the street?
Subcribed...good review...
I'm surprised you dont have more subscribers! Awesome video! How does this particular firearm function with hollow points or ammo with larger grain weight? The reason I ask is because I have had history with 2 STI pistols so far. My costa carry comp is very finicky when it comes to certain ammo types. It absolutely hates Browning 124 grain ammo but functions well with federal 124gr. It eats even cheap 115gr without issue but I havent gotten thr chance to do extensive tests with other hollow points i bought 3 more anmo types to test but then the pandemic hit and now I can't find any place that will supply reliable ammo at a reasonable price. My stacatto p (the previous gen) ate literally everything I put through it. It was pretty amazing but I had to let go of it at the time. Now this one is on my radar.
CRYMTZ I shoot primarily 147gr and tested it with 124’s as well as some 150gr federal syntech. It hasn’t had any consistent function issues though occasionally when loading a round won’t go into battery( still rare).
I tested critical duty 135gr and 124gr and it functioned. But I didn’t test them extensively.
@@hammerarmament ah gotcha, thanks for the info! My local shop has one just not sure if I'm committed to getting it just yet. Thanks again man
Nutty gun
Nice ultra spartan background. One axe. One mag.
1:00...”It’s like fuckin cheatin.” 🤣
I’m a grown ass man! Lol
So this or the Artemis? Having a hard time deciding.
You should have more subscribers than what you currently have. This is a well-made, very informative, and highly entertaining video. Subscribing is a no brainer. Looking forward to more content like this one. Excellent job!
On the topic of this pistol, while I like this particular offering from STI, I would still rather save a few more extra $$$ and get a true custom 2011, like ones from SVI, Atlas, PT, and Limcat, among others. Just my 2 cents. Depending on what you’re after, competition or carry, you can also check out Nighthawk Custom and Wilson Combat. Both make fine quality pistols that are within the same price range as this STI XC.
On the subject of optics, the trijicon SRO is hard to beat.
All said, if you’re willing to drop that amount of cash on a pistol, best to try ‘Em out so you don’t end up with buyer’s remorse.
Stay safe everyone!
We appreciate the kind words! And totally agree that there are some other fantastic options out there especially if you want a specific comp or carry gun, in this relative price range.
Theeeeee best torture test...ever!!
I give my stickers to my daughter. She puts them in her room.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the torture test was brutal. Especially the sand sprinkles and the yankee Marshall watching. That falls under cruel and unusual. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Man great video!!!
One year later....thoughts ? Unless you did a video already, I just subscribed..I did a couple STI transfers for customers and I tossed a couple range passes and one gave me the honor of the first magazine...massively in love
I’ve got a long term review coming soon so keep your eyes peeled for it.
@@hammerarmament Roger that!
This was hilarious
Have you had any problems with the SRO being so close to the ejection port?
David Mussa i never had that issue once, though I’ve heard others say it happens. I think ammo might be a factor there.
It made me want to puke. I burst out laughing. Just ordered a CS, it will be my first staccato. I have shot all kinds of guns throughout my life. I have a feeling after I shoot the CS, I will want to sell all my other guns and go strait Staccato. Will see.
Ive been debating getting a staccato but I havent seen anything on changing those front fiber optics to Tritium. If i find it ill buy but until then I cant do Fiber Ops lol just a preference thing for me
I’m not sure what it is but I find that I pick up tritium a lot easier than fiber optics as well.
But the best option is to just go with a red dot. Hard to beat a staccato with an RMR.
How large is the grip? I wear large glove but find some double stacks are too wide.
If you’re used to single stacks it might feel a bit chonky at first but not excessively. I think the shape and size work very well and don’t believe I’ve heard that as a complaint from other staccato owners.
😂😂 this is gold
Excellent review. By the way, what type of belt knife is that? I'm looking for something in just that type.
This one was from Toor Knives but they dont make this exact one anymore. It was called the viper but their current version is a bit different.
Not bad for a beginner
Really want the XC but at $5K that’s a tough purchase decision. Love my Staccato P
Check out our updated review( 16,000 round review). It might give you a better idea of the value and help you decide one way or another.
where can i find a holster for the XC that is compatible with safariland QLS fork?
We have them on our website.
Have a look at our Thunder model:
hammerarmament.com/product/thunder-classic/
@@hammerarmament thanks man
Subscribed. Fuckin' shoot, son!!! Impressive!
For the SRO, how is the ruggedness in comparison to the RMR?
I cant say for certain. It appears to be well built but I didn’t do any rugged testing on it. I believe sage dynamics did a video on that though.
@@hammerarmament thanks!
Torture test was hilarious
that is flatter than the flat earther’s theory of flat earth 😂 very nice pistol sir 👌
Good humor. Fantastic gun. Would love to order one but there is a massive wait in South Africa to even see an STI gun.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Bernard We have them in-stock at www.V1Tactical.com
John Andriulli Thank you Sir but can you export to South Africa. I’m more than happy to pay but we only really have cz , glock and sig. I’ll pay for the gun in full if I’m guaranteed import into SA. License here I can sort out. It’s just getting the actual item here.
Bernard please send me an email to support@v1Tactical.com
John Andriulli 👍🏼
"Weighs about 4 potatoes"
Subbed
Can you swap the mag release to the other side?
I don’t believe so.
Four russet potato's, that's light! Lol
Did the few grains of sand seriously keep it from going into battery?
It was more likely the cold and the oil I was using. I’ve actually had it much dirtier than this while it was warmer and it ran flawless. But it doesn’t like freezing temps with the Lucas oil gun lube. I think it’s a little too thick for the cold.
The torture test...the humanity 😂🤣😅😅😅😆
Do an XL yet?
I haven’t. From what I understand they are essentially the new version of the DVC 3 gun, which is a pretty decent 2011.
Whats the difference between the xl and xc? And which would shoot flatter?
Not today Nor yesterday the XL has a longer barrel and slide, therefore a longer sight radius. But I don’t believe it has the ability to mount a slide mounted optic. I’ve shot the previous versions of what is now called the XL and the XC shoots flatter.
@@hammerarmament ah, ty.
That torture test was hard to watch, esp the 4th test.
Aawwww dude you had me at the torture test 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Does it shoot 9mm major? Will the sights co-witness with a delta point pro?
HeyyyJP can’t confirm either question. I was able to do lower 1/3 cowitness with the SRO. I’m not an advocate of absolute cowitness on any gun though. As to whether it can handle 9mm major, I kinda doubt it but that’s a question for Staccato/STI. I could be wrong.
@@hammerarmament thanks for the reply!
@@hammerarmament I called them up, they said that they don't make any of their guns shoot 9mm major. They said to call Taran Tactical for that. Also they will lower 1/3 co witness on the dpp.
HeyyyJP hey man thanks for the follow up! That’s good info to have!
@@hammerarmament no worries, called Taran, they're not selling custom Sti's anymore sooooo, there's that.
Lmao the Yankee Marshall jokes were the best part. It’s glad to see other UA-camrs think he’s a Fuckin potato as well
