Gypsyman, nice table top. What are the differences in price between the two? Also, when you draw the Staccato, are you experiencing a thought process to disengage the safety? I found that there was a thought process occurring when drawing my 1911. The action involved was seamless but there was the thought…with the glock, it was not present. Again, nice tabletop.
Thank you bro. Yes, when I first started drawing with the Staccato I thought about the what ifs with the safeties. To be honest, I leave the thumb safety off and only use the grip safety that seems none existent so I don't think about it. When I do practice with the thumb safety I found that it is defeated before the gun comes out of the holster so again a non issue. The issue is when I accidently hit the thumb safety after the draw and don't even notice that I did it. It only happen a few times, but it happen. This is why I will never carry this platform... the safeties... Smh. Nevermind the weight and how tempermental this gun can be. What are your experiences with this? As far as the price difference...is just as significant as the weight differences, double... Lol
@@Gypsyman40 my comment was removed. I have an Ed Brown 1911 and a Dan Wesson 1911 both in 45acp so my examples differs in capacity and caliber, however, they are pigs on the hip, very heavy! I always preferred to carry cocked and locked on the hip and found the thumb safety to be quite natural but there was thought involved with disengaging the safety. This occupied a moment that could be used to prep the target. This might seem to be inconsequential, but micro seconds are important in defense and competition. I also had to consider the safety position after reloading and that takes more time in determine if the safety got bumped on. So, as far as a combat/defensive platform, I found the Glock to be superior. I have been trained to rack the slide from reload so I haven’t explored the slide stop manipulation to release the slide and was possibly convinced that the 1911 required the extra pull on the slide to properly load the fresh round. Not sure if this is correct, but it does reflect on operator cult behavior. It is true that the slide release is better manipulated by the support hand, but that can eat micro seconds. The changing of controls on a 1911 suffers from part availability and cost, as you have discovered. This makes an already expensive pistol more expensive. Still, I am interested in the long term discovery of your experience in evaluating these two capable platforms and in the end, if the Staccato is worth the extra expense…so, shootem up!
@@jimipickle8355 I will have another video up soon. I plan on taking it out next week to really see what it's advantages and short comings will be under stress. Real life scenerios. I just don't under why people would carry this gun edc for reasons other than I paid alot for it. Peace bro and stay tuned. I will only give true opinions on this platform. From the prospective for the average shooter. My skill level will not be considered in my analysis.
@@Gypsyman40 look forward to your new video, and, in my experience, everyone tries to justify why they carry this or that. It is not the gun, it’s the shooter. Preference, then, is just that…what one prefers.
