@@Dezwrr you are very welcome, and thank you for watching

@@mantelmann13 just fast forward that’s what I do

@@A_Son_Of_Yahuah So by that logic a $10,000 sniper rifle should be able to hit a target at 1,000 yards with iron sights.

@@gearrunner I'm not talking about a sniper rifle. Duh 🥴

@@A_Son_Of_Yahuah I’m just using your logic. If a gun is expensive then you shouldn’t need a red dot or optic. Thats pretty much what you said.

@@Challengerfun1974 I love mine. It’s all I’ve carried since I sighted it in.

@@gearrunner On my (polish market) Staccato generally is quite new brand but CS is one of their bestsellers now😉

@@spencerwarren9219 yes, they just started carrying them about a month ago

@@mooktemas6800 Thank you, it’s good to be back. I have videos scheduled 2 days a week for the next month. So I should be back on track now.

@@gearrunner nice! How’s the shoulder?

@@mooktemas6800 it’s feeling much better, thank you for asking

@@gearrunner glad to hear that. Take care, and God bless.

@@mikemccurry3943 thank you and I really prefer the RMR over the cc because you get a larger window if I’m not mistaken. It really doesn’t look to big for the pistol.

@@googoo-gjoob I’ll have to try that. I usually turn it around but have never tried just not wearing it

@@gearrunner great! Your a great reviewer. I enjoyed your channel.

@@williamcarter1381 I’m going to order some and try it. Thank you

@@mdx9286 I have several subs with thousands of rounds through them with no issues

@@gearrunner Maybe I'll put a dab of blue lock-tite on the screw to see if that fixes the issue.

@@mdx9286 I don’t know why it would be backing off. I tighten mine down with a nickel and just cinch it down good and they’ve never came loose

Perhaps using the wrong key? I had an issue like that running the wrong key on a Bul Armory with a 7A

@@donniebarajas8564 I’ll have to try that

Congrats you ended up trying different pistol platforms and decided what works best for you. Now instead of trying to use your personal experience to say others won’t enjoy the product and stir them to your personal preferences, maybe give a fair and balanced assessment. YT content creators as you brought up, if you want I can post a link or a few of some running a CS just fine. If you are concerned about reliability again there’s evidence of some that have been ran hard. S&W carry comp, one it’s not an actual comp it’s ported. Two most YT content creators are saying it’s great while one in particular has listed a few negatives, maybe was just his sample size though. If you want to carry full size stuff then should have skipped the C2 all together and went with a P.

@@marcusjohnson5839 wrong on many levels, I suggested not buying the CS, I did not tell anyone they would not like it. And I did not claim the NEWLY released Carry Comp is a pistol with a compensator, you have no idea what you are taking about, S&W gave it that name, look it up. I now have three M&P’s, but plan to trade-in the two older 2.0’s to my local store for a Carry Comp polymer Compact. The Staccato P you mentioned is heavier and slightly larger than the M&P metal Carry Comp, which is the max weight and size I prefer to EDC carry. The metal Carry Comp only has a 4.2” barrel, so it’s basically a M&P 2.0 Compact with a 2-round longer grip and a very slightly longer barrel, not 5”. It’s also nearly a third the price of a C2 or a CS, which is easier to accept if you decide it’s not good for you and then resale it at a big $ loss. I would rather carry a more reliable striker-fire than a tightly machined 1911/2011 any day. The Staccato’s need much more frequent cleaning lubing (Staccato Service said run’m wet). I’m not making an untested claim, I’ve carried M&P 2.0’s for four years and the C2’s (one with iron sights, one with Red Dot) for three years since they were first released and participated in a number of NRA training and competition events, which the M&P’s never experienced a FTF or FTE issue. I used both in the same number of events, twice the C2’s experienced double feeds and FTE issues that resulted in being sent back to Staccato. I’ve never had a firing or ejection issue with a M&P, yeah they are loose, they rattle and clunk, but they typically will not bind as a machined pistol (Staccato). I only ran Federal Syntech in all my pistols, which Staccato told me would work fine. I WOULD recommend folks to buy a Staccato for a fun gun for the range or competition if you can afford it, but not for EDC. I did feel much safer carrying the Staccato since it had a fantastic safety and needed it since my trigger pulls were less than 4-pounds with a very short take-up. The Carry Comp pull is 4.5 pounds with a long take-up. You can be butt-hurt I do not recommend the CS, but I just gave my opinion, people should buy what they want, that’s what our freedom gives us.

​@@marcusjohnson5839, thanks for your valuable input, and I would like your opinion on your Staccato's versus a newer version striker-fire for EDC. I think you misstated my comment(s), I did not say " others won’t enjoy the product", and as far as you mentioned "maybe give a fair and balanced assessment", I did so. I was trying to be brief to give the readers a break, so I'll go a bit more in depth on my Staccato findings since you had an issue with it. I also think you glossed-over the pain and frequent need of cleaning a 1911/2011 as compared to a striker-fire. I currently have three M&P 2.0's. One iron sights 4" Compact purchased nearly 4-years ago (when 2.0 first released), purchased one 4" Compact optics-ready 2.0 and added a Holosun red dot. Then a few weeks ago purchased as S&W calls it "Performance Center M&P9 M2.0 METAL Carry Comp pistol", which I never claimed it had a compensator on it, I earlier stated the name S&W gave it. The trigger on this one is far better than any M&P trigger I've seen (a lot of take-up, great for Carry, but a crisp wall). I own two C2's. I purchased my first iron sights (non-optic ready) when it first released around 3-years ago. Then purchased the second C2 a year later with optics cut, which Staccato mounted a Holosun red dot. I EDC'ed all of these and used them all (except the newest M&P) in NRA training and competition classes. The M&P's never had an issue, not one. The C2's had multiple stovepipes, FTF, FTE issues. Once it would not fire which the NRA instructor could not solve (my guess was the grip safety was somehow jammed, since the trigger could not be pulled) until after several minutes of mag changes and racking to ensure it returned to battery, it started to again fire. Staccato support suggested running at least 1,000-rounds through the pistol to break-it-in. At that time period during COVID, 9mm was very expensive and the lengthy seemed crazy to me, I believe I was paying $1.25 a round for Federal Syntech which is what I only run. I've sent back the C2's 3-times for service. The first time they claim no issue was found, but they may have replaced some internal parts. The second time I sent a C2 back for service, they lost the pistol for 2-months and supposedly found it on a shipping department shelf. The third time returned for service they charged me for a service I requested, but clearly did not do it; they did comp me $50 for the error and removed the charge. Staccato Support recommended frequent cleaning and always run the pistol "wet" with lube. So I stand by my earlier comments, I would not recommend Staccato for EDC, but for a fun range pistol or competition (if you have a backup) do buy one if you have the wallet and do not mind reselling it for a sizable loss. The Staccato trigger and safety are incredible, no M&P will come close. My Walther Match and PDP Pro triggers (have shorter take-up than M&P) are not quite as good as Staccato. Staccato's are machined with such tight tolerances, they are difficult to assemble and can fail due to normal debris. I wish Staccato would sell a true Carry version with less-tight tolerances to increase EDC reliability. Some of the new factory striker-fire triggers are much, much better than their gritty high-pull weight triggers. Striker-fire is also three to eight times less expensive and many times easier to clean than Staccato's. After reviewing all the plus and minus issues between striker-fire and 1911/2011, I still believe the (new) striker-fire are still a better choice for EDC. Having a pistol fire during a life-or-death situation is top priority. ​ @marcusjohnson5839 , thanks for the valuable input, and I would like your opinion on your Staccato's versus a newer version striker-fire for EDC.

@@scottysowell5565 I love going there but they are a little expensive on stuff

@@ccalhoun0016 Thank you, I just assumed they added a round and updated them with more capacity

@@gearrunner If you contact Staccato, they'll send you a new updated mag spring. You ask me, 16 rounds is one better than 15.

@@mdx9286 I spoke with them earlier. They are sending the springs. It appears that the 16 round springs will weaken and may not have enough tension over time. The new ones are supposed to me stronger

@@whatsup24_7 I seen that also. Dang Garand Thumb ruins all the good stuff 😂😂

@@gearrunner lmao exactly

@@gearrunner I cringed when I saw that video.

@@williammatthews2948 me too!

Pretty sure that was safety off with the XC and even the nighthawk iirc, when he dropped it with the safety engaged it didn’t fire (I think lol) definitely not defending it, I was sort of bummed when I saw it too, but i carry the CS everyday and I don’t worry about it at all really. I also don’t think it’s snappy at all which is what i read before buying it.

@@champ5316 Thank you, I’ll check it out

@@RabbiTosmiser I have a 92 M4A1 the trigger is much worse than this SAO legion trigger.

@@fanbatcher I haven’t shot it much after this video. I’m really not much of a shotgun guy. But the last time I took it out it was still running fine.

@@countryboy9546 They replaced my safety with a single sided safety and it is way more positive now.

@@countryboy9546 They replaced my safety with a single sided safety and it is way more positive now.

@@gearrunner interesting. I don’t think I’d want a single sided safety on my carry gun but it’s interesting that changed the feel. My C2 definitely doesn’t have the crisp feeling my P does for the safety and I hate it.

@@countryboy9546 I wanted the single sided safety because I’ve been carrying 1911’s / 2011’s for years. On my ambi safety guns I have disengaged the safety just by walking by furniture in my house and it brushing up against it. I’m not a fan of my SAO pistols safety disengaging while I’m carrying it. It can’t happen if it’s pressed against my body and that’s the only safety.

@@gearrunner what holster were you using? A quality holster should prevent that, no?
