- These three compensated guns are compared head-to-head to see which is faster, flatter and more accurate. #staccato #nighthawkcustom #tarantactical #sandviper
Correction: the reference to Tier 1 Concealed holsters is incorrect, those are from Legacy Firearms. The Sommelier uses both, and both companies are excellent!
I really like these videos. I hope you get really popular. I have owned the TRS comp and the staccato XC. I currently shoot an atlas Erebus for my comp gun and an Athena for non comp. And they are all Formula One race cars. I think that the Staccato is the best bang for your buck at this level. The nighthawk is superlatively made, but I didn’t like the grip, which was too smooth in my hands. The other issue, much like dealing with high-end sports cars, is the cost of ownership and the price of repair. You can get a Staccato (or an Atlas) fixed pretty easily but that is not true the nighthawk. Send it back and it may be gone for six months or longer. Custom things come with custom problems and custom repair problems. I pretty much agree with the 1911 syndicate guys on the Taran tactical. If it were $3000 or even $2000 less, it would be a lot more competitive. I’m one of that group the believes of polymer grip at this price point is a crime. I don’t need fangs. And I don’t care if John Wick shoots it. At the end of the day, the ergonomics of the atlas are just better for me for shooting. All of these guns are more capable than the majority of us.
Thanks @jaceprovo I appreciate the feedback. The Sommelier agrees with you. Some of these are very nice but also very expensive to buy and maintain. I'm just doing these vids so people can see these compared with each other. For the money, the XC is an excellent choice, especially in terms of bang for the buck. And, speaking of Formula 1, I still have to make some vids for my Infinity collection.
That hillbilly camo looks good.
@@HolsterSommelierplease love Infinity
First off, thank you for the video. My pick is the XC, best bang for your buck. I would just change the trigger to a flat solid short and get the grip stippled. Best finish has to go to the Sand Viper.
Thanks @awokeone7997. For the money it really is hard to beat the XC. And, you can customize as you said to what works best for you. I'm in the process of putting Cheely aluminum grip on to see how it does. Then I will have tried both Cheelys and the stock grip to compare them all. Never could get the Atlas trigger working just right so went back to stock, but thinking of putting SVI Staccatto trigger group in.
@HolsterSommelier are you putting on the Cheely E2 with the agressive texture grip? For triggers, I have the Everglades short flat and it was easy to install. The original grip, you should try it with a stipple job, it reduces the circumference and adds much needed texture.
Just so you know. The tti is a staccto they buy and modify.
Hey @tommymorgan9239...... that is a quesiton on everyone's mind. Who actually makes the Vipers? We know that TTI does not manufacter guns. The Combat Master was a collab with STI and Taran, but STI made the gun. Can you show us how you know that Staccato is behind the Vipers? That would set the net on fire!
There is a video here on youtube where a guy goes over one and shows the same markings on his tti and his staccato @@HolsterSommelier
Can you provide a link to said video?

I really enjoy your channel. I would like for you to take the time and show and explain the different models of Kustom holsters. I currently carry a Staccato P in a Tenicor Certum 3, but really like the idea of a holster that can be worn iwi and own. I am getting ready to place an order for an Atlas Gunworks when I decide between the Athena and the Artemis and will be needing a new holster. Sorry about the long post.
Thanks @joebishop for your question/comment. I would suggest that you take a look at the purekustom.com website where Rocy explains the different holsters he makes. If you want both IWB and OWB look at the special ops pro model as that is the one that can be used both ways plus cant adjustment. That said, it depends on where you carry - I'm guessing you carry strong side.
I have looked at his website, I didn't think he did a very good job of explaining his different holster models. I think you do a better job, and I carry AIWB.@@HolsterSommelier
Egads! That snake holster! And not many holsters in this video from the holster sommoelier???
hey @jyo8914 -- the videos really don't do the 3D holsters any justice at all, they really are amazing pieces of art. The others really were more of your "everyday" holsters from PK. Still working on something special for the TRS Comp. Any deisgn ideas for that one?
damn that viper holster❤
ya @rik1541, Rocky at Pure Kustom does some crazy shit. Fully functional but really a BBQ holster
I love the staccato xc also now i have the xl and feel the same way.
Thanks @tymarkham3931. The Sommelier has not shot the XL but have seen it in many vids and it looks great.
10:03 … guys I… I think you got him.
Lol, yes, Zombie didn't survive
Who makes the holster for the Sand Viper? That iholster is insane.
It was made by Rocky Felix with Pure Kustom holsters (purekustom.com). It is way, way better in person!
Remember the staccatos 2k less than the others it’s being compared to
Hi @ryanmiller32 yes and this is a solid consideration when making choices. If money is an important factor then the Staccato can not be denied for its value relative to other similar 2011s. You can't go wrong with any of these three.
to me depends on your status, build and finish there's no deny NH is at top although i have XC!
Hey @MenOfArms you are absolutely right, one can't go wrong with any of these fine tools and the Sommelier fav is his XC --- best value and performance for the cost. That said, it is always nice to have the fit and finish of the NH or Viper
@@HolsterSommelierthat fit n finish on the SV is not above the XC
The xc is comped right is that the same for the nighthawk
Good question --- yes it is. The non-comp'd NHC TRS version is listed like that, vs the comp'd NHC TRS Comp. In this case, all three tools are Comp'd.
Bad ass man
TY @charles17508 appreciate the love!
Who makes the holsters?
Rocky Felix at Pure Kustom (purekustom.com) check out the sight. Can make anything you need.
Big money
True, but if you can afford one it is well spent! If only one, I'd recco the XC!
Yeah ive been looking I got the mr920 right now i like it. But 2011s might be in the future. Nice collection
TTI Viper is a waste of money. The XC and Nighthawk are worth the money. At 7k for a Viper, you’d be best served going Atlas. A polymer grip on a 7k is just sad.
Hey @SystemEncephale thanks for the comment. Ageed, if you have to make a choice between them, then the XC is by far the best value for the money. if money isn't an issue, the PV is still fun to shoot - not quite as much as the Sand Viper only because I like optics. And, I believe that the Wick guns hold their value pretty well - at least for now. Thjanks for watching the channel!
Two different guns. One is a real range gun while the other is a collectible.
1911 sti Trojan. :)
love it... and true.
Throw in the CZ Tactical Sport Orange and the STI Costa Carry Comp.
not so sure about the CZ but the Costa would be a nice piece to own and compare for sure. I'm doing round two with these three same tools with some changes to the XC and TRS Comp and...... will include my newly comp'd Atlas Nemesis. Should be a fun day at the range. Stay-tuned.
@@HolsterSommelier I’ve got the costa carry comp, and the CZ, and I have to say, the CZ, considering it’s price being so much lower than my other high end comps, is one of the most accurate guns I’ve ever shot straight out of the box, and has the sweetest triggers you will ever pull. But considering it’s size, not really a carry pistol for most average sized human beings.
Probably the fairest least opinionated test I’ve seen yet
Thanks for the comment @Colonel1Bravo. The nice thing about having no sponsorship is that we have no pressure to like or dislike anything on the channel. Stay-tuned a rematch is in the works with some "tweaks" to those 3 and a new entry........ to make 4.
@@HolsterSommelier sounds good. Can’t wait
Where's the erebus
Hey @pauls8304 great question. Maybe one will be added to the Sommeliers collection then we can compare. From what I've heard it is a great tool and shoots very similarly to the XC.
Took to long to get to the point 👎🏽
Hi @MrchikoSticks. Depends on what you want to consider the "point." My vids are intended to showcase finer tools and accessories so I do spend some time on them on those parts. We also want to demonstrate how the tools work and how they compare. You can always just slide through to the end section if you are only interested in the "final" POV on comparisons. Sorry to get a thumbs down from you, trying to put out an enjoyable product.
Three Trash Hammer fired glorified 1911s that’s all those things are race 1911s that’s all they are I take a race Glock over a race 1911 any day of the week because it doesn’t have a hammer to get caught on your shirt
@deendadisdick6845 while certianly more possible than a striker-fired option, practice, practice, practice. And, make solid choices in what you wear. All that said, none of these are my EDC (which is still a hammer-fired wilson). The Sommelier appreciates all feedback and comments. We all have our favorites and if yours is the Glock and it works for you then that is awesome.
Glocks, the Walmart of guns.
