Staccato XC VS Nighthawk Sand Hawk / Battle of the best 2011

- The battle of the nice 2011, Staccato XC vs Nighthawk Sand Hawk. Both of these pistols are among the nicest shooting handguns currently available, the built in comp on both of these 2011 pistol eats up most of the felt recoil. Slides are smooth, optics system is decent, good sights, comfortable grips, and great triggers.

As always, great video! Thanks for taking time to check out the Sand Hawk so much!
Once you start shooting it’s difficult to put down
Can I come to Arkansas to get my own custom sand hawk?
@@TiberiousGib Quality.....
Nighthawk for 7k it definitely should come with ambi safety.
@@Awesome_1789 most of our customers actually don't want an ambi safety- that's why we offer it as an option and not standard
Great video, dude! Love the honesty & humor! Felt like I was listening to a friend
Well done
Why thank you 🙏
Great comparison video. Enjoyed watching
Thanks
Outstanding vid my friend Your skills are incredible! The double pistol shooting was awesome Both pistols are beautiful 😊 Stay safe
They are both beautiful, thanks for watching
Great job TIB!
Thanks dood 🙌
Excellent review and comparison
Thanks 🙏
Awesome, detailed, and thorough review. As always and fun. Both excellent and superior handgun's. Two of the best and in reliability. Superior quality you will never forget.Personally I am going with the NightHawk Thunder Ranch Combat Special in 9mm. And will be using the Wilson Combat 10rd 9mm magazine's. Stay safe, Cheers
Dope 🙌
I have the trcs and it is my favorite pistol I own. You’re going to love it
Staccato comes with ambi safety. That 2.5 pound trigger is heaven.
That trigger scares me ha
@@TiberiousGib light triggers scare me too. I don't like to be surprised when the gun fires.
Not everyone looks ambi safetys
@@TiberiousGib 2.5 scares me too
hella late, but try out a bul armory when you get a chance. sub 2 pound trigger, it's INSANE
Ask me how many times I've watched your Sand Hawk review...
I'm going to watch this one just as many times. this usually happens when i want a certain pistol; reviews loop in a playlist until i have a physical copy.
...that's a lot of money to hide from my wife --I hope you're proud of yourself.
😆
😂🤣😂 TIBERIOUS the divorce master
@@TiberiousGib
😆
As long as I get the kitchen and bathroom remodeled FIRST, then it shouldn’t be too tough to slide in a Sand Hawk.
I’m in the same boat right now 😮 lol
I'm going with the XC every day, the price, looks, weight and not to mention the barrel/comp are made from one solid block of steel unlike the TRS, it's a two pieces system so durability. For the extra money you save on the XC you can add a 509t/SRO, a light and metal trigger and probably still be under the TRS.
Whatever works for you 🙌 both good choices
@Memphis67shelbygt500 staccato is offering metal triggers now
UUh he wasn't shootng a TRS. The TRS is a completely different Nighthawk offering all together. He was shooting the Sand Hawk. :
Both are great handguns. I would not pay the asking price for a Sand Hawk with a cerakote finish.
Nice guns... such works or art... hopefully I get to shoot them soon..
That they are
I don't how many more times that will watch this one. Both are on my goals list.
Just let the video play over and over all day 😬
@@TiberiousGib 😂
Same
Show off
Good Video!
Thanks 🙌
With the nighthawk serrations are done by cnc. If you want more serrations that is extra but done by the gunsmith by hand no cnc machine. Both amazing guns!
Good to know FJB 🙌
Living vicariously through you. Too broke to try either.
You should have snuck away from the little one to put a few rounds through each
You're right, both are excellent firearms so buy both!
Agreed 🙌
i wish MA had out door ranges like that. i believe the outdoor ones here (which u need memberships for all of em) u can only stand in your booth, cant walk around and shoot. cant wait to move down south lol.
That’s why you need to get a bunch of buddies to join the same range and slowly take over the board, that’s what we did.
@@TiberiousGib you're a genius 😂. Idk why I've never considered this.
@@TiberiousGib subscribed and I'd def love to collaborate one day. Gonna be separating my 2a content from this channel since I keep getting flagged.
I have both and prefer the Sand Hawk. Both are fun to shoot though. Long term the Staccato might go to a new home not just yet.
Understandable, nice but I give the edge to the Nighthawk
Price point can’t beat that XC. 💥
Spicy comments 😂
The difference is the hand fit gun gone be a very tight gun for long as you own it and finish should be very tough,staccato is a great gun also it’s just production vs true hand fit, u will have a air loom type 2011,I do love staccato also it’s just in my opinion a fun race gun to sure enough run the hell out off,both shoot like a good fit glove
Agreed
Liking those gloves !
Thanks, made by Pig
@Tiberious Gib looking for a pair now
Both guns are excellent, the Sandhawk is more elegant whereas the Stoccato is more workhorse. Brass tacks: The Stoccato XC (which can be ordered with a 4lbs trigger) with a Cheely metal grip is $5K ready for optics, and the Sandhawk is $5950 ready for an optic. In a perfect world, I'd own both...in the reality world the XC is the better value. I'd own both if it were possible though. Why the hate on Streamlight? Lol.
Agreed
How does the Phoenix Trinity morph compare to the nighthawk and Staccato? That nighthawk you got us gorgeous, what color scheme is that?
I would have to shoot the Phoenix before I comment, they feel great.
I own both. The XC for the money is almost impossible to beat. I added a Cheely L2 and Infinity Trigger. with those mods It put it closer to the Sand hawk in over price. The Sand hawk is a nicer gun overall. It needs nothing. Toss on your rmr and it will run and run and run and run.
Damn you own both 🙌
anyone else notice the weak/inconsistent ejection on the Nighthawk? yea, not for $6000+... i'm guessing it still needs to be tuned. and the lack of it locking back on last round was noticeable. even with the editing. the XC seemed to be more consistent locking back AND ejecting the brass. AND it's cheaper! XC's got my vote. good comparison!
Cheap ammo with an aggressive comp
I want to see how the Nighthawk cerakote would hold up to being really ran hard for long. Staccato DLC will last forever.
Great questionn
good video
Thanks
I use a paper clip or anything similar I have around to capture the guide rod on those setups.
Thanks for the tip, the thought crossed my mind
What holster were you using for the Staccato. Great video. We appreciate it.
Blackhawk level 3 🙌
Does that only work with the x300? I’ve got a tlr1 hl. May have to upgrade for better holster options.
Great vid thanks m8. I just noticed a Nighthawk is not performing so well as I expected for this price tag, Im not sure if all what I saw was intentional adn dont get it wrong. But its ejecting pattern was really weak, Im not sure it its coz of weak load, but on other hand I presume you run both gun with same ammo and Staccato run like a champ, always slide lock back on last round (I thing several time NH did not) and due to weak ejecting in one brass jump and stuck back in to gun. Just what I saw I defenetely looking up to Staccato.
Combination of cheap ammo, dirty gun and cold temps
What optic did you run on your Nighthawk, I have the Acro P 2 but which do you think is best ?
Trijicon RMR, they are both great optics with different pros and cons
i noticed the brass on the night hawk was bouncing off the RDS, appeared to cause a malfuntion at 10:43. did this occur more then once ?
When she got really dry and dirty she had a few stove pipes
@@TiberiousGib This should have been mentioned in the video… You don’t think your viewers would like to know that you had “a few stovepipes” during a 500 rd T&E? This was the first video I saw of yours, and last.
Just got the new wick gun 2 weeks ago nd ran 350 rounds so far no problem. If possible could you do a test between that nd the nighthawk.
Now I did pay $8,100 for it so there's a difference in price but I'd like to see if it makes a difference between the 2 of them. Now I did buy as a show peice but I will be shooting it because that's what it's made for. Great video keep up the good work nd my next gun I definitely want a staccato because it does look like a good dependable beater....A 5,000 rounder easily with a Lil care....
5,000 ????
Bro my Shadow 2 has over 15,000 and still runs like a champ
Thanks
Both are awesome If I could only have one I’d take the sand hawk
Agreed
Two beautiful guns... You should add the Sand Viper from Taran Tactical. May have a clear winner. Of course that pistol is 7K
You'll be surprised, check out Teamblacksmith channel, he has about all the 2011 comp guns you want or need and does a comparison video and the Sandviper was not even 2nd.
Wish I could get my hands on one
I don’t know maybe it’s just me or maybe it’s a Texas thing but the separations on the staccato look a whole lot like the ones on this here shadow systems, Pistola in front of me. Then again the night hawk reminds me a whole lot of an FN 509C both in baby poop peanut butter!
I’m really kind of amazed at the sudden or maybe not so sudden interest on 2011’s. Once only the purview of competitors or the Uber-rich thanks to more and more manufacturers getting into the game - Like SA with the prodigy Triarc Systems and the Bul armory SAS II - competition drive down prices -albeit a little and increases choices for poors like me.
Seeing that neutered 10 round mag makes me sad 😢. But soon - very very soon all those 15 and 30 round mags will be coming out from under the attic floorboards to breathe the sweet air of freedom 🇺🇸. The sickly sulfur stanky air of New Jersey Freedom!! I done Subbed up brother!!
Magazine is sad 😞
What holsters are you using? I love both firearms.
Backhawk owb duty rig
You definitely have to get used to light triggers but once you do it’s no different, I went from CZ’s to Staccato so it wasn’t much of a change my CZ’s have 2.5lb-3lb triggers and I’m totally used to them
Indeed!
Same: (CZ TS2) And my third gun is a 5lb PDP. Prefer the lighter trigger.
@@jonnsmusich Most people have no clue how bad a five pound trigger can be for accuracy at 20+ yards even with a highly trained shooter
If you REALLY want the trigger from the P, I believe the XC can be ordered with it from Staccato
Not a bad idea
It’s the same trigger between the Staccato P & XC, just the sear spring is adjusted differently.
I had a P and XC. I swapped the leaf spring and now have an XC with a P trigger and zero reliability issues. Love it
What holster are you using that seems to run both?
Blackhawk holster made for 2011’s, sold on the Staccato website
My dream gun no doubt
Which one?
@@TiberiousGib the Nighthawk man, I LOVE that finish .... I've got a Blackout Defense 13.7 in the clear ano and burnt bronze finish... The Nighthawk is the PERFECT pairing for it ... I'm getting one .. gotta sell a few pistols and rifles to buy it lol.. but I'm committed now lol... I wanna start shooting comps anyway, so at least that's how I'm justifying the purchase to the Mrs's 🤦♂️ ... don't get me wrong the Staccato (any Staccato) is amazing and I'm from TEXAS so it's made on my home state I feel a certain sort of loyalty to them .. but damn... that Nighthawk man 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Stacatto is like space magic
They both are
You're right. I got to run both while doing testing for/at Leupold. There's only one way to settle it - own both. Seriously. They are both jewels in the 2011 world.
"A person needs to own one of every type and model of firearm there is so he'll know what he needs two of." Guiding words to live by. @@TiberiousGib
Lmao ya b it is magic how you can take the best 2011s ever made in stis the top of the line and turn them into mass produced shit staccatos…
If you don't remember what the con was on the Staccato, was it really a con??
I guess
Not
I think the Staccato looks nicer but I'd much rather have the NightHawk. The closest I've come to a NightHawk is installing a NightHawk Custom drop in barrel into my 1911A1 Auto Ordnance lol. For me it's NightHawk Custom all day long. Gr8 comparo. 🔫 🇺🇸 🔫 🇺🇸 🔫 🇺🇸
Not a bad choice
Wilson combat sfx 9 is as high as I can justify paying for a pistol. Thats my price ceiling. Both these pistols are nice, I just don't like grip safety so I'd have to go with an atlas eres in this price range.
I get it, they are
Not cheap
Ferrari vs Lamborghini… two amazing options… that I’ll never be able to afford 🤣
Pretty much 🤣😂
what holster you using for the staccato
Blackhawk, sold on the Staccato website
can you do comp with these guns?
They have a built in comp?
Owned both, love the NH but even if the prices were the same, I pick Staccato.
Wow
You can get the 4# trigger in the XC
It’s not mine, borrowed from a friend
Wait until the Oracle comes out.
Interesting pistol
What range is that from a fellow rhode islander
I recommend Wallum 👍
I have owned both and prefer the Atlas Erebus.
I gotta get my hands on one
Which one had the most failures?
About the same, really just wouldn’t lock back if they were dirty and it was cold
Hey I’m from RI where are you shooting? Is it private?
I suggest Wallum or Bradford
@@TiberiousGib I want to shoot metal are they available at both places? I am a member at Tiverton Rod and Gun and just shooting paper gets tedious after a while.
both great range toys, and yes ive owned both.. going back to the edc series.. much more versitile gun.
Cool 😎
OH LORD.. slamming the slide.... I came out of my skin!!
And nothing happened
@@TiberiousGib LOL...
I did see a failed to lock back on the Nighthawk. Magazine related?
Possibly
I saw multiple malfunctions and stove pipes with the nighthawk... Kind of sad he doesn't mention all the reliability issues with it when it gets dirty. Fishy
💫
🙌
why he looks like Andrew from BingingWithBabish. He expanded his universe into guns this must be BlastingWithBabish
Not the first time I’ve heard that lol I’d love to meet Babish!
Is the staccato better than Wilson combat?
I wouldn’t say better, different. Wilson are mostly higher end - hand fit 1911’s. Staccatos are double stack duty - carry guns.
Wilson Combat is complete Garbage, I would not compare the 2, QC at Wilson is laughable. ✌️
I prefer the Nighthawk over the Staccato also!
I’d be happy with either but the Sand Hawk is like cheating
Staccato for sure. Love mine.
Have you shot Both?
You need to have nighthawk fix your extraction/ejection. That looks a little anemic.
They should stand behind it.
It was a very dirty gun with crap ammo
I thought you were partnered with inforce??
I worked for Inforce like 3 years ago
Big price difference between the two. The Nighthawk is more like an heirloom weapon with a lot of handmade and hand fitted art type quality of craftmanship. So a bit of apples and oranges conparison.
Only 1k difference but yeah I agree
@TiberiousGib oh I guess I'm wrong then, last I checked or assumed the XC was like 3.5k and the Nighthawk was 5.5k . That's not too much of a jump to get a completely hand made and hand fitted gun rather than production fit and finish.
darn.. polymer trigger on the XC?
Yup
👍
🙌
I CRIED…WHEN I WATCHED THIS VID😂
I cried making it
I own a staccato, and i have shot the nighthawk in competition. Both great guns, nighthawk i like the stock grip better. I like the aftermarket availability of parts and upgrades for staccato. I do prefer slightly the nighthawk, but its no where near twice the price. Both are premium guns, but you can have 2 staccatos for the price of the sand hawk almost and the nighthawk didnt have ambi safety.. Insanity at that price point to be honest.
Fair points, thanks for watching
I’m waiting for the 2311 to release.
I can’t wait to shoot one
@@TiberiousGib me either
10 round mags? Nah, I wouldn’t comply with unconstitutional laws like that. But, beautiful pistols. Why choose one when you can get them both over time?
Wish I could afford both lol
"i'm not gonna commit a felony"
"on camera"
😉
😁😁😁
Ironic that Staccato gets points for "value". :)
😂🤣😂 4 k value
what holster are you rocken?
Blackhawk, only available on the Staccato website
@@TiberiousGib thanks
No sand viper ????🇺🇸🇺🇸🎥🎥🎥🐐🐐🚀🚀🦍🦍🙌🙌🙌💎💎💎🙌🙌🙌🦍🦍🦍🚀🚀🎥🎥🎥🎥🚀🚀🦍🦍🦍🐐🐐🐐🐐🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🎥🎥🎥🚀🚀🦍🦍🦍🦍🦍🚀🚀🙌🙌💎💎💎
I have a few more Nighthawk reviews lined up
we nominate ranch dressing.
Yum
❤
Strange bot
i want whatever job it is that allows people to afford Nighthawks lol. my Staccato P is the most expensive item of any kind i own other than my car lol.
😂🤣😂
Never shot either but after this comparison, I’d probably go with the Staccato: I like a more aggressive grip and gold front sights on the Nighthawk are pointless.
The gold is for flexin on poor friends ha 😬
gold never breaks or goes dim. it's a hidden gem that's fallen under the radar
I think the rear sight is in front of the optic so the irons r usable (I actually prefer this setup fwiw).
eyes can pick up on gold super easy even in low light...
Gotta go Staccato
Have you shot both?
@@TiberiousGib God NO but l got a Staccato P and C2 all l need to know. Now you invite to shoot a SandHawk l most definitely will 🤣🇺🇸🤣
You might as well buy something faster from concealed if you can only carry 10 rounds.
Assuming I follow that law but sure
$5000+ pistol with a regular weight trigger? What the heck 😂
At least it has a literal gold bead front sight 🤣
Flexin with the gold trigger
Staccato XC vs FN SCAR 20s ???
Weird comparison, depends on the use.
@@TiberiousGib abo equal price, lol. just wondering
I just can't see paying $3K for a pistol. For a duty rifle, that's reasonable. I just don't see the value in expensive pistols unless you're in competitive shooting.
Good thing these are more like 6k lol but I understand, difficult for me to justify 6k on a handgun.
Have you ever shot a higher end pistol? The shooting experience is much better than say a Glock or sig
@86keen I don't buy tools for the experience. A good rifle is a much better tool than a pistol could dream of being. So, i$3-6K for a rifle all day, but a pistol isn't worth that as an actual fighting tool.
A good rifle is better than a good pistol and it’s good to invest in a good rifle, however I’m ok with investing heavily into a pistol that I have a significantly higher likelihood of having on me when I need it.
@@dustinmeans8856 I mean most modern handguns are reliable and between 600-1000. They are good enough for most of the world militaries.
that is state law not federal law, and some how that seems unconstitutional
Agreed
The XC is $4230.00. I would in no way abuse the gun. I would never carry it.
I’d carry a 4K gun but not one with a massive comp that’s not 100% reliable
Everytime I see a staccato I want it just a little more 😑🤣
Me too!
Wait until you start shooting one!
Only gun I shoot every time I go to the range. It’s amazing.
I have several thousand rounds through it. Never had an issue. I keep it dirty and lubed.
@@TeensierPython I can't wait lol still got another month of door dash and instacarting to do before I can get a CS 🤣
Why would you need to prep a trigger that’s 2 pounds. There’s no slack to prep they just didn’t know the weapon yet, it takes practice
Both guns, especially the Staccato have a little bit of take up before you get to the wall. It is very light, but it definitely has some take up.
I am not going to get butt hurt either way. They are not practical for me.
😂🤣😂 me too
PRAISE WU!!!!!!!!!!!!! WU-TANG!!!!!!!!!!! WU-TANG CLAN AIN'T NOTHING TO FUCK WITH.
Wu-Tang is 4 eva 🙌
This is like comparing Lizzie to Margot Robbie
What???? Are you insane? The Nighthawk is nicer but it’s not like I tossed out a hi-point
😍👍🙏👍😍
🙌🙌🙌
I don’t give a fck what the internet says. Staccato is king
Agreed on the internet, what ever you prefer as long as you can be open minded enough to try both of them
@@TiberiousGib this is true
Atlas is another step up for sure. I really liked my XC but love my Erebus!
Nice! I just reviewed the Sand Hawk by Nighthawk custom. check it out! I love 2011s!
Good luck on your channel
I love my XC, but there is no way in hell I would call it a “duty gun.” Immediately put 1000 rounds through it when I got it in six days and after only 300 rounds it was stove piping from being dirty. Once I got upwards of 800 it would stovepipe every other round.
Seems common when they get dirty
give me a break - atlas gunworks are way ahead of both
Pros and cons to all of them
It doesn’t look ambi at all
Which one? We are talking about two guns here…one comes ambi and one can be upgraded for extra 💰
Next week… we compare a middle school player to lebron James
Get off the meth homie
The star has a Limp Bizcuit vibe. Eww.
The star?
@Tiberious Gib On the Staccato grip. Other than that it's beautiful.
