  • I have had time on all 3 of these pistols. Each has some unique features. Huge shout out to Taran Tactical for sending me out a brand new Sand Viper to T&E, Same goes for Nighthawk Customs for sending out the TRS comp, these pistols are in very high demand, and NHC sent out a TRS comp with all the upgrades one could as for. The staccato is one of my personal daily blasters.

      And the performance long term. And the craftsmanship when it comes to brands like Nighthawk, Cabot, Wilson combat, Alchemy etc. those brands and pistols will hold their value far longer than a Staccato will. And their performance will still be there simply due to the craftsmanship in the pistol from the start.

    Sand viper is too expensive. Staccato is too plastic. Correct answer is nighthawk.
    I bought the XC. Because I didn’t know the others existed at the time.
    Edit: loving the XC though. Accurate fast and I can’t stop shooting it. Goes with me to the range every time and already have thousands of rounds through it.

      False the XC with a comp will not outshoot a custom prodigy with a comp or slide comp period. The prodigy already shoots softer adding the comp and internals makes it insanely soft and accurate. And, it only costs $800 bucks total for the upgrades so you are maybe spending 2100 to 2400 total and that is stretching it.

      No the dot makes a huge difference. For a shooter who is at a non master level. It’s very difficult to rat hole a target at 25yds. Same application goes a scoped rifle. If the weapon set is not 100% dialed does not matter how good the shooter is.

    Finally !!! I like your channel but you kinda talk down the staccato XC in my opinion. You finally gave it some props. It’s ok to like what you like but when you say the XC is a good 3200 gun but say nothing about the 5-7 k guns value or cost it just felt like you had a bias against staccato. Again , like your content , but noticed some bias. ✌🏻

      @rdrgear  Před rokem +4

      Appreciate the feedback. I do not believe the Stacatto’s are priced proportionally to what you get. In regards to features and parts. Once you get to the 5500+ mark. Those guns often have options, finishes, cuts grip modules etc. So I try not to get too deep on price because it can vary. But you make a solid observation. That I can definitely work on with all my reviews. Thank you.

I can't imagine seeing/feeling the benefit of a comp'd gun - but easily could be just my experience level.

It's sort of like "well, this gun is good but the other guns are good too and any accuracy errors are due to me and not the gun, and they all are cool but some are too expensive, yada yada yada'.

      On Ig or we can talk here.
      1. Is there a budget? With 2011’s in general. I feel it’s wise to have one. It will help you in what you look at.
      2. Purpose. Example. Are you more a Tactical pistol shooter/student. Do you take classes? Or are you a match shooter. If so, how many matches a month. Uspsa, 2 gun, 3 gun outlaw etc. This will help you determine the style of pistol and what features you may want out the box.
      3. Gear, if you got a budget. Add 1k to it. For belt, holster and additional magazines. The 1k will cover you pretty much any direction. And may leave a few bucks for additional mags.
      With these 3 questions, I can give you my honest answer, more importantly WHY I am saying what I am saying. And I can give you some alternates. That I have shot but not had the opportunity to review on the channel.

      The large majority network just like i did. Taran Tactical sent the sand viper as a loaner test fit safariland holster mods. I have a good relationship with night hawk and they sent the TRS Comp, as a demo/loaner. Sometimes if the guns are mot on back order for customers. The content creator can purchase the pistol with a small industry discount. So no! I don’t get all the guns we review for free.

    HOWEVER, if you plan to sue the gun also for "defensive purposes" (e.g. combat, home protection...etc.) and you plan to put a closed emitter RDS like the Holosun 508T or Aimpoint P2....then the Sand Viper is not for you....
    What gets me about TTi is how commerical they are....clearly...with their "John Wick LIne" of guns LOL!! How they were the tones who trained Keanu Reeves for John Wick "gunplay"...the character was an "assassin" not a 3-Gun competitor :)) Why they didn't send Keanu to a "combat focused" trainer, ex-SPEC OPS man...shrug.....
    TTi---clearly a 3-Gun oriented company intetnonally keeps putting a "combat slant" on his guns...just to keep snagging that wealthy John Wick fanboy....wanting to own "JW's guns" LOL11 ...naming their guns "Combat Master" and "Sand or Pit Master" ...COME ON !! :)) ...but they ARE selling out so...good for them....achieving their objective/"target crowd"...This is the age of the RDS-...whether you're a range -only shooter or use the gun in actual combat (LE, military or agncy operators...)...odd there aren't more "closed emitter RDS" on the market and everyone not providing those mounts...

      @@rdrgear I’ve literally seen Staccatos go 10,000 + rounds with zero issues. They perform amazingly well outta the box. Very reliable, too. The nighthawk is over rated and the price point for a pit or sand viper most cannot budget for.
      I can grab 2x staccato P’s and send them to DSC, for the price of 1 pit or sand viper. Unfortunately the guy left out Triarch, which hands down walks the Nighthawk every time. Great vid tho 🫡

      @@peybackthis1596 DSC. The gun smith for every first time 2011 owner. I love how all these first time STI pistol owners think they have hit the 2011 jackpot. Then send their guns off to have some cut holes in them just so they look cool. The craftsmanship alone for a nighthawk is why the price is what it is. It’s not large scale production pistol from stock non fitted parts. Everyone was once new to a topic. But when you come off thinking what you know is fact, it’s hard not to laugh. The XC os
      Over priced by at a min of 800-1000.
      Ps. Glocks can run for over 10k rounds. 10 is just little over 800 rounds a month. 200 rounds per range session.

      @@peybackthis1596 Triarc, this tells me a lot about your time on a 2011. Your views will change over time. And hour education will grow. And you will learn what pre-fit gun is and what a custom fitted gun is.

      DSC does more than porting, buddy. Also, no one does it quite like Dave. You’re clearly new to modifying guns. Take a seat buddy. The nighthawk is, and always will be overpriced for what is a “top tier 2011”. Period. Stay triggered, and go hit the gym fat fuck.
