I think you explained it very well in that everyone doesn't know what the heck a series 70 pistol is, but would expect a modern pistol to be just as drop 'safe' as the 40 year old Glock design they're used to.
It may be a new production but most of the designs, apart from the grip module, is early 1900's design
Series 80 1911s have resolved that problem since the 80’s, so a solution has existed for a long time, too. For 1911s, it’s always been a choice between full drop safety or a better trigger, with people debating the merits of both.
Evidently, a lot of handgun owners know absolutely nothing about 1911s so this entire topic is brand new to them.
Some of those comments you read....damn. You would think their dead daddy designed the stacatto.
Some people wrap their entire identity up into the things they like/own/do, so it feels like a personal attack when someone says or does something that goes against those things. 🤷♀️
That made me exhale out of my nose
I personally LOVE how real you are in your videos. I don’t think you’re looking for attention or anything stupid like that. I think you’ve got more knowledge in your non dominant trigger finger, than most people do in their entire body. Keep doing what you do brother 🫡💯 you’re awesome!
"A falling knife is all blade, and a falling gun is all trigger."
Well put.
Sig was hammered regarding the P320 as a result of its early problems with drop test. It’s a pistol that is used extensively throughout the LE community much like the staccato so the same standard should be used.
Say what you want about 2011s but they don't go off in holsters the way sigs do.
To be fair the drop issue on the sig was worse. It would go off when dropped on the back with the barrel pointing up, something a series 70 or CZ shadow would never do.
While on the one hand I agree with you, I would also point out that Sigs would fire when dropped on their back, sending a bullet upwards into the air, instead of down into the concrete like a 1911/2011.
@@mattwhite7421 I would say that a CZ Shadow (which doesn't have a firing pin block) very much can go off if it's dropped on its hammer, while it's resting against the firing pin with a round chambered (the ready condition in IPSC/USPSA production). More likely if it has an extended firing pin with a reduced firing pin spring.
@@Blackstone9x19 I've seen videos of people putting them in a vice and hitting the hammer with a mallet and it won't touch the primer with the stock firing pin but an aftermarket one would dent the primer. But that's not the fault of CZ, that's a modified gun.
I carry a Staccato C2.
I wasn't aware that when dropped in a certain way series 70 actions aren't drop safe.
I'm still gonna carry it, I think the likelihood of dropping it in the exact perfect way for it to go bang is low, and it is a risk I will accept.
That said, I totally understand why this would change someone's choice in carrying or using a Staccato, and this is information every Staccato/Series 70 1911 user should know.
Oof. Sunk cost fallacy in action right here.
Well, I've also got my LTT PX4 ;p
@@Rdctd6969came here to say exactly this. The mental gymnastics are astounding
Simply get your new firing pin and spring and shoot your gun and carry it worry free. I understand this being a duty/law enforcement issue but if youre not then do whatever you want to make your gun safer or better. It will not make it impossible to fire if dropped but it will require such a high drop in order to go off that it can't really occur unless you drop it from 15 or 20 feet or so if not more maybe. Some companies such as springfield produce 1911s that come stock with a more drop safe firing pin and spring. This is what a lot of 1911 guys do and just something you should try to take into account if you love the platform and want to carry it. I wouldn't worry too much about it but it's a very easy inexpensive fix and probably worth doing.
Don’t listen to these fools. The series 70 has been used by cops and military personnel since its inception. We still use them.
Cops constantly have negligent discharges with SA/DA and striker fired guns, that’s not because they dropped the gun.
Best part of a series 70 is if you’re carrying appendix and someone tries to kick you in the nuts they’ll loose their foot
Why specifically Series 70?
Why would it be different with a Series 80?
I am a relatively new shooter I had no idea staccatos are not drop safe I assumed they were
Most 1911s are not drop safe, unless they’re a series 80. Unfortunately the triggers on series 80 guns are horrendously bad.
@@atypical-bass1966I wouldn't say they're "horrendously bad", but they're definitely aren't as good as a series 70. Series 80s still have better triggers than the majority of handguns on the market, and can be tuned and polished to nearly as good of a trigger as a well tuned 70 series. A well tuned 80 series just takes more work to get there, and manufacturers like Stacatto aren't going to put all of that work in. Series 80s with incredible triggers are out there. You're going to pay out the ass for it, though.
It’s not just dropping it any way, it’s a certain way.
ALL* 1911s with good triggers are not drop safe
@@zues287Jesus Christ loves you so much and died for your sins🖤✝️
I carried a series 70 Colt in LE knowing it was not drop test safe. The Agency knew too. It never became an issue. That Agency and the SO I also retired from didnt care either!
And plenty still use them to this day, not an issue.
I've been shooting since I was 25 ironically. I didn't know what a series 70 pistol was. If there was a pistol marketed for carry or "duty" I'd expect it to be drop safe. My G19 is drop safe ;) I found out, thankfully.
Series 80 1911s are also drop safe, so a Para Ordnance frame gun would have the double stack 1911 concept with a firing pin block, and still had a far superior trigger to any Glock.
I guess part of the reaction is that most people just don't know how their guns work. Sure, they can do most of the gun manipulations that they need at the range. Many people could also strip down their guns for cleaning or whatnot. But it usually requires a certain level of mechanical inclination/gun nerdery/autism before people care about the nitty-gritty details of how the things work.
It's like with cars: not everyone knows how the hell a transmission works, and most people just have a vague sense that it's "gears and shit".
No. No. This goes beyond people not having basic mechanical knowledge.
I knew what Series 70 is. I knew Staccato P does not have firing pin block.
However, the promoters of the pistols said stuff like, "Passed many agencies' drop tests...blah blah."
So, do not try to pin this one on "Ignorant Newbies not knowing their own gun, not knowing what Series 70 is...blah blah."
It is the promoters who are responsible for insinuating that this pistol would be different.
Jesus Christ loves you so much and died for your sins🖤
For the comment regarding LE carrying AR15s and shotguns and them not being drop safe. This is know and trained ARs and Shotguns that are carried in Police cars are carried in a "cruiser ready" configuration per policy which means for an AR a 30 round mag in the rifle bolt forward and no round in the chamber. Same for shotgun and this is specifically done because they are not drop safe. Just food for thought.
It also makes sense from an additional safety perspective. Not having a round in the chamber means that if you grab the long gun and the safety is off, hitting the trigger doesn’t cause an AD. I keep my home gear the same way.
If a cop tells you to drop your gun and you do, no one in that situation wants the gun to go off risking the health of someone probably yourself. Drop safe is a good thing especially for civilians.
Here we go again😂 love your style man.
I’m in Texas and see/hear of lots of LE carrying Staccato so this is really interesting!
Its Its awfully refreshing watching you take ALL comments good or bad with a grain of salt.
I love that you do this. Not gonna lie, if I had spent that much money on a pistol and thought it was drop safe only to later watch this video, I would be seething or coping or both.
We knew it wasn’t drop safe, everyone that owns 70 series 1911 knows this. It’s a very specific drop, not just any way.
Oh wow, so you did the drop test that soon? Good on you Ben! Even with a newer gun, with presumably fresher springs, the gun still went off. I grew up on the 1911 so this does not come as a surprise. But good on ya for doing that drop test and getting the conversation going. If you are willing, can you do a drop test on one of your tanfoglios too? I know it has a drop/firing pin safety but due to the design, it may still conceivably discharge a round if dropped at a forward angle wherein the slide would be out of battery enough that the firing pin lifter arm on the receiver wont be holding up the firing pin block on the slide.
I replaced my stock P safeties with extended safeties (Double Tap). They made a very positive ergonomic difference for me, as well improving their function.
I just closed my eyes for budget reasons
Why pay 2011 money when you can get a sig that’s also not drop safe for half the price?
😂
What about a hi point? 1/20th
Yes it’s a series 70 pistols. They aren’t 100% drop safe. But if they are gonna market it as a duty pistol it shouldn’t be this easy. It sound take some decent hight.
Cool you read my comment “Oh well bro”. I didn’t mean it any bad way. Cheers bro 🍻👍🏻🇺🇸
On the note about AR-15s not being drop safe, one thing that always tripped me out was the free float pin. If you drop the bolt and chamber a round then check out the primer, youll see a tiny mark, just not enough to ignite it.
I believe there are incidents of those going off though. I believe they call it a "slam fire."
This is why is is so critical that the rifle be pointed in a safe direction when charging.
@@NDcompetitiveshooterI didn’t know it was possible until a swat guy told me it had happened to him. To be fair, the same guy took an AR in that he had never fired, didn’t “need” it, and only found out about an issue later at the range testing suppressors.
@@davereloader8837I changed my training to make this part of it.
The cci400 small rifle primer cups are softer than most and are more suitable to slam fire. Use the 450 magnums if you are a reloaded. For any semi auto rifle
After USPSA runs its course......Stoeger for President.
I’ve watched a few of his videos and he has interesting commentary. Seems balanced. I’m disappointed that he’s not bigger on TH-cam.
Springfield uses a titanium pin and double extra power spring to help minimize the chances of it going off. I'll have to drop one and see if it works.
There's an inherent balance in trying to blend a racegun and a duty gun - speed and safety are almost opposites when it comes to handguns. It's also very common to instinctively disregard a perceived safety concern because safety is soft or bad or whatever.
Bottom line: If they're gonna put the word "Duty" anywhere near it, it needs to be drop safe. Things get dropped, especially when you're carrying them all day, every day. It's not difficult to make a 1911/2011 platform drop-safe, and it's not impossible to get a good trigger afterward. Whether this specific platform needs to be drop safe is another question - is this truly a failure of safety or more of a failure of marketing?
The real rub I'd like to know - Is the New CS/C platform different? Or will that one pop too?
Its really a non-issue. I understand young shooters may not know about Series 70 guns and this video was explained it.
It does become an issue when the promoters of this gun kept saying "This gun passed drop tests of major police departments..." pretending it would be different.
Great stuff Ben. I knew all about series 70 1911/2011 when I got my p. I put a +40% Wolff firing spring in it with no function issues. If I send you a spring, would you drop it on it's nose? Not sure I can stomach dropping my p from head height on the cement. Let me know.....
I think we'd all love to see that.
Drop test "triggers many" I see what you did there. 😂😂😂
Didn’t Springfield fix this issue on their series 70’s 1911’s years ago by using a titanium firing pin with a heavier firing pin spring?
I’m sending emails to staccato and asking about the firing pins and return spring. I just think a $2600+ duty gun should have the titanium firing pin and stronger return spring.
I'll stick to my Kimber that's never jammed on me (Yes, I know everyone talks shit about Kimber, but if it works, it works.).
I like the drop tests cos we get to see the Mach 1.
Should test this with a titanium firing pin and/or an extra power firing pin spring
6:17 Definitely would like to hear what Ben thinks after collecting information.
The auto adjusting holosun needs to be discontinued. If it can adjust instantly maybe... I've had issues with this in a local match. Turn that function off, don't need it.
lol love your shirt
It’s is a preference my eyes like the green better and my hit factor is way better with a circle dot combo. The scs 320 is the optic I am shooting.
Love the shirt!
Drop a Stock 2 or any of your Tanfos next! I am curious how they will do...and am poor and don't want to drop my favorite comp gun. Do it. I know they have a firing pin block but it is a different type of block that most pistols.
How many rounds had the firing pin spring taken at that point?
Let's add fuel to the fire - Kimber and their take on the Swartz safety. What are your thoughts? I know the general complaint is that if the grip safety timing is off, it will fail to fire. However, that seems like the best way to have a firing pin block in a 1911 pattern without affecting the trigger pull and feel. I have a 2009 Kimber TLE/RL II which basically runs well. I qualify with it as an off duty weapon. I knew going in that 1911s were a lifestyle type gun and they need understanding and more TLC. I ended up pulling the FP safety out to run a Wilson HD extractor but added a titanium firing pin and Wolff XP FP spring.
Kimber went to shit in the early 2000s. That’s my thought
There is no other manufacturer that use the Swartz system to my knowledge, and for a good reason.
I have dealt with a Kimbet with one, and I have nothing good to say about Swartz. It makes that so called "grip safety" that I hate even more funkier. That moment when you feel as if your trigger barely scratching past the grip safety internal block when your grip is not perfect. Now it also does it with the firing pin block. Also, having a firing pin block disengaged the whole time you are gripping the pistol does not make sense to me.
I would much rather choose Series 80 which never gave me any problem.
The problem with the Swartz firing pin block safety is you need to fully depress the grip safety in order for the gun to fire, which isn’t really conducive with modern shooting techniques. There’s a reason modern 1911 grip safeties are sensitized with a hump on the bottom, all so you can disengage the safety and fire even without fully depressing it (and even then, a lot of people resort to rubber banding the safety).
The Colt Series 80 trigger deactivated firing pin block is far more reliable, of course at the cost of a mushier, lower quality trigger. But in guns, reliability is king first.
That t-shirt LMAO

Regarding green dots, they will absolutely wash out in daylight conditions in thick green foliage. Think scanning treelines, draws ect... for competition, won't matter at all, but real-world use, it definitely has downsides imo vs red.
I have heard the green dot is a fairly large negative under NODs as well. Has been the reason I have been given why most guys doing night work, SF, ect, have remained using red dots only.
i run green dots, and it has not been my experience of them washing out while scanning tree's/foliage etc. ive done it several times just to see.
Wrong about under nods in many ways.
This has been my experience in the bright NC summers. Everything is a shade of bright green. Sun through foliage can be very bright green. Maybe not a problem for somebody who always shoots against berms or in desert, etc.
Any chance you get an Archon Type B and try it out?
I don’t know if I am the only one in the whole world, but blue lights look blurry to me so I’d rather go with a red dot than a green dot.
Also, it’s a shame that there are no Schwartz safety 2011s. Seems like the perfect solution (dropsafe and Series 70 trigger) as long as QC is good.
Hm seems a problem to me that could have a simple fix/upgrade 🤷🏻♂️
Remoil boys assemble!
Great perspective... never stop annoying the right people!😂
A lot of people in the comments upset are fighting their own cognitive dissonance about justifying their purchase. Being so committed to that brand they can't handle a little criticism. Those are also the same people so quick to call some pro shooters "shills." Gotta love the irony.
Bul Armory 2011’s don’t do that fyi……..
If you weren’t expecting the negative reaction, you might say you AD’d them.
Its not a deal breaker but it is something a person should educate themselves on and make an informed decision for themselves.
So why is it marketed as a duty firearm ? But it can’t pass a drop test ? I mean what if a officer or somebody is chasing somebody and they drop their gun as a running or they get into a scuffle and the gun drops and then it could go off
I’ll repeat, do you have any clue how many cops and military personnel have used series 70 1911s since 1911?
They have negligent discharges all the time with SA/DA and striker guns all the time.
Just for kicks can you drop the shadow 2 as well, without safety too like if it was dropped during a stage
Only as long as it isn't modified, not involving far weaker springs and extended firing pins. It could pass. The modified one already got an RO to the grave being dropped on the hammer.
He did that one already
Drop every gun you own?
@@HWG-wm8ld I do, thankfully beretta's have drop safeties.
@@FabianStrategy-76 and what happened
If you put rosin on your hands you could avoid dropping it. 😅
Gorilla glue, get with the times.
Are there any competition oriented double stack 1911s that are drop safe, like based on a model 80 or have a similar firing pin safety design?
Para ordnance. They are no longer in business but you can still find them around. I have 3 and they're all excellent.
Seconded the Para Ordnance frame. Built my custom gun off that frame and it was a Series 80 frame.
That being said, no competition specific guns are Series 80, since Series 80 does have a mushier trigger due to part of the trigger pull being the disengagement of the firing pin block (this is also why most 1911 aficionados prefer Series 70). It’s not 100% drop safe, but the risk is very unlikely and the gun shoots better, which for them is a worthwhile tradeoff.
Whether that is the case for you will depend, but if you want maximum drop safety, get a Series 80 frame.
@@gameragodzilla Para had a bunch of lines of competition specific guns. The original builder frame kits were certainly marketed more towards competition shooters than anything else. When they started selling full guns around 1990 they very quickly made series called the "Limited" specifically for IPSC limited division. I have a stock early p16 limited in 40 s&w. It is series 80 and has about a 2.5lbs trigger with like no take up and an extremely clean break and mouse click reset. No trigger work ever done to the gun, never even adjusted the pretravel or over travel bc it was perfect out the box. It is a better trigger than most series 70s I've shot. They also had the Todd Jarret pistols, The pro custom series/the thommassi pro custom, eventually they were even making a line of specific single stack guns for Wild Bunch competitions. All of them were series 80. In my experience series 80 doesn't inherently mean bad trigger and its also worth noting there's many variations of series 80 with many companies doing it differently (kimber for instance does some weird stuff and also uses a swartz style safety) and also that when the series 80 came to be a lot of the series 80 guns being sold were cheaper more budget line guns (think along the lines of the colt 1991) and that they wouldn't have come with nice well tuned triggers to begin with anyways. This was also after colt had some legal issues iirc with the guns being drop safe and I think they started selling more guns with heavier triggers to avoid liability anyways even with having the series 80 design. In my experience my series 80 paras all have excellent triggers.
@@ChuckSneed88 Yeah and my custom Para frame 1911 does have a really excellent trigger as well, though I can still feel some of the mush before hitting the true wall and a nice clean break. With that said, I still found that a super tuned Series 70 trigger will be better than an equally super tuned Series 80 trigger. That’s just simple physics, hence why I understand people preferring Series 70.
But you’re right in that Series 80 1911s can be made to still have excellent triggers, far and way superior to any striker fired pistol, while also having a firing pin block. It’s also why I wanted my custom 1911 to be Series 80 and one of the reasons I opted to get a stripped down Para Ordnance frame.
Ben's takes and observations are like a glass of cold water on a hot day.
Where can I find your video of the drop test? I could not find it on Instagram or TH-cam? Can you please provide a link to be able to watch it?
They act like this is something new. Non FPS 1911 style pistols have been doing this since day one. But people are stupid, so here we are.
Nah it’s not deal breaker but….. Am I the only one or do I feel like for $2000+ would be nice for them to be an series 80 . I mean my $600 guns come with firing pin blacks it’s not like it’s an unreasonable thing to ask for a gun in that price .
Get some education on the different series. There is a reason.
@@HWG-wm8ld well have you shot a series a good series 80 and 70 side by side ? Because I have.
Its an excuse normally by companies is the tiger is way batter in the series 70. But I grew up shooting 1911 , my dad had both series 70 and series 80 from colt and there was not a very no much of difference since colt did their job right back then when they use to care ,the reality is just companies bs costumer and tell them all this stuff so they can get away with selling a gun with less manufacturing hrs cost and have a higher profit .
Nice shirt! 😂
I would like to see you change out the firing pin spring and see what happens
Nothing
Nice shirt!
@Ben Stoeger Great video! 😂
Technically an AR15 isn’t drop safe either. The firing pin is floating.
That why nato ammo has hardened primers in 5.56.
9mm nato also has hardened primers from the winchester m1xxx bullets I’ve taken apart.
I wonder if Springfield 1911s/2011s do the same thing, they all have lighter titanium firing pins that are also smaller in diameter than those found on the Staccato P. The idea that these lighter firing pins would solve or mitigate the issue keeps coming up but I would love to see that theory tested.
Look mr science, it’s all series 70 1911s….all brands. Find me a story of a cop or mil guy that dropped their 70 series 1911 and it went off. Then search for NDs from cops with SA/DA and striker fired drop safe guns….they go off with not being dropped.
@@HWG-wm8ld I don't know any mil guys I only know moa guys
Agreed on all points. Its not a big deal but something people should know and probably isn't common knowledge if you aren't into 1911s.
Fair, but how many stories have you heard from cops and mil guys that their 1911 went off when they dropped it? Since 1911…
They have NDs all the time with their SA/DA and striker drop safe guns, that’s not being dropped.
A 1911 isn’t for people that are not committed to their craft.
@@HWG-wm8ld I can't remember hearing about a series 70 going off from a drop but that's kind of my point. It's a very rare thing. NDs are a more common and prevalent issue than drop safety.
I was agreeing with you bud
It would be interesting for someone to look at the “approved firearms list” of California and see how many approved series 70 guns there are on the list.
CA roster was never about safety.
@@echo_research_and_developmentCurious, what is it about???
@@chrisharris6834 Control. To hassle gun owners. It even required technology that does not even exist in any feasible form to put new guns on the list.
@@echo_research_and_developmenthaha that actually makes a lot of sense more so than safety.
Not going to lie, Ben literally described me. Got a Glock 19 at 21, got a staccato on my 26th bday cause it seemed like a better duty gun. Didn’t know there was a series 70 was a thing.
This isn’t a deal breaker for me because I shoot my C2 better than I ever shot my Glock. Which is more important to me than it being drop safe.
Para Ordnance (and later Remington) made double stack 1911 frames that were Series 80, so if you decide to go the custom gun route it’s a path forward for a double stack Series 80 (since Paras have a mixed reputation out of the box. You might get a good one or you might get a lemon). They’re not made anymore but you can find them fairly regularly on places like Gunbroker for not too significant of a price.
That’s what I did with my custom 1911. My main reason for choosing that frame over the more common 2011 frames these days was actually magazine capacity in .45ACP (15+1 flush fit and 18+1 with extensions, something no 2011 mag anywhere offers regardless of cost), but having the Series 80 components was something I liked as well. It does make for a slightly worse trigger (albeit still far superior to any non-1911 trigger) but does have the benefit of max drop safety like any other modern handgun.
What’s your opinion on the issues with the p320 considering the issues CZ has had with the shadow 2? I’ve heard more stories about gun ADs with S2’s than the p320 in the practical shooting world. Admittedly, I shoot the x5 but I’m not brand loyal. What’s good is good and what’s bad is bad.
AFAIK every AD involving the Shadow 2 has happened with a gun that has been modified with an extended firing pin and lighter springs. The S2 in its stock configuration appears to be safer if dropped. Ben did a drop test with a Shadow not too long ago. Search his previous videos to see him discuss the results.
How is the book iteration coming along?
The fact you ate discussing legitimate
Issues for a duty blaster is baffling. Not sure how your qualifications seem to not matter.
Keep doing what you do.
Wait, is it not drop safe with the safety on?
Correct. The only thing preventing the firing pin from hitting the primer is the firing pin return spring. If this thing falls muzzle down fast enough, the pistol stops and the firing pin keeps moving.
Is it a big deal if you drop it and it fires? I don't care. You shouldn't drop the gun. But then the same people that say this isn't a big deal made a massive issue with the sig p320. Something you had to drop at a very funny angle at the right time when the moon aligned. Because it did pass the standard drop tests.

5:24 lol I can’t believe there are females hating on Ben 😂
Nice shirt dude
I agree but is the shirt drop safe?
Btw just wondering what is that shirt you wearing 😂😂
Honestly, saying the Stacc is an entry level 2011 is so out of touch. Tisas-Prodigy are entry level at this point. I really like the grip texture on the Prodigy, and the mags are relatively affordable, so that's the direction I went. All in, the gun is still a couple hundred cheaper than a BUL 2011.
PS. I just find it funny. I feel like the more entry level guns have been out for a bit now. 2011's have become pretty accessible at this point.
I’m sure they find my G5 an entry level private aircraft.
No, I don’t, but I’m making a point.
It's the entry level DUTY handgun. Anything cheaper and youre in prodigy/bul armory territory. 2011's are just an expensive platform altogether.
Ben, I have a drop test theory. Can you do your staccato drop test the same way with an x300 light attached.
Where did you get that shirt LMAO!!!!!!
Hey Ben - how’d you get into shooting if your dad wasn’t into it growing up? My dad is similar. He hunted and was in the Marines but never did competition stuff. Always curious to hear other people’s stories.
My dad was a door gunner in nam, he said a gun was too easy and was into archery.
@@HWG-wm8ld Door Archer, that's the real soldier's job. lol
Those boys in Vietnam were the last of a certain type of man. I knew a guy who flew Dust Off in Vietnam, and I’m surprised those boys could walk. JD would talk about getting flak like it was just Tuesday. Turns out, it was.
Its an expensive staccato is all people know most people dont know the series 70 shenanigans most people come from a drop safe firearm
You need remedial English
Marketing a series 70 1911 as a duty weapon is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Just ask sig...and they are actually duty grade pistols.
Do you have any clue how many cops and military personnel have used series 70 1911s since 1911?
@HWG-wm8ld do u have any clue the point of my statement? No, no u don't.
@@HWG-wm8ld And? In WWII, my grandfather was part of a unit that recovered and reworked unexploded ordnance. Nobody will even TOUCH that stuff these days because it's too dangerous.
Times change and safety standards go up.
We still use them today. People have more NDs due to stupidity with drop safe guns, should the companies market them as not idiot safe?
As a community, we should expect are firearms are getting better, not worse
That shirt!!!! Hahahaha
Pretty clear Redbeard never heard of the Doodieproject
In case I missed this in a previous video, will you be banning all series 70 firearms in your classes?
He knew this would happen. More NDs happen with striker guns when not being dropped, just by user error.
@@HWG-wm8ld That has nothing to do with the discussion though. There are less car accidents in antarctica than in the US....
Sure it does.
He'd have to ban like 80-90% of competition guns including all of his own, lol.
For the price they cost you would think titanium so that wouldn’t happen as likely
You don’t understand what’s the issue. It’s the design in series 70 1911s. Find me a story of this happening outside of purposefully dropping it on an exact point.
I get the issue but they use a lighter pin in upgrades so it weight doesn’t strike primer with force
Lighter pins cause light primer strikes. There is nothing wrong with a 70, period.
It is almost like we won two world wars with the basic design. Not particularly worried about drop safe.
Such an idiotic comment that people keep repeating. A pistol has never won a war. We have continued to use 1911s to this day, did the 1911 win the 20 plus wars since ww2?
@@HWG-wm8ld Still not worried about drop safe and 19/2011s. Sorry the sand in your vag is acting up.
It’s a SAO 19110 firing group, yep… 🤷♂️
Nice shirt lol
The problem with this is it hurts people’s feelings. They marry a brand of a product and it’s always the best. It’s called ignorance, thanks!!!
Could you do a C2 drop tests??
He will do every gun he owns
@@HWG-wm8ld does he own a c2 lol
I was being sarcastic.
Yea that's a no from me dog, can't strike a guy in the face with a staccato either then
Facts don’t care that you spent $4500 fanboys. 😂
$2500 simple Jack
Either way, if I buy a duty gun for that price, I expect a FAR better gun in all respects than my Canik.
I want to see the staccato P drop from multiple angles, no balls.
I’m assuming you have your own FFL. Would you be interested in shooting and reviewing my edc? I’ll provide the ammo, just honestly interested in what you’d think and how you’d like it, or if you’d tear me a new one for my setup.
Damn dude, you that insecure?
If it’s a modern gun it’s fine. You are the one that makes a difference. And there are better weapons than others.
Post what you have on here, I’m sure it’s not some one off gun.
@@HWG-wm8ld not insecure about it all LOL I just know he’s a tough critic but that’s why I appreciate his opinion. And actually some of the parts are completely one off, because I had them designed and machined myself. (Trigger bar and fully adjustable trigger) it’s a custom P365 FCU with upgraded tigger and all springs replaced. Mischief Machine Macro+ commander grip module with G10 grips, custom machined 365XL slide with upgraded springs, Parker Mountain Machine barrel and comp that fits flush with the XXL frame, DPM recoil kit, Align Tactical mag release, Holosun 507k, TLR-7sub with Anitmatter Industries micro wing, and Tactical Development +2 basepads. The shorter trigger bar and fully adjustable trigger combined with all the spring work and the hours of polishing, it’s got a super clean 2.7lb break with zero take up and a short fast reset. Personally I think my build is what the 365 Legion wishes it could be. Like a mini striker fired Staccato XC lol but I’d love to know how he feels about it. I’ve got over 8,000 through it and it’s definitely reliable, safe, and accurate.
Way too much to read. You need some education and training.
@@HWG-wm8ld lmao 🤣 I’ve been a gunsmith for 20 years and I can guarantee you that I shoot more than a handful of people you know combined. I’ve got both already, education and training 😅 and a degree in gunsmithing. How do you think I designed my own trigger setup 🤦🏻♂️ What do you have?
@@HWG-wm8ld too many words with more than 4 letters? I understand 🤣 don’t ask questions if you don’t want the answers. Besides, my comment was for Ben anyway 🤦🏻♂️ nobody asked you lol
