Best shooting 9mm? Staccato XC Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ค. 2024
- The Staccato XC takes the duty background of the Staccato lineup and honors STI's race gun roots. The result is a 9mm so soft and flat shooting it's tough to look past. It's expensive - but worth it.

$5K after adding sight and a spare mag to be king of the fishing vests. Built for Heroes!
😂comment of the year
Why is this so accurate...
King of fishing vests!! Lol
Rented this at a gun range over Father's Day. Unbelievably spectacular! It made me a much better shooter, and was really fun.
4300 bucks, practically giving it away
😅
Flexin on the poors.
Right!
You could buy a threaded barrel “P” version and add the comp. Or.. send the Staccato P to skips guns to have him port it. Both options are going to be cheaper. I couldn’t tell you the difference between the 2. However, the XC has a better trigger and ultimately a better design. I have several ported/comp guns and they shoot absolutely flatter/stay on target better.
@@meatsweats4103which ones
Just ordered my XC yesterday and can’t wait! I know I’m late to the game but better late than never. I am binge watching XC videos now. Great review and please keep up the B.D.E. Thanks for you input!
Shooting this gun was actually insane to shoot. Thank you again for letting me run it!
Sir, your videos are not only entertaining, but imminently educational. Great lessons in this video, as per compensators, ammunition, and weapon operation. Thank-You, and all the BEST, Sir…
I got to shoot someone's XC a while ago at the range and I gotta say it really does work. I was shooting a plain Hi Power that day and could keep up with them but the amount of effort required was exponentially more.
I have a Staccato CS and I have ordered the XC. I am so excited about it coming in. The CS is unbelievable to shoot, so I can't wait to see how the XC shoots. I have watched many videos about the Staccato XC and, as usual, you provide TONS more information than all the other videos put together. Thank you for your knowledge and research on what you say and the information you provide. VERY nice job. Thank you!
I couldn't have asked for a better review! I am in the throes of trying to decide on the XC. You have checked all the boxes of the issues and points needing to be assessed. Keep up the good work.
Glad I could help!
Thanks again for the opportunity, it really is an impressive gun!
Now heading to watch GB guns video and I love the modern spartan systems kit!
Well now I want to see Graham write you a character story. And you doing some of that sweet voice over work we just heard
Just got it last week and I can’t wait to go try it out!
Solid video. It answered some questions I had and pretty much sealed the deal for me.
Did you get yours yet? If so how are you liking it?
Wow… sti/staccato actually made something recently at their price points (versus other new entrants to market) I’d actually consider buying. Stepping up their game 👌
The best explanation of what the pistol actually is so far. Very good job.
Thanks!
Great video, my friend. You actually smiled at the end. BDE.......
Great review and you covered/confirmed what I found with my reloading.
I have a XC, P and C2. No intention of swapping parts or adding lights. The guns are good just as shipped. Compared to one of my other high end guns, the DVC Limited, the XC wins since its much nimbler. Tack driver extraordinaire. Got really lucky, picked it up yesterday used/like new with a SRO for 4100.
I have to say to hear it's your favorite speaks volumes. I knew it would be nice but not that nice. I would love a comparison to the Infinity H tac.
You keep using match b roll from my home range when you talk about your open gun ❤️
Great verbal comparisons with great videos.. bit over my head discussion but try to help us into getting into competitions and give us an idea how to keep the sport alive so I can teach my Grandson
Excellent review …. That pistol will be added to my DREAM LIST. A BDE can always dream. Plus it looks like it’s a better pistol than I am a shooter. But I did enjoy the detailed facts you pointed out. In the review. Thanks keep up the excellent reviews .
Looks awesome! As always, thanks for great review.
Awesome review!! BDE!! One of my buddy that I shoot IDPA with shoots the same gun. Damn this gun shoots flat!! It’s his carry gun so he is shooting it from appendix at the local idpa matches in vegas.
This gun for sure deserves more reviews from you. Id like to see you do one just on range shooting and fun. And shooting it with irons. Damn. Nobody likes irons anymore 😂😂.
Your buddy Brandon is absolutely correct. It's really hard to understand just how good the pistol is until you get it in your hands.
A year later, Safariland does have XC specific holsters now. I've got the Leupold DP Pro too, and a Surefire X300U, so I had to wait a couple months for Safariland to build mine, but it's a nice rig.
I have a Staccato P(aluminum frame), and a XC, and thinking about a Nighthawk Sandhawk. I think both XC and Sandhawk are sexy in aesthetic❤. Would love to see you compare this XC and Sandhawk if you can.
Great video!! Ugh I still can't swing that price tag but I will continue to live vicariously through gun tubers
If you want it, do whatever u have to do to make it happen. We only live once man. And having the XC in your arsenal will for sure make u smile. It is an amazing 2011. All around, it is very hard to beat.
This set up is exactly the same as my own XC, paired with the delta point pro, i shoot mine in IPSC open division (minor power factor) and beat some guys with proper race guns, I’m not a great shooter by any means but i love my XC and the under dog status it gives me. Love your work btw Dave, Aussie shooter here.
Guns are getting even more expensive here, im from SA, how much did you pay for the XC?
@@nathanmitchell7961 with the delta point $8500
So u beat a novice with a race gun?
@@sv2697 Are you trying to sound like a pretentious dick? Why are you assuming there were only novices in his open division? Usually, race guns are owned by serious shooters in Australia as it's a luxury to shoot let alone own a high class tier gun to do so.
The top 3 shooters in Australia all shoot in my open division in Adelaide.
@@sv2697 not only novices, some experienced guys too, I’ll never beat the top guys though lol
Would love more XC content 😊
Great video! Always love your stuff. I really would love to here your thoughts/video on the Bul SAS UL Comp. I recently purchased one and would like to get the most out of it considering it is compensated, particularly in ammo selection for concealed carry.
I want to see a staccato xc vs an open class gun side by side video on various stages. Then also maybe some accuracy testing side by side too. That would be a ton of fun to watch
My duty gun. Went from a Springfield TRP Operator to a STI Tac 5.0 to a Staccato P DUO to an XC. 2011s rule . Best of the 1911 with morw hate on tap for delivery. 😂
I'd like to see you shoot it next to your Bul race gun. Great video.
Looking for my next gun, specifically for competition shooting (so for g19 for everything). I'd like to have a single gun to take to either IPSC or IDPA match. Maybe that would be an interesting idea for your show, to recommend few guns from IPSC/USPSA production list, that also meet IDPA rules? Bonus points for focus on Carry Optics ;)
XC owner here. Mine ran over 5,000 rounds with no cleaning. Needs lubrication at about 750 rounds or it starts to chug. I ended up going to a 9 lb recoil spring. The factory spring tends to exacerbate the chugging when the gun is dirty and feeding issues may occur. Duty holsters: the M&P 2.0 5" 63xxRDS holsters from Safariland work well with a small amount of heat modification. RDR Gear will do this for you as well.
5000 rounds. Wow. And I was worried about cleaning mine at 500 rounds 😂😂. I think I went too heavy on the oil but it runs so smooth. I use Lucas gun oil. Never tried the oil he prefers in the video
Love my XC. If you have the means, I highly recommend it.😊
The video I didn’t need to see!! Great review.
I can unsee it by looking at my bank balance.
I appendix carry that bad boy, Right now I'm trying to get a TRS Comp & Chambers Custom CC but... it cost money lol!
Great video. I would really like to see you compare it to an XL
I run this with my 3 guns and it's amazing!!
It’s a great gun! Solid review!
You might as well just make the longest supercut you can about this gun. All of your match footage, range, backflip practice, just smash it all together😁
My favorite blaster. For the money you can’t find a better shooter. I would argue it shoots just as well as the $7,000 - $8,000 Atlas Erebus, Nighthawk TRS Comp, and Taran Tactical Sand Viper.
$4300...a urge to not fall in "like" and "just be friends." Beautiful gun with all the bells and whistles. I'll just have to live through the HM's experience with this one...lol
I seem to remember back in the beginning days of comps the .38 super guys would run very high juice loads in order to get the comps to work effectively.
I ran .38 Super back in the days of 175 power factor. 160 grain bullets with great dollops of W-W 540 powder. I had to give it up because of the pounding my ears took.
I ran 115's at 1580fps using 11 grains of slow burning powder. Comps still work with minor loads but the percentages go up as the power goes up.
I have a friend of mine that I shoot with who owns an XC. He has never cleaned it and it is over 15,000 rounds. He does oil it regularly. We have a pool going on when it’s going to gunk up.
My xc is chambered in 45 ..my duty gun but it was almost 7 grand for the custom chambering .
Love to see a Staccato XC vs. Atlas Artemis
I shot my friends Artemis vs my XC. They feel same to me. But the Artemis return to zero is .0000001 faster.
@@rayclay2299 But then the Airtimes is more like a Staccato P as it has no comp. Kinda impressive that the Atlas without a comp slightly edges out the Staccato with an island comp speaks volumes!
On the other hand, the Atlas Gunwork's Erebus is an entirely different matte as it does have a comp. No the Staccato cannot match it in any way.
Throw in a SVI Infinity into the mix and hold on!
Yes, I am aware that both of these cost substantially more, but that wasn't the question. The Question was is the Staccato the Best. Not by a wide margin. ;
I carry the P duo for duty. Holy crap, that thing wants to go faaaaast. I’m coming from a Springfield TRP. I shot another deputies XC. Absolutely the flattest shooting period.
Staccato now has an option to have the gun built with a 4.5 lb trigger installed. Definitely a good option if one planned to use this for duty.
Beautiful gun. Can you do a video of the best adecuate lasers dot for the Staccato XC ??
Do a comparison between MPA DS9 "AKA the Aardvark VS Staccato XC
I saw some 2011 called the Legion Precision LPWS and would love to see the XC against it as well as a comparable Atlas Gun Works model.
Shoot Modern Samurai Project's Black Belt standards the the XC. Post results. Try 5 times. Idk. Perhaps do some Tier 1 Concealed Triple 7 drills?
They really did nail the XC!
I shouldn't have been so amused by your "Paul" voice, but I couldn't help it.
Their lines are amazing, I barley could afford their P but all of them are worth the money
I'd be curious to hear what load you work up for this. Doing my load development for my XC now and have it running 137pf on some 115gr pills with 6.4 grains of Vihtavuori 3N37. Shoots flat but it returns pretty violently into the comp....switching to a 9# spring to see if I can slow it down a hair and push my PF up a bit to get more gas
Can you clarify more about trigger pull weight vs spring weight?....and how something magical happens?...is this something 1911/2011 gun guys should attempt to achieve.
A rundown of why someone would buy the P vs XC? Starting to save up as well as work with a 1911 to have the correct battery of arms technique and I know the XC is awesome. But I am still at best an “intermediate” shooter…if I get a 2011 should I go with a Bul Armory instead? Curious on your thoughts.
Cool piece!
Do you find that there is a slight amount of rotational movement ( wiggle) of the barrel when the slide is forward in battery as a result of the island barrel and corresponding slide inlet needing clearance if you grip the compensator and try to wiggle / rotate it? I ask as my STI Costa Carry Comp (the forerunner of this pistol) does this. Not sure if this is normal or not.
I wanted to make a real range toy out my Costa so Extreme full trigger kit with Infinity trigger shoe, Limcat stainless grip (they do a reduced diameter grip for people like me with girly hands). STI stainless mag chute and full length tungsten guide rod. It makes a not inexpensive gun expensive or in the same price category as an Atlas but a non plastic stainless grip makes it shoot a lot flatter and a plastic trigger I took it as a throw away as I knew my preferred trigger length was different.
Hopefully you can review and compare in the future the Staccato XC Vs. the Phoenix Trinity H-Tac.
I’d love the opportunity to
The XC is popular in 3 Gun Open . Probably a bit more pricey horsepower than needed for IPDA CO - but why not I guess lol !
Barrel comp vs slide "expansion chamber?" One better or worse? Pros vs cons? Which one better channels BDE?
It seems pretty nice…. But can it actually hold a candle in reliability, accuracy or looks as my current Hi Point 9? :)
It would be nice if you kept a Top Gear type of ranking board for all of the various guns you have reviewed. Each one seems to be your favorite. Since the Masterpiece arms was your favorite a few months ago, can you tell me which of those two you prefer? Flatter shooter, less felt recoil, fastest for competition, etc?
The XC shoots flatter - the MPA is really great just not comped
@@TheHumbleMarksman thank you for the response. I ordered the MPA that you did a review on and chose to the porting option, hopefully that will help flatten it out to the degree of the XC.
@@tonka1004did you received your ported MPA? If yes, can you let us know how your MPA is, it shoots flat?
Cureently is my CZ custom mdified Shadow II, which shoots extremely well. How's comparison with the Bull Armory and Sticato XC?

Sweet pistol. What's your thoughts on having this pistol vs. A Steath Arms pistol.
Great video as always but I have a question. Am I the only one/idiot that pinches his support hand pointer finger between the Comp and slide while racking the slide? I swear I get myself at least once every range trip just past my second knuckle on my pointer finger. Maybe it’s just me because I never hear anyone else say they’ve done it before.
So is this gtg as is for IDPA CO? Or do you have to remove the magwell or something? Do the non extended mags fit the box?
Are weapon lights allowed with IDPA in Carry optics division?
I put a Cheely grip on my XC, pinned the grip safety, and the result is 90-95% of my Atlas Erebus (for significantly less cost). Overall Atlas is still in another league, but a few tweaks to the XC gets you very close.
Shoot some of your open matches with it and do a break down so it gives dudes that don’t compete an understanding of why it’s not “competitive” in open. Before I competed I would have thought a gun that cool/expensive would be awesome for competition, because most people don’t understand major/minor and why you can’t load any gun to 9 major.
I want to see you shoot for score with this gun and with your race gun and compare the 2.
excellent content -- thank you!
It is expensive but if your gonna pay 3500 then 4300 is not that far off. I loved mine so much I bought another. The only other one I was considering was a sand/ nighthawk trs comp. But the wait time was long and the grip felt better to me on tha xc. The slide is butter smooth the trigger is soft with a clean break it is a lot of money 💰 but if you wanna play with the big boys and let your nuts 🥜 hang. It makes you a better shooter for sure.
I want to see a video where you clean and maintain it
Going to be watching this video a few times. Thanks for posting, hope atlas sends you their idpa carry optics comped gun when it comes out, to do a comparison.
My brand new XC had noticeable side to play on the slide and stove piping issues with the SRO that was very hard to fix.
It’s a good gun but not hand fit even close to the big boys like Infinity and Atlas.
How old is that gun? Curious if it was a teething issue
The SRO overhangs at the ejection port of most staccato’s and will induce malfunctions. Change or remove the optic.
P comes with a 13ib recoil spring and the XC a 7lb. 9lb is the best for 124gr in my experience.
7lb?! Wut. Maybe I’m ignorant not being a comp shooter but wow. Is there any buffers inside or just the comp bleeding off the slide speed?
How does the Stacoto XC compare to yout Bull Amory competition race gun?
Looking to purchase one or the other
Tanfolio is also in consideration, comments
DrJ
The XC shoots a world better than the P. Shooting with the XC is almost taking candy from a baby. Paired with my SRO, can easily do 1” groups at 15 yards, 2” groups at 25. At 5 and 10 yards can hit the same hole over and over. The P has a a much heavier trigger and the compensator on the XC keeps it flat. My favorite pistol of all.
Still waiting for the review on the XL
Limited optics …….
I kinda miss my XC. I gave it up as a part of a trade for an Atlas Athena. No regrets, but I may buy another one.
I did the same exact thing. The Athena is AMAZING and a true piece of art. I traded my XC towards it. As much as I LOVE the Athena, I was sick to my stomach over losing my XC. So, I just bought another today 😁😁😁. Its a must have. And now I have an Athena and an XC. Best of both worlds. My advice, get the XC back man. U wont be happy until u do. The Athena and XC are so different that it justifies needing to have both.
I believe all the new Staccatos are running the TAC grips. A bravo to them for that! The "old" or original grips were the worst! They forced you into either stippling or buying a $600 grip to be able to hold onto the gun. and the real pain in the ass is that curved PLASIC trigger! Come on Staccato, offer "real" triggers!
And yes, I do own a few Staccatos, including the XC, and my GAWD, IT IS A MACHINE!!!!
I like my lowly CZ Shadow 2
Nighthawk IMO is the best 1911 / 2011s I've ever shot or owned . I have shot Staccato P DPO but I have not shot the XC yet . I would imagine my mind will change if I did .
Back in the day I used to have GOOD Para Ord Limited 18-9 . It was actually super reliable unlike the newer Paras. I actually was going to buy Bul Armory , Oracle Arms 2311 or Staccato-P DPO but I'll be damn'd my LGS has lightly used CZ75 SP01 on Consignment for ridiculously cheap price so I couldn't not buy it and send it off to CGW for Pro trigger package and OPTICS Milling / RMR Footprint
CZ makes great handguns
@@bigshoe84 I was not a fan kf thr CZ Striker fired pistols but I'm in love with their hammer fired
@@seanwhite304 I agree, I have several of the hammer fired variants.
@@bigshoe84 A good buddy of mine has the P07 , P07 , and SP01 PHANTOM. I love all 3 of his pistols lol .
I'm guessing the SP01 PHANTOM is SP01 except its Polymer frame .
Love that gun!
Very nice .
You should try an Atlas Erebus
Nice! Fun to see you so enthusiastic. How about testing it against a P with a DSC comped barrel installed? Can you get a hold of a DWX that's had its barrel cut with a port?
I don't like it, but I now understand the significant extra cost opposed to the P.
Want one. Thanks
These things sell for 13k usd in the Philippines yet almost always sold out.
One day i will have one hopefully in my lifetime i can get one 😢
These guns are great fun to watch or even rent at the range. Let’s be honest these are not average guy guns, buy an average gun and tons of ammo.
One more downfall: the fixed island sight / comp is perfect for slide bite when press checking or clearing the gun. I've learned the hard way for about two weeks to remove that bad habit. I was pinching my fingers in front of the slide and rearward of the sight.
Thats not a downfall of the gun, thats a downfall of u buddy lol. Keep your fingers out of there! 😂😂
