make sure to enter before the end of march because it does end end of march all right guys let's get back to the video okay first things first um it's staccato so you're gonna get that manual safety right now if you like the manual safety cool if you don't cool to be pretty honest i don't like manual safeties on my epistles so it's like well does it bother me no and guess what you can also just turn that manual safety off so every time you pull it out you're resting your thumb on that safety and that's something you want to do i don't really know it's just preference at that point but for me it doesn't make a big deal but i know some people it doesn't make or break the pistol i mean this is pretty much an exact replica of my staccato p and it's really not that different i also love that it has the flat trigger and the trigger itself is about four to four and a half pounds of a trigger press here's pretty much the wall and take up and break okay let's see what the reset's like it's very fast very crisp and then up to the wall break and that is the trigger on the staccato cs the cs comes chambered in nine millimeter and it's a 16 plus one the trigger is a four to four and a half pound it's got a crisp and clean single action pull the barrel is a 3.5 inch bolt barrel it's also available in stainless steel and dlc the weight without an optic and no magazine is about 23 ounces the frame is built from an aluminum 70 75 and it's a billet precision machined aluminum frame the recoil system is a 3.5 inch tool less all new fully captured Dawson precision recoil system and of course it comes with two steel 16 round magazines which is just like the staccato p and every other staccato but still holds true to that staccato feel that we all know and love i will say when you eject the magazine and go to enter it's a very smooth transaction the way it goes in the way it goes out i mean it does feel different it doesn't feel like a normal staccato it also doesn't feel like a regular polymer pistol which is something that i found unique and i did love so that's something to take note of but i just love the way a magazine can eject from the grip and inserting it back in there that to me is just satisfying i think it's really tactical i love doing that so also please do take note if you're going to insert the steel magazine make sure you really see it in there because if you don't see it it's going to look like this if you don't see it properly it's going to look like that and nobody wants that because at some point it will just fall and you'll miss your shots and you won't have any more rounds to shoot at the bad guy with or your target or steel target so make sure you're properly indexing and seeding the magazine into the staccato i know it's really weird to say but i found myself that even just like that if i don't put enough pressure on it it won't go all the way in so you need all that pressure going up make sure it gets properly seeded my steel plate fell down i'm gonna go put it back up the cs comes optic ready so you can put an optic if you want the downside from that though is that you will have to order an optic plate that will fit in rmr or any kind of optic you may want to put on there i believe the price for that plate is roughly like 102 120 depending on where you get it but on the staccato site it's about it's over 100 bucks so that is kind of a downside as well i mean i'm a fan of that i mean i don't know i can be in sometimes i'm a fan of the manual safety i do like playing with it that's what she said but i don't know it's it's just there it's good to have i mean man it's just a good shooting little pistol you can also attach a light on here if you want i probably go with something like the tlr7 sub by streamlight it's small compact i believe it's 500 lumens now the only thing that i would have trouble finding i think or maybe you would have to spend some money on is a holster for the cs so here's my dilemma okay this is my usual everyday carry this is the six hour x macro then we have the cs in the macro there are 17 rounds plus one so you can have a total of 18 rounds 17 rounds in this one so does it really matter to you that this has 17 and the x macro has 18 rounds total i do carry the x macro because of how slim it is i can attach light on there and it's super light and very compatible with my body and where i put it and how i holster it i will say that the staccato cs is slightly thicker than the x macro but i don't know if that really matters to me especially if you put a small optic on the cs i feel like you're kind of competing with the x macro very well look at the lengths of those barrels i mean very very close the only thing that i would say bulges out from the staccato cs is the magazine here if you can see you can tell the magazine on the staccato cs comes out just a tad bit more than the x macro i do carry the x macro almost every day and it feels so good now i have not been able to carry the cs as often because i don't have an actual holster i just have the 945 industries bag that i put it in it's like a fanny pack that i use on my chest kind of like a chest rig but for the most part i've not concealed carry the staccato cs to really tell you guys if it actually matters but i feel like it wouldn't just because of how close the size the barrel length and how close they are so it's really to me it may not be a big deal but to you it might so something to consider all right got a full magazine insert oh man that just feels so smooth it feels so good in the hands like the fact that it's just slightly smaller than my hand and it fits and it fits so well in my hand it feels like i'm handling a a large staccato p and to me that's all i ever want that's all i ever want i want to feel like i'm handling a giant staccato but it comes in this small compact form factor which i'm in love with man gosh just so good so so good all right i think i got like 10 or so in here let's do it all right so here's my question who is this staccato cs for i mean you're gonna be spending over 2500 bucks with that amount of money you could purchase two to three polymer pistols that are just as good as the staccato cs would you need to spend that much money on a pistol that does the same thing as like let's say the six hour x macro or a block 19 probably not which is why i think the staccato cs is a very specialized pistol not only for law enforcement but also those who already have guns that they use every single day for protection for everyday carry and for range use maybe you want to level up your pistol game maybe you do want to spend more money on it maybe you do have the money and resources to spend about three thousand dollars after you get an optic on there and the light and then also a holster some of the drawbacks might be that it's a hammered fired pistol and not striker fired now is that something that's important to you it could be now it could be important to you when you're carrying for protection or going out to the range but i do think this staccato cs has a special market out there now for me will i carry this staccato cs yeah i will be carrying this staccato cs gotta find a good holster for it a good optic and a good light so the question is will you be getting staccato cs most likely people may not go out there and just buy a twenty five hundred dollar gun for everyday carry or just for fun i think it's something you build up to you save the funds you get a couple pistols on the way and then finally you get something like this 2011 cs but i would be interested to know what you guys think would you go out and buy this cs are there better options out there could you buy two quality polymer pistols with optics for the price of this let me know your thoughts comment down below as always guys thank you so much for watching and i will catch you in the next johnny q video peace all right we have to load this up again and go shoot a few more rounds because it's just a fun little pistol to shoot i love it i love it
