Finally put my hands on a Staccato last night and now I want one more so when I first found STI.
Someone talk me out of it with how awful they are.

Haha! Good luck.

The expense is not with it in magazine restricted states. You could buy a really nice single stack 9mm 1911 and 20 mags for what you would pay for the Staccato.
don’t get me wrong it is a really nice pistol and I have been tempted to buy one more than once.
I have looked at them but not pulled the trigger on one for a few reasons. The square trigger guard and rails means buying another holster. Spare Mags are 70-90 bucks each. The prodigy is about half the cost. Even if I had to replace all the firing components I would still be about 700 dollars lower than the Staccato. Finally I can make (and have made) my own double stack 1911s.
But I will help you spend your money, you should totally buy one today.

I was would need a new holster regardless. Hoping to find a deal on a used one.
Thinking the P model with aluminum frame and threaded barrel.
The LGS has a full case of Staccatos, like I said I have been tempted a few times.

I have the P and it's a really nice shooting pistol. The only gripe I have is that the grip a bit thicker than I like. I looked into shaving it down but they want a premium to do it. It feels great in the hand but after a few mags you start to notice how big it is. So if the grip doesn't bother you you will love the pistol. It is extremely accurate and a very flat shooter.

I had a chance to handle a staccato and a stealth arms platypus. I thought the platypus was nicer. Add to the fact you can order the gun exactly the way you want down to trigger pull weight and color of each individual part, plus it takes G17 mags (heck of a lot cheaper and more reliable than staccato mags) and you can pick your serial number (thinking about going with 1FUNYS) I’d recommend the platypus instead.
Have not put my hands on one yet. Can it come with a threaded barrel?
Yes, one of the workers at the LGS has one, he runs it suppressed with 147 grain JHP at 950fps. Glock mags make it attractive.

I believe so but I wasn’t looking for that option as it would transform it into a scary baby killing machine.

1911 Platypus - Stealth Arms
The 1911 Platypus® is Stealth Arms’ new double-stack pistol based on the 1911 platform. Compatible with Glock® style magazines. With our online builder you become the designer!

Here is the gun builder for the platypus. You can configure the exact pistol you want and then order it online from them. I wish more companies would offer this.
I have to find a dealer. I do not enjoy glocks and hope the grip does not feel the same.

Is your boyfriend okay with this?
Is your pavement princess gonna handle the extra payload?
Lol just buy it if you want it. Life is short.

Yeah. You might wanna do some reading on these. Most 2011’s have feed issues. The guys running them in competition are charging the fk out of the loads and use like a 9# spring to get them to cycle with FMJ’s…Most won’t run polys, flats or hollows.
I used a Tisas as a build kit, it had feed issues. I found the “design flaw” in these 2011’s. it’ll shoot any ammo and low powder charge of 4.0 w231 with 15# original spring.

it’ll run with any of the Gucci guns

You can alway type in “2011 feed issues”on you tube.
Apparently AGW hasn’t found the issue with the 2011’s so they just scab the mags.

This is also the reason (well besides the Gucci price tag) I haven't looked into a Staccato; I don't have many "full size" pistols. (I do have a full size M&P 2.0 for home defense duty)
I went to PA in June for a shooting competition of sorts (part of ar15.com - Cola Warrior if anyone's heard of it) and a few people had Staccato's. Didn't get to shoot one but meant to; one guy made a ~150 yard hit on steel, though took almost a full mag to dial it in.
There's a good size list of things I'd rather spend a few thousand on first - night vision, plate carrier setup, more ammo...

The carolina forum here always has Staccatos for sale. I think they are sucked into the hype and then aren't thrilled. I've handled one. For the $$$ and the fact they run g17 mags, a Stealth Arms Platypus is a much better option. Especially if your still in NY. Easy to get standard mags if and when you leave there. I have one on order myself. Save your money.
I don't live in NY so that isn't really an issue. I like the idea of the glock mags. Just need to put my hands on one. I know it shouldn't matter but grip in hand is important to me.

Still surprised so many LE agencies are picking this up... for specialized units I could maybe see it, but for roughly 1/4 the price you can had a Glock 17 and have commonality with other area agencies...
This video makes me want one.

I have had a P model for a couple of years and it has been flawless through thousands of rounds both reloads and factory. I have yet to have a malfunction of any kind. And while I agree some guns can be had for less (Springfield Prodigy, good gun) I wouldn't trade mine for any of them it's been that good. Are their guns for less, Yup but I wanted it so I bought it, I had never even held one, LOL And yea, I agree the mags are stupid $$$, the Prodigy mags will work but they don't make a 10rd one yet. I have a buddy that has the Springfield and once he played with it awhile it has run well, he has a local FFL order him the mags and they pin them for him, I have used his mags in my gun and they worked fine.

I will say the Platypus looks cool, I won't buy one but it looks like a decent alternative. As far as cops/LEOs liking and buying the Staccato for duty it makes good sense, who wouldn't want 60 plus rds on your belt if the option was there,3x21rd mags, and you're good to go. Buy what ya want, as they say life is short. I feel the Staccato is worth every penny, but that's me.
