This expert analysis from The Humble Marksman delves into the effectiveness of ported barrels versus compensators on pistols, using the Staccato XC and MasterPiece Arms DS9 as case studies. The video highlights that true recoil reduction is a systemic issue, requiring optimization of the entire firearm, including slide weight, barrel design, and recoil spring. The Staccato XC is presented as a more holistically optimized platform for recoil mitigation out-of-the-box.

The expert reviewer, with high authority, identified a potential magazine design flaw causing rounds to pop out during reloads. The testing also highlighted significant differences in slide weight compared to competitors like the Glock 17 and Sig P226.
