Staccato's elite carry gun - the C4X

This review of the Staccato C4X, conducted by an expert firearms instructor, evaluates its claim of shooting like a larger gun. Through rigorous testing, including slow-motion recoil analysis, 7-yard and 25-yard drills, and sample stage runs, the C4X demonstrates improved recoil management due to its monolithic compensator. However, it falls short of the superior shootability offered by heavier, larger-framed pistols like the Staccato P4.5, despite its significantly higher price point.

This video provides a comprehensive look at new Staccato handguns, focusing on models recently added to the California Handgun Roster, such as the Staccato HD P4, C 3.6, and the new C4X. The host also demos other Staccato models like the C2 and XC, discussing their features and California compliance challenges. Additionally, the video briefly touches on new Glock Gen 6 models with Radian compensators and a Canik collaboration.

Colion Noir and Michelle Viscusi discuss the Staccato HD C4 at SHOT Show. Key features include a 4-inch barrel, Series 80 trigger, and Glock magazine compatibility, designed for one-handed operation. Despite its concealability enhancements like a compensator and retained grip size, Colion expresses a preference for the Staccato CS due to its extreme compactness.

This video provides an expert overview of the new Staccato C4X pistol, introduced by Michelle Viscusi from Staccato. The C4X is presented as a versatile option for concealed carry and duty, featuring a three-sided compensator for improved recoil management and compatibility with both Glock and Staccato magazines. The pistol boasts an aluminum frame and a Series 80 trigger, with a retail price of $3499.

This video provides an expert-level overview of the new Staccato C4X pistol, a compensated variant of the 3.6 model with a 4-inch barrel. Presented by Danny from Staccato at SHOT Show, the C4X is designed for enhanced shootability and concealability, featuring a compensator for rapid return to zero and faster follow-up shots. It has undergone testing by elite tactical units and is slated for release on February 16th with an MSRP starting at $3,499.

This review covers the new Staccato C4X, a compensated 2011 pistol designed for concealability and performance. Experts highlight its flat shooting characteristics, effective recoil mitigation from the integrated compensator, and the significant shift to Glock magazine compatibility. While praised for its shootability and potential in competition, its high price point is a key consideration.

This video debunks the myth that an AR-15 round would 'blow off' an ear by conducting a practical experiment with pig ears. The results show that even high-velocity rounds like 5.56mm and .223 Remington, as well as heavier calibers like 45-70 and 8.6 Blackout, create small, clean holes through thin tissue, similar to a hole punch. The host explains this is because the tissue is too thin for the bullet to transfer enough energy for catastrophic cavitation, unlike in ballistics gel.

This short showcases high-performance 'Space Guns' from the Open Division at the Double Tap Championship. It highlights custom 2011-style pistols, specialized race holsters from brands like Safariland and Double Alpha Academy, and features a first-person view of a shooter using a frame-mounted red dot optic during a stage. The video emphasizes the advanced technology and customization involved in top-tier competition handguns.

Tim Herron, a USPSA Grand Master, explains efficient iron sight usage by contrasting traditional front sight focus with a target-oriented approach. He advocates using the rear sight for gross aiming and the front sight for fine-tuning, likening it to a backhoe vs. spade. Training with red dots can improve iron sight performance by fostering target focus.

This review compares the Staccato P, Springfield Armory Prodigy, and Bul Armory Tac 4.25, focusing on manufacturing, ergonomics, trigger, and shooting dynamics. The Bul Armory Tac 4.25 demonstrated superior reliability with tested ammunition and offered the crispest trigger. The Prodigy was the softest shooting but had a noticeable grip safety gap and feeding issues. The Staccato P offered a good balance but was also susceptible to feeding issues with certain ammo.
