Staccato XC | The Review You’ve Been Waiting For!

Published on September 12, 2020
Duration: 19:38

This review of the Staccato XC highlights its exceptional performance with a 5-inch compensated barrel and a 2.5lb trigger, making it incredibly flat-shooting. While praised for its speed and consistency, the reviewer notes the G2 grips are too smooth and the optic mounting height is high. The $4,300 price point is a significant consideration, and the light trigger is deemed unsuitable for duty use, favoring the Staccato P for such applications.

Quick Summary

The Staccato XC is a 9mm pistol with a 5-inch compensated barrel, billet steel frame, and a very light 2.5lb trigger. Its compensator makes it shoot exceptionally flat, but the light trigger is deemed too sensitive for duty use, making the Staccato P a better choice for carry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key technical specifications of the Staccato XC?

The Staccato XC features a 5-inch compensated barrel in 9mm, a billet steel frame with an accessory rail, a 2.5lb trigger pull, and the Dawson Universal Optic (DUO) system. It utilizes a Dawson 5.0 Adaptive Tool-less recoil system.

How does the Staccato XC perform during shooting drills?

Is the Staccato XC suitable for duty or self-defense carry?

While an excellent firearm for competition and range use, the reviewer suggests the Staccato XC's 2.5lb trigger is too light for duty or self-defense carry. The Staccato P is recommended for those roles due to its more appropriate trigger weight.
