@Levi2 , you know that pistol is very personal choice. What works for one person may be hated by others.
So far you have been using pretty good tools… and your thoughts are going good direction
C2 would be an awesome choice. Don’t think about the price… it is still much less than WC SFT9
Anyway, you have asked about experience… I already stopped counting rounds on my C2, but I’m over 10K for sure. Zero malfunctions, zero problems, only pleasure to carry and shoot.
The only question is - how do you like SAO system. If you don’t care, you will really enjoy consistently same feeling every time you press the trigger. No matter how hard or softly you press that trigger - the result is always the same.
C2 is a super accurate an perfectly balanced pistol.
However, if you still think about less expensive option… one of P365 would be a good choice.
I’ve had Glocks, Walther’s, Rugers, HK’s, Sig’s, Kimber, S&W’s and Springfield’s.
After 500+ rounds the DR920 is what truly works for me, trigger was a little stiff in the beginning but now is butter to me. Happy enough that I picked up a CR920 CMB, great for my belly in the Summer😁
It is completely up to you.
I know that Staccato is pricey… but the cost of usage and maintenance is exactly the same as for any other pistols.
The big difference is, that with Staccato you never lose single round because of malfunction or misfire… and each one is around $0.30
What I like about Staccato → it works the same way when you shoot 1st round and 10,001st round. There is no break-in period, no wear… it just keeps shooting. And no aftermarket parts for improvement needed. You cannot improve perfection.
@Levi2
I will not use an expensive firearm for concealed carry, but that’s just me. God, forbid you get involved in a self-defense incident, that gun will be taken. I carry my M&P Shield 9 Plus Performance Center with the 3.1" barrel. It does come with a 4" barrel and optic ready. It is lite weight and decent capacity. But there are plenty of guns that fit into this category.
Good deal. I would agree that you have arrived at the optimal P365. Quite the journey but well worth it. I have looked at the WC grip module myself. I have smaller hands but still, the grip looks terrific. Enjoy!
I agree with this argument, however I see it differently.
I know, my Staccato cost more than EDC should… but there are two arguments that drove me to carry expensive pistol.
What are the chances I use it for self defense? Low. But if I’m gonna use it I know it won’t fail. If my firearm will be taken, I will be OK with it, because I know it saved my life. And there is no price for it.
I’ve been carrying few Glockish mid price handguns. The one I really loved (PPQ) I gave to my son. The others didn’t earn my trust as a lifesaver. If I’ll be in the position to fight for my life I want be sure that every single round that leaves the barrel hit exactly where I want it to hit. And I’m not talking about range time - for this any handgun is OK. Staccato gives me the confidence and trust. These are needed in case of gunfight.
I EDC a Glock 30 or a Glock 41. I have an additional Glock 30 and a Glock 41. Basic Glocks so if I have to defend myself, I have the exact same pistol.
The gun I shoot the best is my FNZ .45 Tactical with several enhancements. I won’t even EDC to get to a competition. To much money tied to it. So it isn’t just you.
I used to think the same as y’all @Johnnyq60 and @Zavier_D , but recently I kinda messed that up. My current EDC is about $1400 not including ammo or holster. I know it’ll work hard and will handle whatever it has to if I ever need it to, and with a spare mag I have 45 total rounds. The downside is it is an extra large firearm…larger than fs. The point is, to me, cost isn’t as important if it means confidence and trust in my firearm in the case that I have to use it. I’d get a hipoint just as fast as an xdm, if I could trust them to work when I need them to (not that there’s anything wrong with hipoint, they just aren’t for me personally.)
Trust, comfort / convenience and reliability.
In my case Glock gets trust & reliability.
There are few other mid price handguns with convenience & reliability but no trust.
I need all 3 together.
If you don’t care, you will really enjoy consistently same feeling every time you press the trigger. No matter how hard or softly you press that trigger - the result is always the same.
