Patrolmen Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 50th Birthday this year and my wife wants to get me a nice gun. I narrowed it down to these two, so far. I like the P because I could use it for duty if I wanted. But I found a new DVC L in the LGS today and I really like that. I shot my buddies DVC Tactical and it is really nice. Never shot a Staccato, but the action does not feel as smooth as the DVC.? I also would like to get back into 3-gun and maybe some other stuff, IDPA etc. Any restrictions on either of these guns that I couldn't use one is competition? Pro's and Con's of each? My first post in many years, but I am ready to get back into the game again. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 So, I can't remember exactly what the DVC L is, but I'm guessing it's a 5.4" gun? The Stacatto P does make an excellent duty gun (ask me how I know), but depending on the date of manufacture, it may not be IDPA legal. The new ones are 4.4" guns with a bull barrel which makes them illegal for IDPA. For 3gun, USPSA and general plinking the DVC-L might make a better choice. The DVC line of pistols also had lighter/better triggers and the DLC was brighter/more shiny, when they outsourced it. That may be why it felt smoother to you.

Patrolmen Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thank you for the info. Yes the Staccato would be a 2020 with the 4.4" bull barrel. The DVC L is a 5" with gold barrel, no rail, full dust cover. No use for duty though. Really stuck on this one. I wish I could fire a Staccato P just to see. I am assuming they are way better than a normal Colt 1911??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 No comparison to the old Colt 1911. I'm happy to meet you somewhere with my examples.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
