apetrulis01 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 So I am looking to purchase a new handgun primarily to use in competition. IDPA / 3 Gun / USPSA I am looking at either the CZ SP-01 Shadow Custom, Beretta 92X Performance or the Staccato P. Thoughts? Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostenelli Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I love the staccato pistols. Well balanced. Cz seemed really heavy on the grip can’t remember which one I shot but the trigger was really nice. I’ve only shot the m9 and wasn’t a fan but I’m sure the X is tricked out version.

RangerTrace Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hey, lets be honest, you really don't seem like the kind of member/shooter to ask this sort of question. The Staccato, no matter what lmtdmstr says, will shoot better that the other guns you have listed. Yes, it's going to cost a little more too, but you can get the 15% discount if you don't mind waiting 60 days. FWIW, I just got a C2 last week for work/UC carry and they have actually improved a little most in the last two years. I didn't have to change mag springs to get it to feed duty ammo. And they come with a Dawson Precision aluminum base pad now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking for a friend l It's their standard LEO discount.....I "might" get a little better deal since I helped them sell 300+ guns though....

Jim Watson Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Check the specifications of the exact guns you are looking at. Most of the current crop of CZ and Beretta match guns are too heavy for IDPA at nearly three pounds. The Staccato P seems a bit short and light for my tastes, too bad they had to have that extra half inch on the XL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45 Raven Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 A CZ Shadow SP-01 meets IDPA weight limits for ESP, SSP. and CO divisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Sure enough. I hit on one of the family at 46 oz. but the bare SP01 is only 41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So from the rumors if it makes box/weight it’s good to go. I’d personally want some confirmation from the md before a state match but the xl shoots very similar to the xc and if the xl Is idpa legal that’s almost cheating at that point haha.

Jim Watson Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I was going by a cataloged 8.9" OAL vs a 8.75" Box but if you can angle it enough to fit, great; it looks like a good ESP. I agree, I would want something official in hand before buying unless I was getting it for something else and IDPA as an add-on.. They don't advertise it for IDPA, just USPSA, 3-gun, and Tactical Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bostenelli Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Yea staccato is very conservative in what they claim is idpa legal. Their 4.15” P on the site said not idpa legal but since it’s 415v425 it is under esp. xl would be hard to pass the red face test at a state idpa match haha.

verla Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Try the staccato P, you will like it for 3 gun, USPSA, and IDPA. They will let you try one at major matches- try the 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
