New acquisition August 2024

Dunno, I love mine.

Acually, that's exactly why I got this model...for the decocker. It may end up replacing my current EDC, a Beretta 80X, which also has a decocker. It's a comfort thing, and it's what I'm used to.

not a fan. They are harder to work on and think decockers vs a thumb safety are a useless feature.

You rack the slide once, then de cock once. No need to have a dedicated lever.

Lorena Bobbitt was a decocker………….

If you are going to practice DA/SA a decocker is a great feature. Like you draw from holster, take two shots, decock and reholster, then repeat. It’s faster and safer than decocking manually.

I believe there are doctors who specialize in that these days!

lol. Nope. Hard pass.

I’ll drop the hammer on my own and safely.

Sorry. You are not going to convince me a decocker is the way to go ever.

But you do you.

Yup, 100% agree.

Not trying to convince you, I’m trying to explain why people like them.

I scored the ultimate on the black market. I got 5 projectiles with it also. Going to try one out this weekend just to get the feel of what it can do for when it's really needed.

Keep a spray can handy.

Bought this 22 the end of July. GRWolf case in August. Nice case for a hundred bucks from Amazon. Will be getting a new grip and stock soon.

 

[Parker Duofold]

Am I truly the first one this month? This has to be a dupe!?

Got a new bag... just a bag, nothing inside of it.

That bag is what I want next... I hope I get a free gun with it! I passed on two in the past month or so... Had other purchases to do first...

 

[ThirtyOne]

My first Staccato.

you might have to modify a stock to fit it and stay in place, since it's the MA version, the buffer tube is not real... And check the size, it might be a "commercial" profile.

Also the grip is an issue as well as the lower is a bit wider than a normal lower. So a grip with a web might not fit.

I did try to do exactly what you wanted to do. I gave up on the stock idea, and I found a grip that did fit.

There's one in my safe with my name on it

When they first announced this bag like 5 years ago, I wanted it. Then, it seemed like it was never actually going to make it to market. I kind of gave up on it and forgot about it.

Then they came out with the optics ready version, and it renewed my interest. Now I need an SRO plate and those are continually out of stock.

@drgrant Can you merge this into the gun gallery thread where it should be

I was on a list for the non optics, was hard to find, then I got a text from an Egyptian guy who offered me an Optics one, but I blew my wad with him ~2 weeks before on a Shadow2 Compact (as I was hungry and impatient for another CZ).

Took me over a year to get an Optics plate for my TSO... I did get a plate for the S2C from Cajun with no wait.

Hmmm.. I wonder if that Egyptian guy still has it. For competition bags, I feel better having a backup. You never know when a zipper may break

I think i managed to do this, lol

Pretty sure that particular one was snatched up.

Always good to have extra bags!
