Staccato XC is an over priced out of date pistol

Can you please elaborate on the specific performance differences? I genuinly want to know as I'm strongly considering the Kimber 2k11 as a next purchase.
It’s like a 911 turbo or 911 turbo s. One costs more and is technically nicer but will most people really see a real life difference? Maybe a pro driver

Yes, this is a good comparison. The problem with the Turbo S is it has options that aren't great for city driving, like ceramic brakes (PCCB). Good for the track, but then why not get a GT3RS? The Turbo is the smarter buy, even if you track the car occasionally. Those brakes wear out far too quickly, too.

So same thing with buying a 2011; what is the use case? Which fits your intended use (and personality)?

I'm inclined to skip these for either a Bul Armory off roster or the Sig P211 GT4, if it gets approved and I still like it after I shoot it.

Not gonna lie, I think the one gun that truly comes close/even beats the XC in terms of feel and value, is the Bul SAS Tac Pro.
