Yeah, that's where my money just went. I always liked the Gen 1 P. It looked good, by all accounts was well built, accurate, ran well, and 'more treebark'. Seems a good option to scratch the 2011 itch and evaluate it for myself. Very interested in putting it next to my 226 SAO and DA/SA, as well as my P07. If I like it, I'll think about sending it back to Staccato for the Optic milling.
I'm coming up on an another shoulder surgery which means a month(s) of one arm shooting this summer. This'll be interesting to look in consideration for that. My current title holder for best all around one armed champ was a worked over 226 DA/SA with irons. P07 with irons was best for mid size+carry option(for one armed manipulation, I prefer irons. I don't like regularly hooking a firm surface with an optic for slide manipulation).
Once I see what mags it actually has with it(looks like 2 Gen 1 Staccato Mags), I'll swap the internals for whatever the latest hotness is. Additionally, I will grab a few more from Staccato; looks like no reason to go MBX over Staccato for duty/reliability; I'll take suggestions otherwise. A couple of decent holsters are mandatory so I can verify that a Staccato P costs more for concealed carry and for duty/training/competition than 'x'. I have to see if I can find a good source for springs for the 4.15 recoil master guiderod; they seem to be in very short supply. Otherwise, I'll swap it with a 4.15 tool less guiderod since springs for those seem to be much more available (the more recent Heritage P came with the tool-less).
I've got a few k of decent ammo sitting around...I'll buy more. Of course, that's what I really should be doing. I try to be relatively agnostic about triggers after wasting my youth loving the 1911 trigger because it gave me a pass on some very poor trigger control when I carried for work. Now, I endeavor to focus on practical performance, not 'cool gun fondling'. (some) Modern training is so far ahead of the high speed training from 30 years ago.
I keep wondering if this goes the same way Duke's foray with the XC went...and with the Stack-a-toe thread saying "I told you so", but even without hookers and blow, it'll be fun.
