guns

I never picked up a Griplight when they were common, and nowadays they are hard to find and priced to match the rarity.

I'd like something with the same form factor. I don't mind if I have to provide my own switch for the light, so long as I can easily install the light in a similar layout. I'm not looking for one of those hideous aliexpress grips with a super cheap flashlight that sits on top of the grip. The light being forward of the grip is a big draw. I'm hoping some company makes a clone or design inspired by the Griplight out there.

Lemme know if memes aren't alright, I see that both the armed queers comm and this one (along with a bunch of other small guns comms) are basically just single poster communities, so I figured I'd crosspost to help contribute when I see something that'd be a good fit :)

Consider watching this video with FreeTube, a nifty open-source program that lets you watch YouTube videos without Google spying on your viewing habits!

Combined with Libredirect, which automatically opens youtube links in Freetube, it becomes really slick and effortless to use.

Interesting build from the era where AR rifles were going through a time of rapid iterative improvements.

The tube fore end was still cutting edge stuff at the time. Interestingly, no contemplation of any kind of monolithic rail. There is still a fixed front sight block, which is not just a left over feature, but an intentionally kept one. The front sight is advertised as having tritium illumination.

The fixed Sully stock which keeps the bottom facing slingloop is another sign of the times this was designed in. I think pretty much any high end AR outside of a DMR role (and even then) these days is coming with a collapsible stock. This one comes with a fancy upgraded fixed stock.

The Staccato Handgun has developed a cult like following amongst the gun guy crowd. Some love it, some hate it. It has become the premier handgun for law enforcement and I weapon that I was excited to check out.

The Staccato 2011 is a modern, high-performance pistol that traces its roots back to the classic 1911 design, which has been a staple of firearms since its introduction by John Browning in the early 20th century. The original 1911 was renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and stopping power, making it a preferred sidearm for military and law enforcement personnel. The 2011, an evolution of this iconic platform, was developed to meet the needs of competitive shooters and law enforcement agencies seeking greater capacity and enhanced performance. The Staccato brand, known for its commitment to precision engineering and quality, has become synonymous with high-end pistols that push the boundaries of the traditional 1911 design.

The Staccato 2011 stands out for its unique combination of features that set it apart from its predecessors. One of the most notable specifications is its double-stack magazine, which allows for a significantly higher round capacity compared to the single-stack 1911. The 2011 also features a polymer grip module combined with a steel frame, creating a lightweight yet durable firearm. Additionally, the Staccato 2011 is equipped with a match-grade barrel, a crisp trigger pull, and a modular design that allows for easy customization. These specifications make it a versatile weapon, suitable for a range of applications, from competition shooting to personal defense.

In contemporary use, the Staccato 2011 has gained widespread popularity among competitive shooters, law enforcement agencies, and firearm enthusiasts. Its blend of traditional 1911 ergonomics with modern enhancements has made it a favorite for those who demand precision and reliability. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the increased magazine capacity and improved accuracy, while competitive shooters are drawn to its performance and customization options. The Staccato 2011 is often praised for its smooth shooting experience, with many users noting its ability to maintain accuracy even during rapid-fire situations. Overall, the Staccato 2011 continues to build on the legacy of the 1911, offering a cutting-edge solution for modern shooters.

Rest in peace Paul.
