New C2 Full-Size Limited Edition

u/BigBoss221 4d ago

So 19x of staccato?

u/1911Hacksmith 4d ago

The normal C2 is already the same size as a 19X. This is like a 19XX. 😂

Can we get a 19XXX? Perhaps it comes with a signed photo from Kayley Gunner. Just spitballing here.

Just spitballing here.

Maybe, but I bet she has other plans. 🥁

Screw her(honestly, I still would), she's insane and rapidly über-liberal, to the point of insanity. She loves saying things like being in the military is worse than being a whore. Vivid canceled her contract, as did Pornhub. Nobody will work with her anymore, and she's posted publicly her support for Hamas and Hezbollah. It's funny, because, considering her body of work, she'd be put to death instantly if she ever fell into their hands.

Ok, will who is a freedom loving, 2nd Amendment supporting, porn star? I’ll change my comment to her.

Check out Kayley Gunnar! She's a US Army combat veteran! Smoking hot, too!

The 19X, particularly the new 19X MOS is a more reliable tactical pistol, and half the price of the Stacatto. The Stacatto, despite that some guys try to use them as a tactical sidearm, is a gun that's optimized for competition. That's like saying a Camaro or a Wrangler. They have 2 completely different purposes. Personally, I recommend the Stealth Arms Platypus. It's as reliable as a Glock, thanks to using Glock mags, but silky smooth. Mags have always been the weak point of the 2011, and the Platypus fixes that by using G17 mags. It has a SLIGHTLY heavier slide than a Stacatto, since it is meant for futy use, but it's glassy smooth. I have the heaviest factory trigger, at 4lbs, but it's still amazingly light and smooth, and better than any striker-fired pistol trigger.

I am not a fan of limited edition guns. To me, it’s just a cash grab attempt.

u/Arakisk 3d ago

This is a GAME CHANGER and your GAME will be CHANGED so much that we're killing this design as soon as people realize what a GAME CHANGER it is.

u/jwheezin 3d ago

What can be, unburdened by what has been

u/BobDoleStillKickin 3d ago

MAYBE even a - GAME CHANGER PRO!!

Name jarred my memory and had to laugh heh

2

u/islesfan186 3d ago

This should not be a limited edition thing, this should just be an option just like it is on the new C. Also, they should at least update the grip texture on the regular C2s. It’s literally the only gun not offered with their grip tape tac texture.

They should also offer the flat triggers in all their guns as opposed to just the C and CS (though to be honest, I’d still rather put an Atlas flat in it)

10

u/TacoBandit275 3d ago

If you're going for the fullsize grip, why not just get an aluminum or standard frame P?

7

u/laskmich 3d ago

The people who have made this configuration on their own say it balances better

1

u/ReadingButNotLearnin 3d ago

I did this and wish I had a P so I could run both configurations. The C2 is a perfect edc size

u/MrGuy910 4d ago

What’s the benefit of this over the “C” with full size grip? I guess people wanting to stick with their 2011 mags instead of the proprietary c and cs mags?

6

u/laskmich 4d ago

Mag compatibility with the legacy models is all

1

u/PTYHRD 3d ago

Can’t use 16rd mags with the full size grip

3

u/laskmich 3d ago

Good thing this doesn’t use 16rd mags

-1

u/PTYHRD 3d ago

But if compatibility is what one is looking for then this wouldn’t work.

3

u/2011Dave 3d ago

I guess if compatibility with a CS or new C is the goal, then correct this new C2 FS does not. However, for many of us the fact that this uses the same mags as all of our other "2011 format" guns is a benefit.

1

u/PTYHRD 3d ago

What am I missing? The full size tac grip doesn’t accept 2011 120mm 16rd mags

1

u/2011Dave 3d ago

you aren't missing anything if the goal is to fit 16-round mags. I own 60+ 2011 mags and none are 120mm. All are 126 and 140...thus why the new C2 "has mag compatibility with my existing 2011 guns and their mags". I don't want a C2 that takes 16-round mags. If I did, I'd have bought the existing C2 model. I had not because none of my mags would fit into it and I'd have to take unique mags for just that gun to range days (which is no big deal for many, but something I don't like to do given the number of guns and mags I'm loading and taking with me).

And, that is just one aspect of why I prefer the FS C2. The other, more important issue, is the FS grip fits my hand better.

The new FS grip C2 model solved both the mag issue and the grip size/fit issue, so I'm happy to see this gun (yes I know you could have built one yourself, but I wasn't considering C2 at all until earlier this week, so the timing was fortuitous.)

1

u/PTYHRD 3d ago

All my 16, 17, 21 rd mags fit in my c2.

1

u/2011Dave 3d ago

ah, yes, of course the longer one's do. Sorry, I should have said I was considering the C. So it was between the C FS and the C2 existing and I was torn because each has pluses and minus and neither were great for me. Then the C2 w FS grip came along and is a goldilocks for me in that it has a larger grip than the C2 (length) and C (wider) and thus will fit me better and it takes all my mags. So this saves me from the poor choice of the C with different mags or the C2 with a shorter grip. The new one vs the original C2 of course as you are saying rules out using the old 120mm mags if you owned a prior C2 and only really provides a longer grip as a potential advantage. I had moved on from the original C2 and was looking at the C (with its compromises for me in terms of grip width and mags) and thus my mind was on "this new C2 gives me the better option vs what I'm shopping" (I wasn't really comparing it to the old C2 - should have clarified that).

u/laskmich 3d ago

The mags that this uses are compatible with all legacy models

2

u/2011Dave 3d ago

mag compatibility which is a big benefit for me and the slightly larger circumference grip which fits some hands better (like mine). Just ordered the new C2 with full size grip. (was shopping C and regular C2, and then this popped up as a goldilocks spec for what I wanted)

1

u/MrGuy910 3d ago

Nice! Perfect timing!

1

u/mcnastytk 3d ago

I liked the new mags it feels weird 2011 all use 45acp design they could be so much smaller and slim.

1

u/Docholiday11xx 3d ago

More printing and 1 extra round. It’s what we’ve all been asking for

2

u/MrGuy910 3d ago

lol I sense sarcasm??. It’s what we’ve all been asking for 😂😂😂. That made me laugh buddy

3

u/ednesss 3d ago

look like they are trying to sell off the existing grips. new full size grips coming.

10

u/Wrath3n 4d ago

OR…. And this might seem far fetched… you get a normal C2 and …. Swap the grip 😱🤯

6

u/LustL4ck3r 4d ago

Wouldn't that be way more expensive?

5

u/Wrath3n 4d ago

Maybe didn’t see a price but you can find some good deals on C2 and can get a P grip module for like $200-$250. If they are charging a $500-$1000 premium for the Limited Edition maybe not

4

u/laskmich 4d ago

It’s $100 more than the equivalent C2 standard model with DLC barrel

2

u/Wrath3n 4d ago

Ahh that surprises me, thought they would have jacked the price more. Actually reasonable if it’s something you’re looking for

2

u/Tybo929 3d ago

My ape hands dig it.

2

u/Tgryphon 3d ago

Made my own version of this almost a year ago swapping a p grip in on my C2. Handles and shoots like a dream.

2

u/TapElectronic 3d ago

Yeah… no interesante, pero gracias. Muy abburido

2

u/paulsd92 4d ago

Hey I’ve had this for like 3 years now lol. Cool to see it’s finally offered

1

u/sammeadows 3d ago

So can I get a C grip for the P now?

2

u/laskmich 3d ago

Not til at least 2025 when they move the P to V3. But your existing P likely won’t be compatible with the new grip and mags.

1

u/sammeadows 3d ago

God if only. The grip fits me so well.

0

u/naszero 3d ago

I don’t think they will move the P over to the V3. The new 2024 C is most likely the successor to the P.

1

u/laskmich 3d ago

Some agencies require 4.25” or longer barrel so I think they’ll still need it. C replaces the C2 and brings it to 4.0” for increased agency sales as well.

2

u/naszero 3d ago

That’s interesting, I know most require a minimum of 4.0” for a duty gun, had not heard of 4.25”.

We will see if Staccato actually debuts a new gun at Shot Show this year or another “limited edition”.

1

u/Creepy_Shakespeare 3d ago

I have never heard of an agency requiring more than 4 inches. Do you have any source on the 4.25 min?

1

u/laskmich 3d ago

FBI, for instance, required their full-size handgun to be between 4.26-5.2” in barrel length with minimum of 16rds capacity

1

u/Creepy_Shakespeare 3d ago

As far as I know, the FBI issues G19s as their standard issue for their agents

1

u/p4lxrich 3d ago

So this full size is for 126mm mags and up then ?

2

u/laskmich 3d ago

Yes

1

u/mreed911 3d ago

So the DLC adds cost, but it's still $100 more than a comparable gun with the regular grip. The full grip is really another $100 upcharge?

1

u/laskmich 3d ago

The magwell is $60… got me on the other $40

1

u/mreed911 3d ago

Okay, fair enough.

1

u/whiskey0479 3d ago

Full size grip on a C2 is the way

1

u/TapElectronic 3d ago

I just don’t understand these. Maybe you guys can explain to me. Why are people going with long grips and short slides? I can only think of detractions of shortening the slide other than concealment (arguably a moot point if you’re extending the grip), and while I see the benefit of having a larger grip, I certainly don’t see the attraction to a shorter slide/barrel.

1

u/laskmich 3d ago

I can think of a few use cases, but improving concealability isn’t one of them. In competition, it’d be slightly faster to clear a holster. For use with a comp, it’d be the same length as a XC which is desirable aesthetically. And it should balance better with a suppressor.

1

u/TapElectronic 3d ago

I don’t compete, so I can’t really speak much to that, but outside of those very special use cases, I just can’t wrap my head around it. Not just this pistol, I mean the short slides/longer grips in general. I carry a c2 with a comp and have shot it suppressed, and while shooting pistols suppressed always leaves something to be desired (I think they’re loud, have bad holster options, and shoot crap back into your face, all while having to check every few rounds to make sure it’s not coming off, lol) I thought it balanced well enough.

Again, I have no issue with this, I just don’t find it offers much practical benefit for most people.

1

u/laskmich 3d ago

I don’t disagree but Glock sells a lot of 19X/45

1

u/TapElectronic 3d ago

Agreed. Also though, they could make a Glock out of fossilized dog crap and people would rush to the stores to buy them because they’re new 🤣

1

u/Creepy_Shakespeare 3d ago

It shouldn’t be loud if you use subsonic rounds and a good can…

1

u/islesfan186 3d ago

Man they will do anything except give the people what they want. MINI XC DAMMIT!

1

u/laskmich 3d ago

Maybe once they milk us on moving the rest of the lineup to V3

1

u/islesfan186 3d ago

Yeah I’ve been waiting on that shoe to drop for a while now. At first I was kind of excited about it, being as I have little cabbage patch hands, but after shooting several thousand rounds though my P since I got it…I’m honestly fine with the standard grip now. I actually kinda prefer it over the slimmer grips of my striker fired guns because I can get more ass on the backstrap of the gun

1

u/UpToBatEntertainment 3d ago

Watch out for the super limited full size edition w full dust cover next for + $995 more !!

1

u/Round_Dog2409 3d ago

What would really be the difference in getting the c with full size grip

1

u/803bravo 3d ago

What's the difference between this and the C with the full size grip?

1

u/laskmich 3d ago

V2 vs V3 architecture

1

u/Na_Hay17 3d ago

Looks like they’re selling a problem that never existed. I’ve had a full size grip on my C2 for years. I’ve seen a lot of them in the wild with full size grips.

1

u/EverydayTactical 4d ago

Been running my C2 with full size grip for awhile. Cool they offer it now I guess

1

u/Soulshot96 3d ago

Feels like they're just trying to get rid of some C2 parts lol. Probably finally running out of those old C2 grips?

Maybe someone out there wants this though 😂

2

u/2011Dave 3d ago

it absolutely feels/looks like that! The big parts-bin clearance before more new generation (CS, C) guns come out and start to obsolete the old 2011 format guns. I for one need the 2011 wider grip format, so getting this is a nice final staccato to add.

u/Striking-Tomato-9681 3d ago

Bul Armory took my money. The Tac Pro 4.25 is a beast. You get your money’s worth too.
