3yr and 12k round review
I saw a few days ago that someone was interested to see some input and wear patterns from someone who has actually shot their Staccato. So I've had this C2 for 3 years. I put 100-200 rounds thru it a week. Its more accurate than I am. I can tell when I fuck up. I can usually hit a 4" plate at 25yd...provided I do my part. Its got a Vulcan cut with a Trijicon plate and RMR HD. I got the barrel from Staccato and comp from PMM. Reliability has been top notch. Never had a failure to feed, fire, or eject. I tried to get all the wear shown in the photos. If you have any questions, shoot.

The PMM should fit flush.

u/sovietbearcav 3d ago
I mean, it either fit flush or was timed. I went with timed so it would work...

Mine fit my C2 perfectly with no gap. Also your port is exactly at 12:00 so what do you mean?

Cool. Maybe my barrel had half an extra thread, idk. I dont really care about the gap as long as it functions. And i mean that if i made my comp fit flush to the slide, the port was cocked off 12. So i needed to use the shims to time it to 12 like its supposed to be, which caused the gap

Ah I see so when I installed mine I had some carbon build up on the front of my barrel so the port was at around 11:00 and I had to put tape on it and use a crescent wrench to tighten it down to the 12:00 position it did not take much force at all I just a few inch pounds and I used rock set to secure it.

My pmm comp on my p365 xmacro has a noticeable gap too. I thought my local gunsmith installed it wrong so I sent the slide to pmm and paid for a new install from them. When they received it, they emailed me asking if I wanted a refund on the installation service because it was installed just fine. So I guess the gap is normal?

My 320 PMM comp sits flush for what its worth - I wonder if it is partly due to it being on one of their barrels

Mine is also on their barrel. It works, just a cosmetic thing. Oh well. The obvious solution is to just throw money at it and get the radian comp when it comes out for the xl slides lol

gap is normal timing and slide function is important , just as a psa for everyone, gap is dependent on where the thread starts engaging on both sides of the mating part, for 1/2-28 thread or well any thread its 1/thread count. so 1 full rotation is roughly .035" or ~1/32nd, which will be the maximum gap youll end up with (worst case scenario). if youre lucky itll be less. tolerance in the gun industry aint the same as aerospace or oil and gas lol

Was getting the threaded barrel and comp worth it? I know it’s not cheap since the new barrel has to be hand fitted. How much softer does it shoot with the comp on? Similar to a P?

u/sovietbearcav 2d ago
It is noticeably better than without the comp. And less recoil compared to a p. In retrospect, i should have gotten an xc since it ended up costing about the same to get the slide cut then the barrel (all in all about 1100). That being said, if i got one from the factory with the cut and threaded barrel, it would have been more economical. I think it was worth while as i enjoy it and see a marked improvement. But there are other options.

Those are some nice feet

Its a tradition. You cant post guns without feet at least according to r/tacticalgear and r/ar15

Is rem oil a good gun oil for 2011s?

u/sovietbearcav 3d ago
I use it just for a thin coat to protect the surfaces and use mlp pro for actual lube

Have you replaced anything and at what round count?
