This Just Changed Compact 2011s
About this video
Colion reviews the Staccato C4X compact pistol at the Staccato Ranch, focusing on its ergonomics, compensator performance, and versatility. He explains that the C4X accepts Glock magazines, features a short grip with a 4-inch barrel and compensator, and shoots exceptionally flat for its size. Colion argues this may be Staccato’s most versatile gun, balancing concealability with full-size performance and controllability.
Key takeaways
- Colion praises the C4X’s ergonomics, particularly the magwell design that locks the grip into the shooter’s hand and makes the gun feel balanced despite being slightly front-heavy
- According to Colion, the compensator is highly effective, making the gun shoot much flatter than expected for its compact size without excessive concussive force
- Colion believes the C4X is highly versatile, being small enough to conceal carry regularly while offering a 4-inch barrel for optimal ballistic performance
- Colion highlights the forward-mounted iron sights ahead of the red dot as beneficial, helping the shooter pick up the optic first without distraction from the rear sight
