Accuracy Olympics
Let the fun begin. With both of these pistols red dot equipped, I figured accuracy testing at 25 yards would be a breeze. And it was. Using my new favorite Ransom Multi Caliber rest, I shot multiple five-shot groups from 25 yards with each of the four ammo types. Since I was shooting two different optics, the Trijicon SRO and Holosun 508, I switched them between guns halfway through the shooting, so I shot each ammo type from each pistol with each optic. While unlikely, I wanted to make sure none of the accuracy results were affected by any difference in sighting.
Starting with the compact C2 model, I shot multiple groups with each ammo type and averaged the results. The Federal HST worked out to 1.93″, while the Norma MHP and Black Hills HoneyBadger printed 1.39″ and 2.0″ respectively. The Syntech Action Pistol surprised at just 1.69″.
The P model shrank those groups, with the Black Hills HoneyBadger winning the day with an average group size of just 0.92″. Hard to argue with that. The Federal HST, Norma MHP and Syntech Action pistol measured averages of 1.39″, 1.29″ and 1.92″.
Here’s the kicker. When I ran the math of all ammo types shot all day, and calculated a single combined average, I came up with 1.38″ for everything fired from the P model pistol. Consider me impressed. I should also note I was probably being limited by the red dots themselves. The Trijicon and Holosun red dots feature 2.5 and 2.0 MOA dots, which cover 0.635″ and 0.5″ of the target at 25 yards. Considering the little bit of dot blur, I have to wonder what a fine-crosshair handgun scope would yield with this pistol.
The Staccato 2011 C2 starts at $1,999 for the iron sight version. The optics ready model sells for $2,299. The P model ranges from $2,099 to $2,399.
