And don't use the strap, or better yeet (pun intended) cut it off.Make sure you use a nylon Uncle Mikes holster.

I'd carry a Hi-point before I would carry any Taurus automaticIf I got a deal on one of the Hi-Points painted in $100 bills, I might even open carry it!
Price out the window, I would carry the Staccato daily. Knowing if ever needed, I might lose it for a while as evidenceStaccato C2
Redefining the compact carry gun. With double-stack capacity and unprecedented accuracy, the C2 allows shooters to push...staccato2011.com
I really like the Staccato 2011 and the compact model is just so nice and cool! But I would find it hard to use it as a carry.
Positives:
Capacity 15-16 9mm
Weight
Build quality
Accuracy
Negatives:
Manual safety
Full size grip
Price
The price is the primary reason I would not carry it. If you use a firearm to defend yourself it will be collected by law enforcement.
A Glock 19 has the same capacity, but cost around 20% of the Staccato.
Smart man lolI'd carry a Hi-point before I would carry any Taurus automatic
There was a mass shooting locally a few years ago I have a friend who is on officer that was there. They were able to eliminate the threat because he was trying to clear a jam in a Taurus G2 I have never had or seen a Taurus that could get through 500 rounds without a failure. On the other hand I threw almost 400 rounds of 9mm in a bag brass, steel and aluminum cases 3 different bullet weights. And 60-80 of the old dirtiest rounds you have ever seen I randomly loaded the in magazines for two Glocks without a failure .I used to live about 40 miles from where Hi-points are made. I have had a couple and shot dozens of them . I have seen exactly 1 Hi-point have a problem they paid for the shipping fixed it and sent 3 extra magazines for his troubles.You're welcome to it, I'll stick with my Gx4.
I love to give Taurus semiautos a hard time, but there's a lot of documented videos and cases of Taurus pistols going over 500 rounds without failure. I've never heard of Glock, S&W, HK, Beretta, longevity and that's why I don't prefer them, but I have zero doubt that the average Taurus semiautos that has been QC'd correctly will go way beyond 500 rounds without failure.There was a mass shooting locally a few years ago I have a friend who is on officer that was there.

The police responding had an AR fail too but my friend was not sure of the brand on that
That is probably true but I personally have never seen one. I have owned 3 Tauruses the 2 autos were junk even after going back to the factory . I'm the old gun nut that the young guys come to for help and to show their new toys,. I have seen probably 40% of the Taurus automatic have to go back to the factory. The one that I have not seen problems with are the 92 clones. Then everyone wants to bad Mouth Hi-points out of 30-40 guns I saw one need to go back to the factory. Now no manufacturer is perfect . I sent a Ruger back a year ago . But approximately 40 % having issues is just too much for me to trust. BTW the 3 Taurus I had was a revolver model 94 22LR that was a very good gun I would carry one of the Taurus snubby revolvers (after break in of course) with no problemI love to give Taurus semiautos a hard time, but there's a lot of documented videos and cases of Taurus pistols going over 500 rounds without failure.
I'm about the same except I have Glock platforms.I keep it simple... I standardized on the M&P platform about 2008/2009 and still carry that setup to this day. Familiarity of ergonomics is my main thought for defensive purposes.
I train and can run and speedload my revolvers pretty well. But I never carry as primary ever for reasons stated above. The deep concealed J frame is the one exception for EDC.
Only other exceptions are dressing up I have my Shields (same ergo), or hunting I carrying various 10 mm's in 1911 or plastics frames.
been my expereince just having tends to midigate any issue. FBI says no more than one or two should be all you need in a sd situation. I'm biased toward single but whateveer works for you my friend.1. I won't carry a single action. Yes. there are those that can shoot them as fast as a DA. I'm not one of them. Statically, your fight should be over in 5 or 6 rounds. But if you need a reload you're screwed.
2. A 41 or 44 magnum. I'm often in very congested areas. The over penetration is a genuine concern. Carry specials? I can get the same performance from a 45 ACP in a more compact package.
3. A full load 357. Once again too much penetration.
4. AR or AK "handguns". Way too big and they are awkward to shoot.
Reality is, you have no idea as to what you might get, or how many rounds it will take to solve it. Stats mean nothing when you get to be an outlier and have to deal with something you're always told not to expect. Hope you at least planned a little for the unexpected.been my expereince just having tends to midigate any issue. FBI says no more than one or two should be all you need in a sd situation.

I broke the cardinal sin.... I carried a pistol that I only shot 50 rounds through.
My LCP Max. It shot nicer than my LCPII. The sights are so much better. Popping cans at 15 yards! It will do.
I understand the other weapons you listed but not this one. I have an SR1911 in 10mm and once I get a few more rounds through it, it will get carried.I don’t carry my 10mm 1911
This guy thinks that Glock s are the bottom tier of guns. I've noticed that many people think that and I wonder where the hell did they get this information from. YouTube maybe. Or do they just believe **** talkers that only like 1911 next to HK? Glocks are the most robust guns in the world. The polymer that is used is patented and The formula is kept secret by Glock. Every gun manufacturer in the world will start using that polymer if that patent gets released. And the metal parts are of the utmost highest quality possible on guns. If a 1911 was built with Glock quality metal, it will cost nearly $5,000 and it would be indestructible.Wait, you'll carry a Taurus but not a Glock?
