If you’ve been following MacBroz/JAYWETH for a while, you already know I don’t buy gear just to let it sit in a safe. Everything here has a purpose. Training. Competition. Growth.So this week’s blog is about the newest addition to that journey: the Staccato P.
And yeah… I still can’t quite believe I now own two Staccatos in less than a year.

A Quick Look at the Staccato P’s Roots
The Staccato P has a serious lineage. Originally born from STI’s duty and competition DNA, the platform evolved as law enforcement and professional end users demanded a 2011 that could survive hard use while still delivering match-grade performance. When STI became Staccato, the focus sharpened: reliability first, accuracy always, and ergonomics that work under stress.
The P sits in that sweet spot—large enough to run fast and flat, refined enough to be trusted on duty, and versatile enough to dominate in competition settings.
What Shooters Are Saying (And It’s Mostly Praise)
Public opinion on the Staccato P has been overwhelmingly positive—and for good reason. Across competition shooters, instructors, and everyday enthusiasts, the feedback tends to hit the same themes:
Excellent out-of-the-box reliability
Flat, controllable recoil impulse
A trigger that makes shooting well feel earned, not accidental
Build quality that justifies the reputation
Is it perfect for everyone? No firearm is. But the consensus is clear: the Staccato P does exactly what it was designed to do—and does it consistently.
This One’s Personal (Not Sponsored)
I want to be very clear about this project:This is not a sponsored build. No one sent me this pistol. No one asked me to run it.
This is a personal investment. A personal obsession, honestly.
After falling hard for my Staccato C2, picking up the P felt like the natural next step. The compatibility between the two platforms is huge for me. Same manual of arms. Similar controls. Similar optics setup. If one goes down in a match or training day, transitioning to the other is simple and stress-free.
That kind of redundancy matters when performance is the goal.
Project Plans: Built With Intent
This isn’t staying stock for long.
🔧 Porting – Trying Something New
I’ll be working again with Monsoon Tactical, but this time we’re not doing Lucky 7s. I love that setup—but this P is getting something different. Same attention to detail, same performance mindset, just a new approach. More on that soon.
🎯 Trigger – Red Dirt USA
A flat trigger from Red Dirt USA is absolutely happening. Their triggers are widely trusted in the 2011 world for a reason—clean breaks, excellent reset, and proven durability. This one’s a no-brainer.
🔴 Optic – Consistency Matters
I’m leaning toward another Holosun 507 Comp so it mirrors my C2. Consistency in gear builds confidence. Same dot, same window, same presentation—less thinking, more shooting.
✋ Grip – The One Variable (For Now)
Here’s the open question. The factory P grip supports 17-round magazines, and I already have four of them. My C2 runs 16s. I’m actively debating options that would let the P support my 16-round mags for maximum cross-compatibility. No final answer yet—but there will be updates.
Training Takes Ammo (A Lot of It)
None of this matters without reps. Dry fire is essential, but live fire tells the truth. I’ll be burning through plenty of ammo thanks to Brownells, and if you’re stocking up too, code BOP10 helps take the edge off the cost.
The 2011 journey isn’t cheap—but it’s worth it if you’re intentional.
Proven Mods That Work
One upgrade I’m seriously considering again is the Protocol 001 from Mad Science Tactical. I’m running it in my C2 to pin the grip safety, and it’s been solid. It may end up on the P as well—especially as this build leans harder into competition use. You can save 15% off with code MACBROZ at Mad Science Tactical.
More Than Gear: Purpose Over Collection
MacBroz isn’t about collecting guns for Instagram photos. It’s about shooting better, learning faster, and pushing comfort zones. This Staccato P isn’t a trophy—it’s a tool.
You’ll see more training, more competition, and more honest feedback as this build comes together. Wins, mistakes, lessons learned—all of it.
Because growth doesn’t come from owning cool gear.It comes from using it.
More to come soon.
