I recently acquired another used Staccato P 4.4" 2011 handgun with a Holosun 509T optic already installed for a really good price. It has a few small scratches and other signs of wear on the finish, but overall it is in good condition. I've owned one of these before as a shop gun for RFV Tactical, but sold it to fund the purchase of my Staccato Heritage P. While I'm not a fan of the aesthetics of the P 4.4", I could not pass up the great deal. I haven't done anything to the gun other than my typical trigger tuning and grip texture, so there isn't anything "custom" about it. I've realized that I have been apprehensive about choosing to carry and train with certain guns because I really like they way they look and I don't want to scratch them up or wear them out by shooting them frequently. That emotional attachment to a pistol is certainly a silly thing, but it is a thing none the less. My perspective of the P 4.4" has changed a little bit in that I believe it would be a great gun to train with regularly, because I have no emotional attachment to it and its performance and reliability are perfectly adequate. This should allow me to focus more on improving my skills as a shooter rather than selecting a gun to train with based on its aesthetics and/or performance.
