Ed’s verdict
My current favorite pistol is the 6mm Pro Shop Staccato C2: it's very comfortable, it just works really well, and at $160 it's not crazy expensive. If I could only have one pistol it would probably be my upgraded Glock 45, because it always just runs. The VFC Sig pistols look great but mine have been unreliable, and I've generally had bad luck with AAP-01 pistols too. A lot of these end up sitting on the shelf, but the Staccato is the one I'd tell a friend to buy right now.

| value | “it's actually not crazy expensive; buy a pistol for a friend for Christmas right now, it may well be this one” at 54:01 | 9 |

Caveats
- Collection video covering ~24 pistols, not a single-product review; 6 most-discussed listed, primary = Staccato C2 (Ed's stated current favorite).
- Ed explicitly declined to chrono each pistol, so all FPS/joule/consistency fields are null.
- Transcript timestamps restart at 00:00 near the 60-minute mark; the AAP-01 failure time is from that second numbering.
- Ed never gives numeric scores; all scores are inferred from his language.
- Prices are retailer figures Ed read off his screen (mostly Evike); not independently verified.
- Staccato C2 slide-lock fault followed Ed's own hop-rubber install, not out-of-the-box performance.
- Aspect scores refer to the primary product only.
