2011 Showdown!
Staccato P w/ Vulcan steel grip
Atlas Apollo
AB Prototype w chunk port and Havoc porting
Viking Vali
Cardinal G2
Nighthawk BDS9
Staccato XL w/ BC steel grip
The overall winner, by a good margin was the Viking Vali. I am so impressed with how flat this thing shoots - and the fit and finish is on par with the Atlas. My 3 year old also thinks its the prettiest gun I own so its also got that going for it.
The AB is the winner when it comes to value. Now I got mine during the special pricing they had before it went "live", but its a great shooting gun and the steel grip soaks up lots of recoil.
The other interesting face-off was between the G2 and the BDS9. The G2 is a softer shooting gun, but the BDS9 has a better return to zero.
Overall was very happy with each gun, but the P is now on the chopping block to let go since it just doesn't compare with the other guns on the table.
