>that's when games become "too difficult".
RE4R difficulty is fantastic in all aspects except for villager magnet grabs and the very occasional bullshit dynamite misting you. You need to learn to aim and to use parries and ducks.

Nah. No guaranteed stagger is good. It's more in line with how old RE played, and the instant staggers in the original made it too easy. Also, wait for your pistol reticle to close before shooting and you do significantly more stagger damage. It almost never takes more than 2 properly aimed pistol headshots to stagger.
