Carry Every Day
Light, Short, Concealable
Aluminum frames in the 23–25 oz range with 3.5–4″ barrels. Small enough to live on your belt through a Steamboat winter, still a full 2011 trigger.

Authorized Dealer · Steamboat SpringsStaccato builds the pistol that 1,600+ law enforcement agencies put on duty belts. We're an authorized dealer — so you can put your hands on one before you spend the money, and order any model in the lineup through us.
A Staccato costs three to four times a good polymer striker gun. Nobody at this counter is going to pretend otherwise. What you're paying for is a single-action 1911 trigger on a double-stack frame — a 4 to 4.5 pound break with a short reset, wrapped around a grip that puts your hand higher and closer to the bore than almost anything else on the market.
The result is measurable: less muzzle flip, faster follow-ups, tighter groups under a timer. That's why they end up on duty belts instead of in safes. Whether that's worth it to you is a personal call — and the honest way to make it is with the gun in your hand.
Crisp 4–4.5 lb break, short positive reset, no take-up wall to fight. The single biggest reason people shoot these better.
Double-stack magazine, 1911 grip angle, high beavertail. Recoil goes straight back into your hand instead of rotating the muzzle up.
Precision-machined 4140 steel or 7075 aluminum frames, fitted barrels, DLC finishes. Lifetime warranty, made in Texas.
Three parts do most of the work. If you've only shot striker-fired pistols, these are the pieces that will feel unfamiliar — in a good way.
Slide, frame, barrel and recoil system are matched at the factory. That fit is where the accuracy comes from — and why the parts count is higher than a polymer gun.
17 to 20 rounds of 9mm in a grip that still indexes like a 1911. Steel magazines, flared magwell, reloads that don't fight you.
Optics bolt to the slide through spacer plates and longer screws instead of a stack-up of adapters. Fewer things to shoot loose. We mount it here.
Staccato pistols are in-store inventory — what you see here is what's physically in the case. Anything else in the lineup, we order. Browse all Staccato-fit gear →

Staccato makes eleven pistols and they are not interchangeable. Pick the job first, then the model. If you're not sure, come in and we'll narrow it down in five minutes.
Aluminum frames in the 23–25 oz range with 3.5–4″ barrels. Small enough to live on your belt through a Steamboat winter, still a full 2011 trigger.
32–34 oz steel frames, 18+1 capacity, weight exactly where it helps you control recoil. This is the side of the lineup agencies buy.
5″ and 5.4″ barrels, compensators, 20-round magazines. Built for a timer — USPSA, steel, or just chasing your own splits.
All 9mm. All single-action. Specs below are Staccato's published figures — weights are without magazine.
The compact HD. Smallest of the new generation, aluminum frame, HOST optic cut. The one most people end up carrying.
C3.6 weight class with an engineered compensator. Noticeably flatter for half an ounce. Fully ambidextrous controls.
Full-size grip, compact barrel. Staccato's crossover gun — a duty pistol most people can still conceal under a jacket.
P4 slide on a longer one-piece sight block barrel. More stability and less flip without giving up cycle speed.
Staccato calls it their most shootable mission-ready pistol. Steel frame plus integrated comp — the hard-use flagship.
The one that built the reputation. Approved for duty by 1,600+ agencies including Houston PD, Las Vegas Metro and the Texas Rangers.
The smallest and lightest 2011 Staccato has built. The factory is winding it down — if one is in our case, that's the supply.
Integrated island compensator on a full-size steel frame. Flat and fast — the closest thing to a race gun you could still carry.
Longest sight radius in the family. Built for competitors who want precision and speed over the timer, not concealment.
Also orderable: the Staccato C and C2, plus Core / Preferred / Custom package levels, DLC or stainless finishes, and state-compliant configurations. Ask and we'll price it. Call the shop →
No configurator games, no drop-ship surprises. Three steps, one phone number, and a human who knows your name when it lands.
Carry, duty, competition, or a first 2011. We'll talk through models, package levels, finish, optic cut and what it actually costs — before anything gets ordered.
We order on our dealer account and take a deposit. Lead times move around by model and package, so we quote what the factory is actually running the week you order.
It ships to our shop. We do the transfer, mount and zero your optic if you want it, and hand it across the counter. Colorado paperwork handled in-house.
A 2011 is a fitted gun and it rewards decent magazines. We stock Check-Mate 2011 steel magazines in 9mm, 10mm and .45 — 10, 15, 16, 17, 19 and 26 round — plus Hogue Wrapter grips, Safariland and Blackhawk holsters, and C&H optic plates cut for Staccato slides.
Range 9mm is the cheap way to put rounds through it. Bring the gun by and we'll tell you honestly what it likes.
You can buy a Staccato from a website that has never touched one. Here's what you get instead.
Dry-fire it on the counter. Feel the reset and the grip width before you spend the money. That alone changes most people's pick.
We mount, torque to spec and zero your red dot in-house. No shipping it out, no guessing at plate stack-ups. Gunsmithing →
Background check and paperwork done here, by people who keep up with Colorado's rules so you don't have to read statutes on a Saturday.
Bring what you're not shooting anymore. We buy and take trades, and it comes straight off the price of the new one. Details →
Something feels off six months in, you walk back through the same door and talk to the same people. That's the whole point of a local shop.
If a manufacturer promotion is running, we'll tell you — even when it isn't on this page. Active rebates →
Depends entirely on what you do with it. If you shoot a few hundred rounds a year, probably not — buy ammo and training instead. If you're running a timer, carrying daily, or you've plateaued and the trigger is the thing holding you back, the difference is real and measurable. Ask us and we'll tell you which one you are.
It moves. Lead time depends on the model, the package level and what the factory is running that month, and Staccato offers expedited options on some configurations. We quote you the current number when you place the order rather than a number off a web page.
You can handle and dry-fire whatever is in the case. We're not a range, so live fire isn't something we can offer in the shop — but between the counter guns and the local shooting community, most people find a way to get trigger time before committing. Ask us and we'll point you at it.
Staccato pistols are sold and transferred in Colorado every day, and we handle the paperwork here. Colorado's firearm rules have changed over the last couple of years, and some requirements depend on the specific configuration and on you as the buyer — so rather than post a legal opinion on a web page, call us and we'll walk you through exactly what applies to the gun you want. Nothing on this page is legal advice.
The HD line uses Staccato's HOST system, which mounts most popular red dots directly to the slide with a spacer plate instead of an adapter stack. We stock plates cut for Staccato and mount the optic in-house. Bring the dot you already own or pick one here — either way it leaves zeroed.
Yes. We buy used and take trades, and the value comes straight off the new pistol. Bring it in with any boxes, magazines and paperwork you have. Here's how that works →
The fastest way to decide whether a 2011 is your next pistol is fifteen minutes at our counter. No pressure, no upsell — we'll hand it to you and let the trigger do the talking.
