Compact semi-automatic pistols that pair real accuracy with optics-ready capability are in demand for duty, competition, and defensive carry. The emphasis on co-witnessing and ergonomics has pushed manufacturers to refine slide serrations, sight integration, and magazine capacity without sacrificing shootability.

STACCATO C2 DPO X-SERIES is built to deliver higher capacity in a compact, lightweight package while remaining durable and easy to shoot well.

Design and key features

The STACCATO C2 DPO X-SERIES employs a double-stack magazine to provide more capacity when you need it — a decisive advantage for duty use and competitive stages. Staccato emphasizes durability and reliability, and this model continues that lineage with aggressive X-series serrations for positive manipulation under stress and lightweight construction that doesn’t compromise control.

At a price of $2749.99, the C2 DPO targets shooters who need a compact platform that won’t give up performance. As a member of the Semi Auto category and the Staccato family, it benefits from a proven 2011-style ergonomics baseline and performance-driven manufacturing standards.

Optics and co-witnessing

The C2 DPO ships with a front sight designed to co-witness with popular full-sized red dot optics when paired with the appropriate Staccato 2011® optic mounting plate (sold separately). That front sight orientation allows users to achieve a lower 1/3 or absolute co-witness with industry-leading micro red dots including Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, Holosun 508/509, Trijicon RMR, Sig Sauer Romeo One, and others. Optics and mounting plates are sold separately, so choose your dot and plate combination to match your preferred sight picture and retention method.
