Compact pistols have crossed a performance threshold: they’re no longer just for concealment, they’re tools that can deliver duty-level accuracy and durability in a carry-sized package. For shooters who demand both defensive reliability and range-capable precision, the right platform can shorten learning curves and improve confidence under stress.

STACCATO 2021 C2 DPO TB OR

The STACCATO 2021 C2 DPO TB OR bridges compact carry with competition-grade components. Built on the pedigree of the Staccato P, this 9mm platform delivers a balance of controllability and accuracy that’s rare in a carry frame. Shop this product and see how its feature set supports both everyday carry and home defense.

Design and ergonomics

The C2’s G2 Officer polymer grip provides a secure, repeatable hand purchase without the bulk of full-size frames. The 4.5″ bull, threaded barrel tames muzzle flip and extends sight radius — helping shooters place tighter groups at distance. Fiber optic front and Dawson Precision Charger rear sights give a crisp sight picture for rapid target acquisition, while the optic-ready slide accepts a variety of red dots (optic mounting plates sold separately).

Why 9mm matters here

Chambered in 9mm, the C2 balances manageable recoil, magazine capacity, and terminal performance. The three included 16-round magazines preserve high capacity in a compact package, useful for defensive scenarios and extended training sessions at the range.

Performance and practical applications

Staccato designed the C2 for shooters who value precision from a compact platform. Reports of fast, accurate engagement at 25 yards and beyond reflect the combination of the heavy-profile 4.5″ barrel, quality sights, and consistent trigger characteristics. This has made the pistol a favorite among law enforcement and experienced shooters looking for a carry gun that doesn’t compromise on accuracy.

Accessories and setup notes

Because the slide is optic ready, plan for an optic and the correct mounting plates to optimize your setup. The threaded barrel opens options for muzzle devices or suppressors where legal and appropriate. At a listed price of $2667.99, you’re investing in a precision-oriented carry pistol with duty-level parts.

Choosing the right shooter profile

If you prioritize accuracy in a carry-ready package — whether for duty, concealed carry, or precision-focused range work — the STACCATO 2021 C2 DPO TB OR is engineered to deliver.
