The modern duty handgun must balance capacity, controllability, and service‑grade durability. For operators and concealed‑carry professionals who prioritize speed and precision, a platform that blends classic 1911 ergonomics with modern double‑stack capacity stands out.

STACCATO C is a 2011‑pattern semi‑auto built to answer that need. Adopted by over 325 law enforcement agencies and elite units including the Texas Rangers and U.S. Marshalls, the series pairs a 1911-style action with a double‑stack magazine for duty-level capacity. This C model features a 4-inch barrel, an all‑black finish on a full‑size frame, a curved trigger, and a DLC barrel finish. The slide is optic‑ready with a removable rear sight for Dawson Precision adapter plates and X‑series slide serrations. Two 17‑round magazines are included. Shop this product

Design and key features

The STACCATO C’s 4‑inch barrel and full‑size frame make it versatile for both concealment and duty roles. The curved trigger is tuned for a consistent break, aiding follow‑up shot speed without sacrificing safety. The DLC (Diamond‑Like Carbon) barrel finish increases wear resistance and reduces friction for long service life under heavy use.

Slide and optics readiness

Optic compatibility is engineered into the slide with a removable rear sight to accept Dawson Precision adapter plates. That makes MOS‑style red dot installation straightforward for shooters who run electronic sights. Aggressive X‑series serrations provide positive manipulations in adverse conditions.

Capacity and magazines

Two 17‑round magazines ship with the pistol, delivering a law‑enforcement level of capacity while maintaining a 1911‑style grip angle for natural point of aim. At a price of $2949.99, the STACCATO C targets professionals and serious enthusiasts seeking piston‑level performance.

Performance and carry considerations

Range testing and duty use emphasize the C model’s balance: the 4‑inch barrel preserves ballistic performance for common defensive calibers while remaining compact enough for concealment with the right holster and belt setup. The full‑size frame helps control recoil for rapid, accurate follow‑ups—essential for tactical scenarios.
