Design and Build

The STACCATO C’s steel frame provides a rigid foundation for consistent shot-to-shot performance and excellent durability under heavy carry or duty rotations. The short, stout slide and compact dimensions make it well suited for concealment, while the 1911-style ergonomics—flat mainspring housing, beavertail, and an aggressive grip profile—deliver positive purchase and trigger control.

Trigger and Control

A crisp trigger is one of the STACCATO C’s defining attributes. Reduced pre-travel and a clean break help with precise shot placement, especially in defensive drills where every fraction of an inch matters. Combined with the frame’s recoil-mitigating geometry, shooters report reliable recovery for fast, accurate follow-ups.

Caliber and Capacity

Available in 9mm optic-ready configurations with a 17-round magazine, the STACCATO C leverages the benefits of modern 9mm defensive ammunition: manageable recoil, high-capacity feeding, and proven terminal performance when paired with quality self-defense loads. The compact 3.9-inch barrel balances concealability with ballistic efficiency for daily carry or duty use.

Field Use and Applications

This pistol is purpose-built for operators who require a compact duty piece or a high-performance concealed-carry option. The steel frame and refined recoil system make it suitable for extended training, while the optic-ready top allows users to mount red dots for faster target acquisition. Price is positioned at $2783.99, reflecting the premium machining and material choices used in manufacture. View product details and pricing
