Staccato is introducing an all-new family of 2011 pistols, the Staccato HD line. These new pistols are the result of feedback from Staccato’s law enforcement and government end users, the Staccato HD incorporates a wide array of new features and technology resulting a 2011 pistol with advanced technology.

The HD’s grip module is built around the Glock-pattern magazine, already widely used by the law enforcement community and readily available to gun owners, including aftermarket magazines such as those from Mapgul and others.

The HD’s controls are fully ambidextrous, with dual-sided safety and slide release levers as well as a swappable magazine release. There are also forward thumb index points machined into both sides of the frame. The signature Staccato forward slide serrations have been re-designed to wrap over the top of the slide with a more aggressive profile, assisting manipulations from the front of the pistol while wearing gloves or under adverse conditions.

Internal upgrades include a buffered, flat-wire recoil system and active firing pin block. The updated HOST optic mounting system allows direct-to-slide mounting for the most popular red-dot optics. The rear iron sight is mounted directly to the slide, forward of the optic to negate the need for BUIS-equipped plates or adapters.

The first pistol to launch in this family is the Staccato P4. The P4 is built around the popular 4-inch barrel and slide footprint that is mated to a full-size grip. The P4 grip will accept any full-size Glock-pattern magazine, but the pistol will ship with 18-round, heat-treated carbon steel magazines finished in a low-friction coating.

The Staccato P4.5 is built on the same full-size frame and features a 4.5-inch DLC barrel with a “sight block” design that increases non-reciprocating weight at the muzzle to help reduce felt recoil while preserving the faster cycle speed of the 4-inch slide. The P4.5 will be released in the spring of 2025.

The Staccato HD P4 will be available for purchase on January 28th, with an MSRP of $2499, and the HD P4.5 to be released at $2699 later this year. Visit staccato2011.com for more information on this pistol or other products from Staccato.
