Staccato, the creator of the 2011 pistol platform, announced at SHOT Show the launch of a new addition to its high-performance Staccato HD lineup, and flagship model: Staccato HD C4X, a compact design dedicated to carry use.

The Staccato HD C4X joins the brand’s lineup as one of the most shootable, precise, and versatile pistols, delivering the performance and feature set of the Staccato HD line in a compact platform. Featuring a 4-inch barrel topped by a single-port compensator at the muzzle, the Staccato HD C4X was co-developed with an elite law-enforcement special-surveillance team to ensure it is duty-ready, while incorporating customer-driven design elements that make it well-suited for personal carry and everyday protection.

“The Staccato HD line continues to evolve based on real-world use and direct feedback from professionals and customers,” said Paul Smith, vice president of product at Staccato. “With the Staccato HD C4X, we set out to create a compact and extremely versatile pistol that can confidently be carried on duty, for personal protection or both. This platform reflects our commitment to giving customers a high-performance option they can trust in any situation.”

Like all models in the Staccato HD family, the Staccato HD C4X offers adaptability to match its performance. Key features include ambidextrous controls, a 15-round capacity, Glock-pattern magazine compatibility, and Staccato’s HD HOST optic-mounting system. The Staccato HD C4X will be available in three configurations, with an MSRP starting at $3,499, and will be offered through authorized Staccato dealers and on staccato2011.com starting on February 16th.
