FLORENCE, Texas – (January 19, 2026) – Staccato 2011®, 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. This all-new compact carry model
furthers Staccato’s mission to deliver duty-proven, precision-built pistols trusted by professionals
and responsibly armed citizens alike.
The Staccato HD C4X joins the brand’s lineup as one of the most shootable, precise, and
versatile pistols, delivering the unrivaled performance and features of the Staccato HD line in a
compact platform. Featuring a 4-inch barrel, 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.
Like all models in the Staccato HD family, which represents the most advanced evolutions of the
2011 pistol platform, the Staccato HD C4X offers exceptional 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 www.staccato2011.com
beginning February 16th.
“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.”
The brand also introduced the Staccato Training Group (STG), an elite training program with a
mission to elevate shooting and tactical proficiency for professionals and tactical enthusiasts
through comprehensive live and online education. STG brings together some of the mostexperienced, respected, and decorated shooting and tactical instructors in the United States to
provide real-world, performance-driven instruction rooted in proven experience.
STG will be led by Staccato’s newly appointed Vice President of Training and Competition, ****Max
Michel**,** one of the world’s top pistol shooters for nearly three decades. Joining Michel in
creating and leading STG’s program will be a distinguished team of world-renowned instructors,
