About This Firearm
The Staccato C2 is a compact 2011: a single-action pistol on a billet 7075 aluminum frame, built for concealed carry by someone who wants a 1911-style trigger and 16 rounds in a flush magazine. It weighs 25.0 oz without an optic or magazine and lists at $2,299. The decision it answers is whether a premium 2011 is worth carrying over a striker gun.
What you pay for is the single-action trigger and a 3.9-inch stainless bull barrel with Staccato's Recoil Master recoil system. The Staccato CS costs more, weighs 2.0 oz less and is 0.4 inch shorter, but holds one round fewer. The Kimber KDS9c is $954 cheaper at nearly the same weight, with a 4.09-inch barrel and 15 rounds. The SIG Sauer P365-AXG Legion carries 17 and is 0.9 inch shorter, but it is a striker gun with no manual safety.
Buy the C2 if you shoot a single-action trigger better than anything else and want more capacity than the CS in a carry-size Staccato. Skip it if you want a smaller carry gun or a striker trigger; the CS is shorter and lighter, and the P365-AXG Legion gives you similar capacity with no manual safety.

Strengths & Limitations
- Staccato's single-action trigger is short and light, which helps precise shots under time pressure.
- The frame is anodized billet aluminum, which saves weight over a steel 2011 of the same size.
- Staccato covers it with a lifetime warranty, and the configurator lets you pick sights, barrel finish and engraving when you order.
- The optic, the plate for it and a holster are all separate purchases, so the real cost runs well above the list price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the C2 have a manual safety?
Staccato's C2 page does not list the safeties, so check the controls on the gun in person or ask Staccato before you buy.
Do I need an optic plate?
Yes. The optic-ready slide takes a plate matched to your dot. Staccato mounts and zeroes the optic for free if you buy the dot and plate from them with the gun.
What is the difference between the C2 and the CS?
The C2 has more capacity and a longer barrel. The CS is Staccato's smaller carry gun, lighter and a little shorter, with one round less.
Can the C2 take a full-size red dot?
Yes. Staccato says the C2 slide can be fitted for both compact and full-size optics, using the plate that matches your dot.
What comes in the box?
Two flush magazines. The optic plate, optic and holster are separate purchases.
