About This Firearm
The Staccato P is a full-size duty 2011: a single-action 9mm with a 4.4-inch bull barrel and 17-round flush magazines. Staccato says it is approved for duty by over 2,000 US law enforcement agencies. It answers the question of whether a 2011 is worth choosing over a polymer striker gun for duty and home defense.
The P uses Staccato's tool-less Dawson Precision recoil system and a government-length slide stroke, which Staccato says makes it cycle like a 5-inch gun while staying shorter. The Springfield Armory Prodigy weighs the same 33.0 oz, lists at $1,530, and ships with an extended magazine and an optic plate. The SIG Sauer P211-GTO ships with 21- and 23-round P320-compatible magazines, but weighs 12.9 oz more. The Staccato C2 trims 8 oz for carry, with one round less.
Buy the Staccato P if your agency approves 2011s, or you want a duty-grade one for home defense, and you will put in the training a single-action gun asks for. Skip it if you want a 2011 to try the platform; start with the Prodigy, and the C2 carries better.

Strengths & Limitations
- Field stripping needs no tools, pins or clips, because of the Dawson Precision recoil system.
- Staccato designed the slimmer Tac Texture grip module for control and handling with wet hands.
- Lifetime warranty and US manufacture.
- The Prodigy matches its capacity and weight, so what the P adds is refinement and its recoil system rather than new capability.
- A single-action trigger with a short, light pull asks for more training discipline than a striker gun if you are new to the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Staccato P approved for police duty?
At many agencies, yes. Staccato names Houston PD, Las Vegas Metro and the Texas Rangers among the departments that approve it. Check your own agency's list before buying.
Why does Staccato recommend standard sights with an optic?
Staccato notes that major law enforcement agencies require co-witness iron sights when they authorize red dots, and this configuration ships with standard sights for that reason.
Are there higher-capacity magazines?
Yes. Staccato offers the P with 20-round extended magazines as an option.
Can I get a DLC barrel or a different trigger weight?
Yes. Staccato's configurator offers the bull barrel in stainless steel or DLC and lists other trigger weights, serrations, optics and weapon lights as options.
How is the P different from the C2?
The P has a steel frame, a longer slide and barrel, and a taller grip. The C2 has an aluminum frame and a shorter barrel and is built for concealed carry.
