Staccato has just updated its HD line of 2011 pistols with the compact, integrally-compensated C4X.
With the goal of making an extremely versatile 2011 that was equally parts a compact defensive pistol and duty weapon, Staccato has just added the HD C4X to its lineup. Co-developed with an elite law enforcement tactical surveillance unit, the pistol feels just as good on the hip as it does in the hand putting shots down range. I had the chance to shoot one at Staccato’s Vegas range day this year, and to put it simply, this thing shoots flat.
The Staccato HD C4X features a 4-inch integrally-compensated barrel, a lightweight aluminum frame, an HD HOST optics-ready slide and a compact grip that provides a flush-fit capacity of 15 rounds of 9mm. Even better, it uses Glock-pattern magazines, and each gun ships with two steel 15-rounders. Other features of the C4X include its crisp 4- to 4.5-pound trigger, its 3.6-inch captive flat wire recoil system, fully ambidextrous controls, improved ergonomics and tall iron sights that sit forward of the red dot mount.
Paul Smith, Vice President of Product at Staccato, said this about the new 2011:
The Staccato HD line continues to evolve based on real-world use and direct feedback from professionals and customers … 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 C4X is a sweet little package; the only downside is that it has an MSRP of $3,500. It will start shipping to dealers on February 16th.
