Staccato P

The Staccato P is the larger of the two firearms, with it's barrel length coming in at 4.4". The standard frame is made up of certified American billet steel or you can go for something lighter like aluminium.

As for the front sights you can choose lower standard carry front sights or upgrade to a taller front sight to co-witness with a red dot optic. To add an optic, you will have to purchase a complimentary mounting plate. However, they are deisgned to fit a multitude of options, such as the Leupold Delta Poitn Pro, Holosun 508/509, Trijicon RMR, and many more. 

One of the biggest draws to Staccato and their 2011's is the magazine capacity. The double stack stock magazine offers the ability to hold 17 rounds and you get two of them with your purchase. You also recieve a longer magazine that holds up to 20 rounds for even more fire power.

Staccato C2

The Staccato C2 is the more compact version with a barrel length of 3.9" in length.

You are able to fully customize this firearm as you would with the P model. You can change the front sights, add an optic plate, change the barrel, and even add serations to the slide. 

The magazines you get with the Staccato C2 are three 16 round mags. You will never need to worry about running out of ammo while carrying 48 total bullets. The only downside is that the minimum carrying capacity of the C2 is 16 vs the P which is 17. Howevever, one bullet may not matter to you if you can carry a smaller firearm.

How To Choose?
