The Staccato HD Family

Staccato is proud to introduce the most innovative, technologically advanced version of the 2011 platform ever brought to market: The Staccato HD. 

This line of pistols is the result of direct feedback from our most elite law enforcement and government customers, including Federal tactical teams operating at the national and international level. These customers are required to carry their sidearms in some of the toughest environments and under the harshest conditions a pistol will see. The HD line is our most thoroughly and aggressively tested set of pistols to date, going far beyond industry standards to meet the stringent requirements of America’s elite armed professionals.

HD Innovation 

The HD line is built around a suite of performance upgrades and technological enhancements on both the inside and outside for even better handling and the utmost endurance while still retaining the signature Staccato experience only found in the world’s best shooting handguns. 

All Staccato HD pistols will feed from ubiquitous Glock-pattern magazines, which are inexpensive and easily sourced almost anywhere in the commercial market. For law enforcement and government customers currently issuing these magazines, their existing inventory and supply chain systems will be able to support the Staccato HD line. The P-series of HD pistols will accept any full-size Glock-pattern magazine, but will ship with 18-round, heat-treated carbon steel magazines finished in a black low-friction coating.

The grip module has been re-contoured around this magazine to provide a slimmer, more comfortable ergonomic experience including a higher beavertail and larger trigger guard. HD grips will not include a grip safety. The steel frame includes thumb index ledges machined into both sides, and our front slide serrations have been redesigned to wrap over the edges of the slide with a slightly more aggressive profile to aid in weapons manipulations while wearing gloves or under adverse conditions.  

All fire controls on the HD line will be fully ambidextrous. The thumb safety and slide release levers are both dual-sided, and the magazine catch is reversible, for a fully mirrored manual-of-arms regardless of which hand you shoot with. 

All Staccato HD pistols will feature a thoroughly updated HOST system for direct-mounting red dot optics. Model-specific optic spacers will be available for different models but, unlike traditional plate-based systems, the HOST will connect your optic directly to the slide allowing the use of longer, stronger screws. Additionally, your optic will sit lower on the slide for easier dot acquisition and smaller backup iron sights. The HOST also puts the rear iron sight in front of the optic. Seating the optic further back not only minimizes the likelihood of ejected brass contacting the sight, but better accommodates newer red dot sights with “forward set” windows like the Trijicon RMR HD or SRO.  

The HD recoil system uses a single captured, buffered flat wire spring for better service life and simplicity of operation. The HD operating system also includes an active firing pin block safety.
