Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes an STI Staccato P 2011 from a traditional 1911?

The primary difference is the 2011 platform's double-stack magazine, which allows for significantly higher ammunition capacity compared to the single-stack magazines of a traditional 1911. The Staccato P also features a polymer grip frame combined with a steel slide.

What are the key features of the STI Staccato P's slide and trigger?

The STI Staccato P is noted for having an exceptionally easy-to-rack slide, making it user-friendly. Its trigger is described as having minimal take-up and a very light, crisp break that is difficult to predict, contributing to accurate shooting.

Why is co-witnessing important for the presenter when using a red dot sight?

Co-witnessing allows the shooter to use the iron sights in conjunction with the red dot. This is crucial for reliability, as the iron sights provide a backup aiming method if the red dot fails or its battery dies, ensuring the firearm remains functional for self-defense or duty.

How is a rear iron sight added to the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro on the Staccato P?

An aftermarket rear iron sight attachment can be installed by loosening the set screws on the back of the DeltaPoint Pro, removing the original plate, inserting the iron sight into the slot, and then retightening the set screws. This provides a co-witnessing capability.
