Frequently Asked Questions

What is the history behind the 2011 pistol platform?

The 2011 platform originated from STI (Strayer Trip International) around 1990, evolving from tuning 1911s into a modular design that integrates high-capacity magazines with a polymer grip and steel frame. The name '2011' became a trademark for this double-stack 1911 configuration.

Why are Staccato 2011 pistols so expensive?

The high cost of Staccato 2011 pistols is primarily due to their manufacturing process. Frames and small parts are CNC milled from solid billet material, a more expensive and wasteful process than using polymer or cast metal. Additionally, all small parts are made from tool steel, requiring precise fitting.

Does the Staccato P make you a better shooter?

The Staccato P can make it easier to shoot well due to its legendary 1911-style trigger, which has a clean break, short take-up, and crisp reset. Its natural pointing index and manageable recoil also contribute to improved accuracy and faster follow-up shots for shooters with advanced skills.

What are the key features of the Staccato P for duty use?

The Staccato P is designed for duty with features like a short rail for accessories, trimmed ambidextrous safeties to prevent interference, a durable DLC coating on the frame and small parts, and a reliable modular grip system. It also comes optics-ready with a robust mounting system.
