I\u2019ve competed in a 3-gun match, carried it concealed, and even used it at the Staccato-sponsored Area 4 USPSA Championship. Branded as &#8220;the perfect all-purpose handgun,&#8221; I wanted to see if it could live up to the claim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its summer release, the Staccato C offers both compact and full-size grip options, and features a heavier 4-inch bull barrel to minimize muzzle rise. It also uses the slimmer Staccato CS magazines that debuted last year. Optic-ready and equipped with a rail for weapon lights, this pistol has features that match its versatile reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-staccato-c-specifications-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Staccato C Specifications:\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-out-of-the-box\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Out of the Box<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-frame\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Frame<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-magazines\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Magazines<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-some-comparison\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Some Comparison<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-trigger-on-the-staccato-c\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Trigger On The Staccato C<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-slide\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Slide<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-barrel\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Barrel<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-precision\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Precision<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-reliability\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Reliability<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-staccato-c-performance\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Staccato C Performance<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-summary-of-the-staccato-c\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\" data-level=\"2\">Summary of the Staccato C<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6174-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Staccato C with Vortex red dot and TLR-7X on rock pavement\" class=\"wp-image-207721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6174-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6174-2-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6174-2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6174-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6174-2.jpg 1467w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-staccato-c-specifications-nbsp\">Staccato C Specifications:&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Caliber: 9&#215;19 mm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Capacity: 15+1 (Compact) or 17+1 (Full-size)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Trigger: 4-4.5 lb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barrel: 4.0&#8243; Bull Barrel (Available in Stainless Steel &amp; DLC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weight: 26 oz (Without optic &amp; no magazine)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frame: 7075 Aluminum (Billet Precision Machined)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Recoil System: 4.0&#8243; Tool-less<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dimensions: 7.6&#8243; x 1.45&#8243; x 5.4&#8243; or 5.8&#8243; (Full-size)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grip Width: 1.2&#8243;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Magazine: 2&#215;15 or 2&#215;17<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-out-of-the-box\">Out of the Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Staccato C arrives in a custom soft gun bag with storage for up to five magazines, a front zipper pocket for extra gear, a velcro nameplate with a matching pistol patch, and a cushioned divider for added protection.

Adding weight keeps the pistol shooting flat while offering a rigid platform for mounting weapon-mounted lights or lasers. This rigidity is particularly beneficial for those using IR or VIS lasers, though less critical for standard weapon lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6172-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Concealed carry handgun\" class=\"wp-image-207723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6172-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6172-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6172-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6172-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6172.jpg 1518w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The metal frame of the Staccato C is the perfect host for mounting and maintaining a lasers zero<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A unique feature of the Staccato C is its polymer shell magazine housing. While the upper half of the frame is metal, the grip and trigger guard are polymer, blending the stability of competition guns with the lightweight advantage needed for daily concealed carry. The grip feels excellent in hand, with a slight undercut on the trigger guard allowing for a secure, high grip. The frame\u2019s mild texture strikes an ideal balance for both competition and EDC use\u2014providing a solid, non-slip grip for firing through stages without being too abrasive for appendix carry, preventing any discomfort or wear on clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6186-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Textured grip on self-defense handgun\" class=\"wp-image-207724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6186-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6186-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6186-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6186-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6186.jpg 1488w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mildly aggressive texturing pattern on all sides of the grip<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-magazines\">Magazines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Staccato C is available with either a compact, or full-size grip. The pistol I received to review was the compact model, and it came with two 15-round magazines. For those who choose the full-sized variant, two 17-round mags will be included. This pistol uses the slimmer Staccato CS magazines that debuted last year. Currently, 15, 16, and 17-round mags are available for $70 directly from Staccato&#8217;s website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My only real complaint during testing was dealing with the 16-round magazines I picked up&nbsp;in addition to&nbsp;those that came with the pistol. I always hand load my magazines, but loading the last round into the 16-round mags was nearly impossible. Even when fully loaded, seating the magazine with the slide forward and in battery was rough. To measure this, I placed the handgun on a scale and gradually applied pressure until the fully loaded 16-round mag seated\u2014it took a staggering 127.2 lbs pushing down on top of the gun, which is&nbsp;just&nbsp;absurd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6164-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"handgun on scale\" class=\"wp-image-207725\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6164-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6164-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6164-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6164-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6164-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6164.jpg 1752w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pushing down with 127lbs to seat a fully loaded 16-round CS\/C mag into the Staccato C<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-some-comparison\">Some Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious about the difference, I compared the 15- and 16-round mags, only to find they were identical\u2014except for the location of the last drilled hole and the number engraved on the back of the magazine. So, I treated them all as 15-round mags, and&nbsp;then&nbsp;everything worked flawlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6160-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Magazines for self-defense pistol\" class=\"wp-image-207726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6160-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6160-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6160-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6160-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6160-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6160.jpg 1712w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Comparing Staccato&#8217;s 16-round mag to its 15-round mag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During matches, I often dropped the magazines in the dirt while moving through stages. Out of about 40 drops, only once did I notice the rounds becoming loose due to dirt buildup. I unloaded, removed the baseplate, cleaned the inside, and the magazine felt great again. I caught this before shooting the next stage, and throughout my testing, the magazines performed flawlessly and never failed to feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-trigger-on-the-staccato-c\">Trigger On The Staccato C<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The trigger is one of the most essential components of any firearm, and the Staccato C\u2019s trigger doesn\u2019t disappoint. It can be ordered with&nbsp;either&nbsp;a curved or flat-faced trigger, but I had the curved one for my testing. Take-up is short and leads to a well-defined wall. There is no creep when pulling through the wall, and a crisp break. What I&nbsp;reallyappreciate is the short reset, bringing your finger right back to the wall and primed for the next shot. My pull weight measurement came in at 3.25 lbs. Staccato offers triggers tuned either between&nbsp;3-3.5lbs&nbsp;or&nbsp;4-4.5lbs&nbsp;from the factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6177-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Staccato C curved trigger\" class=\"wp-image-207727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6177-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6177-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6177-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6177-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6177.jpg 1470w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Staccato C offers either a flat-faced or curved trigger<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slide\">Slide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The slide on the Staccato C features deep and effective forward and rear serrations that make racking and press-checking a breeze.

I picked up the DPP plate and ran a Vortex Defender-ST for the duration of my review without any issues. The only downside I encountered was that the rear sight pressed against the back of the red dot housing, which prevented co-witnessing with irons. This meant relying solely on the dot, but it held zero well throughout testing, and the setup worked smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6169-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Extra gear for Staccato C handgun\" class=\"wp-image-207729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6169-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6169-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6169-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6169-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6169.jpg 1468w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Installing a Dawson Precision optic plate with a DPP footprint <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-barrel\">Barrel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both variants of this pistol come with a 4&#8243; bull barrel&nbsp;either&nbsp;in stainless Stainless Steel or with a DLC coating.

Like an amateur, I kept pulling the first shot in the groups below, but the remaining 4 rounds in each 5-shot group were nice and tight. I\u2019m confident this pistol is accurate enough to produce even better groups and\u00a0that I\u00a0was the limiting factor here. Below are the groups I shot from 10 yards with the Staccato C:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6170-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Staccato C with magazines and boxes of ammo on paper target\" class=\"wp-image-207731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6170-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6170-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6170-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6170-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6170.jpg 1123w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Each box of ammo placed next to its respective group shot from 10 yards<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reliability\">Reliability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout this review, I ran nearly 1,000 rounds through the Staccato C,&nbsp;using mostly Staccato&#8217;s own&nbsp;136gr OTM Match rounds. While these are not yet commercially available, they said these rounds should be available soon. Straight out of the box, I simply loaded up and started shooting\u2014not even adding a drop of oil. The Staccato C paired with their new 136gr OTM rounds and various Hornady ammunition ran flawlessly without a single malfunction. The 136gr OTM rounds also provided a noticeably softer recoil impulse, making it easier to keep my sights on target during rapid strings of fire. Rather than being snappy, the recoil felt longer and smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6173-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"4 boxes of blue self-defense ammo\" class=\"wp-image-207732\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6173-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6173-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6173-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6173-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6173.jpg 1494w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The brand new 136gr OTM Match ammo available from Staccato<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While Staccato supplied a case of their Match ammo for this review, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammunitiontogo.com\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"staccato-c-full-review-conceal-compete-and-conquer\" title=\"Staccato C Full Review: Conceal, Compete, and Conquer!\">AmmunitionToGo.com<\/a> is the official ammo sponsor.

The recoil impulse is especially smooth with heavier&nbsp;rounds,&nbsp;like Staccato\u2019s 136gr OTM match ammo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6192-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Aiming gun through window of old bus\" class=\"wp-image-207739\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6192-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6192-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6192-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6192-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6192-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/IMG_6192.jpg 1633w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Testing out the Staccato C during a 3-gun match and shooting from inside of vehicles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the Staccato C through a 3-gun match was a blast.

Its smooth recoil and responsive trigger made it easy to stay on target, even with rapid movement.
