New Guns 2025: Staccato HD Pistols

Touted as the most technologically advanced 2011 pistol design ever, the HD line is creating a lot of buzz for 2025.

SHOT Show--which is the gun industry's first look at new firearms worldwide--is in full swing, and Shooting Illustrated's Jay Grazio is on the scene with Staccato's Michelle Viscusi. The new-for-2025 Staccato HD line of guns is creating a tremendous amount of buzz already, with its module that's built around the Glock pattern magazine, fully ambidextrous controls, and a wide array of internal upgrades, too.

What does Staccato mean by ambidextrous? With dual-sided safety and slide release levers as well as a swappable magazine release, there are also forward thumb index points machined into both sides of the frame. The Staccato's signature forward slide serrations have been re-designed to wrap over the top of the slide with a more aggressive profile, assisting manipulations from the front of the pistol while wearing gloves ... or under adverse conditions.

Internal upgrades include a buffered, flat-wire recoil system and active firing pin block. The updated HOST optic mounting system allows direct-to-slide mounting for the most popular miniature red dot optics. The rear iron sight is mounted directly to the slide, forward of the optic to negate the need for BUIS-equipped plates or adapters.

The first pistol to launch in this family is the Staccato P4. The P4 is built around a footprint that’s become increasingly popular among both armed professionals and citizens alike: a 4" barrel and slide mated to a full-size grip. The P4 grip will accept any full-size Glock-pattern magazine, but will ship with 18-round, heat-treated carbon steel magazines finished in a low-friction coating.

Coming in spring of 2025, the Staccato P4.5, built on the same full-size frame, features a 4.5" DLC barrel with a “sight block” design that increases non-reciprocating weight at the muzzle to help reduce felt recoil while preserving the faster cycle speed of the 4" slide. The Staccato HD P4 will be available for purchase on January 28th, with an MSRP of $2,499, and the HD P4.5 to be released at $2,699; www.staccato2011.com
