Join Iain Harrison for an in-depth look at the all-new Staccato HD family, featuring the HD P4 and HD P4.5 pistols live from SHOT Show 2025. Staccato’s latest 2011-style handguns have undergone a complete overhaul for improved ergonomics, enhanced recoil control, and a brand-new optics mounting system. In this exclusive interview, Staccato’s team breaks down every detail, from the active firing pin block to the Glock®-pattern magazine compatibility, showcasing how the HD line merges the best qualities of Staccato pistols into a streamlined, user-focused design.
Glock®-Pattern Magazine Compatibility – A completely new approach that redesigns the 2011 around a proven, widely available magazine system.
Innovative Recoil Management – A sight block on the P4V model and a flat-wire recoil system with a built-in buffer for softer shooting and quicker follow-up shots.
Enhanced Ergonomics & Controls – Fully ambidextrous slide release, swappable magazine catch, no grip safety, and a reshaped frame that raises the firing hand for better control.
Streamlined Optics Mounting – A direct-mount system with a spacer plate for multiple footprints, placing the optic closer to the shooter for added protection and easier lens cleaning.
Active Firing Pin Block (Series 80+) – EDM’d and polished components for a crisp trigger (4–4.5 lb.) without sacrificing drop safety.
Extreme Durability – Tested for over 100,000 rounds in independent trials with zero mechanical failures, making it one of the most reliable 2011 pistols on the market.
