Staccato XL

The Staccato XL is built for one job: winning at the range. It's the longest pistol in Staccato's 2011 lineup, and you feel that the moment you pick it up. A 5.4-inch stainless bull barrel with a black DLC finish extends the sight radius beyond anything else in the catalog, giving you a longer, steadier line between the fiber-optic front sight and the adjustable T.A.S. II rear sight. That extra length isn't just for show. It settles the gun in your hands and makes fast follow-up shots easier to call.

Staccato traces back to STI International, the company that, decades ago, took John Browning's single-stack 1911 and turned it into a double-stack race gun. When STI rebranded as Staccato in 2020, the core design stayed the same: a steel 2011 frame, billet-machined construction, and a trigger built to break clean every time. This XL carries a crisp 2.5-pound single-action pull, a skeletonized hammer for fast lock time, and ambidextrous thumb safeties, so it runs the same whether you shoot right- or left-handed.

The slide wears Staccato's signature front cocking serrations and a fluted cluster near the muzzle, both functional and good-looking on the range. It ships optics-ready, with the Dawson Precision Tactical Optic System cover plate and co-witness sights already installed, so a Trijicon RMR or Leupold Delta Point Pro drops right on without a trip to the gunsmith. The Gen 2 TAC Texture grip panels carry Staccato's star logo and bite into your hand hard enough to matter when the buzzer goes off.

Two 17-round magazines come standard, and a flared, beveled magwell makes reloads forgiving even when your hands aren't. At 38 ounces unloaded, the XL carries just enough heft to tame recoil without wearing you out over a long stage. Hundreds of USPSA, 3-Gun, and Tactical Games runs back up the reputation here. Whether you're chasing a Grand Master card or just want the smoothest shooting 9mm on the line, this is the gun serious shooters reach for.
