STACCATO HD C4X: CADRE NEWS

Cory Ross

Staccato has truly revolutionized the 2011 world (and I can say that because Staccato owns the trademark for “2011”). Whether it’s their legacy models like the P and XC, or last year’s standouts in the HD P4.0, HD P4.5, and HD C3.6—they are changing the game.

Building on the success of the HD line, Staccato is introducing the HD C4X—a pistol resulting from a multi-year collaboration to meet the needs of an elite tactical surveillance unit.

SPECS

The C4X is an improved version of the HD line, offering enhanced shootability to elevate human performance. It’s a versatile pistol suitable for apprehending third-strike criminals or for everyday carry and personal protection.

 The standard specs are as follows:

  • Model(s): C4X
  • Caliber: 9x19mm
  • Capacity: 15+1

FEATURES

The Staccato HD C4X is a purpose-built evolution of the 2011 platform, carrying forward Staccato’s heritage while incorporating meaningful, well-earned upgrades.

Its core features a complete ergonomics redesign to better connect with the shooter, along with a new optics mounting system that integrates modern sighting solutions into the HD ecosystem. An improved recoil system works seamlessly with an active firing pin block, enhancing both shootability and durability without sacrificing safety. Like the previous HD models, the C4X accepts Glock-style magazines and deletes the grip safety.

What truly sets the HD C4X apart is its built-in compensator, engineered to significantly reduce muzzle flip while maintaining the ruggedness and reliability expected of the HD platform. Developed in collaboration with an elite metropolitan tactical surveillance unit, the C4X combines duty-grade capabilities with concealed-carry practicality, offering enhanced shootability that boosts human performance. It’s not just a compensated HD; it’s a refined tool built for performance, protection, and real-world reliability.

ZOOMING OUT

The Staccato HD C4X represents the latest evolution in the HD lineup. Adding a compensated model meets the needs of today’s shooters. Priced at over $3,500, this pistol is built for active use—whether on duty or concealed—catering to all scenarios. Staccato plans to release the HD C4X by 2/16.
