GEORGETOWN, Texas, Oct. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Staccato 2011, LLC announced today a company milestone: over 250 law enforcement agencies across the country have approved Staccato 2011® pistols for duty use. Law enforcement is embracing Staccato not only for the company’s high-performing pistols, but also for its ongoing support that includes training. Major departments approving Staccato include LA County Sheriffs, Riverside County Sheriffs, and the Long Beach Police Department.
“We forged our first law enforcement relationships under two years ago. In this short amount of time, the positive response for Staccato has been humbling; we are proud to serve thousands of officers who carry our pistols both on and off-duty,” said Marine Corps veteran Nate Horvath, CEO, Staccato.
“Departments are approving Staccato 2011® pistols for their superior performance in qualification tests that include pistol reliability, accuracy, and ergonomics/efficiency,” said Buck Pierson (USMC GySgt ret.), Staccato’s Director of Law Enforcement and Military Business. “Departments are also choosing Staccato for our partnership mentality and ongoing support. We provide free 2011® transition courses for law enforcement, a 2011® armorers course, and other specialized on-site department instruction. Instruction is led by senior Staccato team members like Mike Pannone [former US Marine Reconnaissance, Army Special Forces (Green Beret), 1st SFOD-D (Delta) and the Asymmetric Warfare Group)], Matt Little (former Army Special Forces and Chicago PD SWAT), and Master Gunsmiths,” said Pierson.
Patrick Dougherty, Sgt. Long Beach Police Department, was a part of LBPD’s year-long evaluation of Staccato. Beyond pistol qualification, Dougherty explains that LBPD’s partnership with Staccato is valued deeply, especially in today’s climate. “LBPD appreciates everything Staccato has done for us, and the stance the company has taken alongside law enforcement when very few will publicly do that. Courage is the rarest of traits, and we thank Staccato for supporting us.”
Staccato provides law enforcement, military, and first responders a discount on pistols and magazines. As a veteran-led, Texas-based company that only uses American materials and parts, Staccato is proud to serve those who protect our freedoms daily.
Did you know that? Law enforcement serves to protect your freedoms. Who knew?
And notice that the company gives a “discount” to law enforcement, but they won’t give one to you. You’re not special like law enforcement is.
We’ve discussed this boutique firearms market before. The gun is a 1911 design rebuilt for 9mm with a bull barrel and double stack magazine and flared mag well.
By the way, this model sells for $4299 (optics not included). It’s nice to know your tax dollars are hard at work buying the best for the best.
You’re not the best – otherwise you could have one of these. This is for when a Glock, or S&W M&P, or Springfield XDm, or FNX just isn’t good enough.

Police must be defunded, disarmed, and disbanded.
Government doesn’t even hide the Us vs Them anymore.

I would hope that the agencies are just approving the pistols and not purchasing them for issue. It would make no sense to purchase firearms this expensive for police.

$4299 Thats cheap compared to the $5,000-$8,000 hand held “walk ie talkies” they issue. Of course Motorola is also “upgrading” the system, I think next year, so all your local, state, and federal govts. will be spending millions of your tax dollars to make sure the finest have the finest.

$4300? Does it shoot around corners?
Must be sweet to spend OPM.

Staccato pistols are the pistols of choice for most competitive pistol shooters. Awesome gun. If you don’t know it basically a 2011 in 9mil. A double stack 1911. Very accurate, very fast, very dependable, very expensive.
My thoughts are LE should learn to shoot what they have first. Or just plain learn how to shoot. A more expensive weapon with a bad ass trigger will do you no good if you don’t even know what a trigger reset feels like or if you can’t find the wall on your 6 pound Glock Trigger. What a joke.

@ Jimmy the Saint,
It seems that this weapon deserves the moniker of “poodle shooter” instead of the M-16 family of firearms!

Just check the men’s room in strip joints. Sooner or later a cop will leave his $4299 pistol in there.

Eff me! That the law enforcement version of $5,000 toilet seats for the Space Shuttle and $500 multi-directional impact tool (hammers) that were popular back in the 80’s.
