Staccato-C Single-Stack 9mm DLC-Finished Compact 1911-Style Pistol with U.S. Flag Engraving
The Staccato-C is a rare single-stack variant from STI’s acclaimed 2018–2019 lineup. Built on the 1911 platform but updated with a match-grade bull barrel, DLC-finished carbon-steel slide, and an aluminum alloy frame with accessory rail, this compact 4-inch pistol delivers carry-size weight with competition-grade performance. A factory-engraved U.S. flag on the frame and a short two-year production window add genuine collectability.

What’s Included
- Staccato-C 9mm pistol
- (5) 8-round stainless steel single-stack magazines
Produced for just two years before STI’s re-branding, the Staccato-C is one of the few single-stack pistols built on the company’s double-stack 2011 architecture. This makes it lighter and slimmer while retaining the crisp single-action trigger and controls enthusiasts expect from a 1911-style gun.
The 4-inch stainless bull barrel features a target crown and runs inside STI’s proprietary Recoil Master guide-rod system, noticeably reducing muzzle rise in a 26-ounce package. The slide combines aggressive front and rear serrations with lightening cuts and a durable DLC finish that resists holster wear.
Controls are classic and intuitive: an ambidextrous thumb safety, grip safety, and a skeletonized combat hammer. The curved three-hole trigger breaks at approximately 4 pounds, offering a clean, repeatable pull ideal for defensive or competition use.
A Dawson Precision fiber-optic front sight pairs with a low-profile, drift-adjustable Stealth Charger rear for a fast, daylight-bright sight picture. The integral accessory rail allows easy mounting of lights or lasers, enhancing versatility for duty or concealed carry roles.
Finally, the right side of the frame carries a factory-engraved U.S. flag, underscoring the pistol’s American origin and giving collectors a distinctive visual touch.
