The CS is a compact 2011 platform, built around a stainless steel 3.5 in bull barrel with a flush muzzle for consistent lockup and recoil control. The single‑action, recoil‑operated system is paired with a flat‑face trigger for a crisp break and predictable reset.
The V3 configuration features an external extractor and a toolless captive recoil system for streamlined maintenance. Its slide is 4140 steel with front and rear cocking serrations, three oval lightening ports per side near the muzzle, and a lowered/flared ejection port. A factory optics cut is present with the cover plate installed; rear‑sight configuration depends on the optic/plate used.
A 7075‑T6 aluminum frame keeps weight down while retaining durability. The textured polymer grip module with the Staccato star logo provides a secure hold, and controls include an ambidextrous thumb safety and a grip safety. A short, single‑slot accessory rail on the dust cover keeps the profile compact.
Sighting is fast and straightforward with a green fiber‑optic front blade; rear‑sight configuration depends on the optics/plate used. Despite its compact size—about 7.1 in overall length, 5.6 in height, and 1.2 in grip width—the CS maintains a maximum capacity of 15+1 and weighs approximately 22.7 oz empty. It uses CS‑specific double‑stack magazines, with two 15‑round and two 10‑round mags included.
Manufactured in Florence, Texas, USA, this CS V3 brings Staccato’s 2011 performance to a compact, carry‑oriented format while retaining the features and build materials that define the platform.
