The CS V3 combines Staccato's compact 2011 platform with a 3.5 in stainless bull barrel that is fluted to reduce weight while preserving rigidity. The pistol is single-action, hammer-fired, and recoil-operated, delivering the crisp break associated with the platform.
Construction is premium throughout: a billet 7075 aluminum frame is paired with a 4140 steel slide cut with front and rear grasping serrations. The dustcover is smooth and railless, with no accessory rail.
The slide is machined for a Dawson Precision optics-cut/plate system while retaining iron sights: a Dawson Precision green fiber-optic front and a serrated black square-notch rear. This setup supports fast sight acquisition under varied lighting.
Controls and ergonomics include an ambidextrous manual thumb safety, a grip safety, and a lightened trigger. The textured polymer grip module carries the Staccato star medallion and an integral magwell to speed reloads. Capacity is 16+1 with the included 9mm magazine.
Markings and details of interest to buyers and collectors include "STACCATO CS" on the slide, "STACCATO CS V3" on the dustcover, and "FLORENCE, TX USA." A U.S. flag is engraved on the left side of the frame ahead of the trigger guard.
