Staccato HD

The Staccato HD line is an entirely new family of pistols, designed with feedback from elite professional end-users. A complete ergonomics overhaul still based on the 2011 series, the HD uses a new optics mounting system, improved recoil system and active firing pin block to provide a combination of durability and shootability only available in the world’s best shooting handgun. In a big departure, all Staccato HD pistols will feed from ubiquitous Glock-pattern magazines, which are inexpensive and easily sourced in the commercial market.

Two models will be available, the 4-inch barreled P4 (shipping at the end of January) and the 4.5-inch P4.5 (shipping in Spring 2025) with the latter increasing barrel length while adding non-reciprocating mass at the muzzle to enhance accuracy and shootability. Utilizing the shorter slide of the P4 maintains a fast cycle speed for increased reliability and a quick, consistent recoil impulse with less muzzle rise.

• Barrel length: 4” (HD P4)
• Overall length: 7.6” (HD P4)
• Weight: 34 oz. (HD P4)
• Caliber: 9mm
• Capacity: 18+1
• SKU: 37002
• MSRP: $2,499

Stoeger STR-9 Thinline

The STR-9 Thinline gets its name from its slender, 1-inch-wide slide and frame assembly, which is the same dimension as Stoeger’s STR-9MC micro-compact 9mm. The difference is in the extended grip length. With ample room available for all three gripping fingers plus enhanced stippling patches, the STR-9 Thinline offers a solid hand wrap and full support for improved accuracy, faster follow-up shots and positive retention.

But don’t let the lean profile fool you. The STR-9 Thinlin Stoeger STR-9 Thinlinee makes no compromises. This striker-fired 9mm offers 14- and 16-round capacity with its three included magazines. The front and rear tritium sights ensure a clean sight picture and rapid sight alignment across a full range of lighting conditions. Should you desire a pistol-mounted optic, the STR-9 Thinline stands ready to receive with an optic cut that is direct-mount-compatible with sights featuring the RMSc Shield footprint.

• Overall length: 6.79”
• Weight: 22.39 oz.
• Caliber: 9mm
• Capacity: 16+1
