Editor’s Note: The Staccato C is a 9mm pistol that, while pricey, is worth every penny. Its upgraded features, like an optics-ready slide, 4-inch bull barrel, crisp trigger, and sleek ergonomics, make it a worthy contender for defensive, competition, and even concealed carry purposes. It is accurate and reliable, proving itself on the range during our testing. The only real drawbacks are the price tag and a mag release that might be tough to reach for smaller-handedd shooters.
