The Staccato C DPO (Dawson Precision Optics) is a compact 2011-style pistol designed for concealed carry and defensive use. Built on Staccato's aluminum frame system, this single-stack 9mm handgun features a 3.9-inch bull barrel with match-grade accuracy. The DPO variant comes with a slide pre-cut for direct mounting of red dot optics, specifically compatible with the Leupold DeltaPoint Pro, Trijicon RMR, and similar footprint optics. The pistol's enhanced grip texture and ergonomics provide excellent control despite its compact size. The C DPO features Staccato's reliability-enhanced extractor design, a lightened slide for faster cycling, and their proprietary recoil system. The pistol comes standard with Dawson Precision fiber optic front sight and black rear sight, which can co-witness with mounted optics. Magazine capacity is 8+1 rounds in its flush-fitting magazine. Overall dimensions include a length of 7.5 inches, height of 4.9 inches, and width of 1.3 inches. The unloaded weight is approximately 25.4 ounces. The pistol features a crisp 4.5-pound trigger pull and includes Staccato's DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
