Also known as: Staccato 2011 CS, Staccato CS Compact
Overview
The Staccato CS is the smallest and most concealable member of the Staccato 2011 family, introduced in 2023 as a dedicated 9mm concealed-carry pistol. It pairs a 3.5-inch bull barrel and 7075 billet aluminum frame with a steel 4140 slide and ships with three patent-pending 16-round magazines, delivering 16+1 capacity in a sub-compact 22.7-ounce package. A redesigned recoil system and external extractor allow the CS to maintain the soft-shooting, flat-tracking character of the larger Staccato P in a much smaller envelope.

Background
The CS shipped with three 16-round magazines at launch - one more than its biggest 9mm competitors carry total - letting concealed carriers pocket 49 rounds of 9mm in the same footprint as a single-stack 1911 Officer.
