Over 250 Law Enforcement Agencies Are Approving This Pistol For Duty
Not only is Law Enforcement embracing Staccato for the high-performing pistols, but also for its ongoing training support.

Staccato 2011, LLC announced a company milestone: more than 250 law enforcement agencies across the United States have approved Staccato 2011® pistols for active duty use. Not only is Law Enforcement embracing Staccato for the high-performing pistols, but also for its ongoing training support. The Major departments approving Staccato include the LA County Sheriffs Department, Riverside County Sheriffs Department, and the Long Beach Police Department.

As a veteran-led, Texas-based company that only uses American materials and parts, Staccato is proud to serve those who protect our freedoms daily.
“We forged our first law enforcement relationships under two years ago. In this short amount of time, the positive response for Staccato has been humbling; we are proud to serve thousands of officers who carry our pistols both on and off-duty,” said Marine Corps veteran Nate Horvath, CEO, Staccato.
“Departments are approving Staccato 2011® pistols for their superior performance in qualification tests that include pistol reliability, accuracy, and ergonomics/efficiency,” said Buck Pierson (USMC GySgt ret.), Staccato’s Director of Law Enforcement and Military Business. “Departments are also choosing Staccato for our partnership mentality and ongoing support. We provide free 2011® transition courses for law enforcement, a 2011® armorers course, and other specialized on-site department instruction. Instruction is led by senior Staccato team members like Mike Pannone [former US Marine Reconnaissance, Army Special Forces (Green Beret), 1st SFOD-D (Delta) and the Asymmetric Warfare Group)], Matt Little (former Army Special Forces and Chicago PD SWAT), and Master Gunsmiths,” said Pierson.
Patrick Dougherty, Sgt. Long Beach Police Department, who was a part of LBPD’s year-long evaluation of Staccato, explains that beyond pistol qualification, the LBPD’s partnership with Staccato is valued deeply, especially in today’s climate. “LBPD appreciates everything Staccato has done for us, and the stance the company has taken alongside law enforcement when very few will publicly do that. Courage is the rarest of traits, and we thank Staccato for supporting us.”
