I should’ve installed it one side at a time to keep this from happening. Made the mistake of taking both sides out and now my lower isn’t flush for me to install the new angled grip bushings. Could someone please give me a step by step on how to put it all together? Thank you and God bless.
Fixed: I just let the hammer down and the tension was gone. Thank you everyone I hope you all have a blessed week ahead.
I intentionally bought the C4X simply to put on my P4 frame.
After ~500 rounds running the stock C4X configuration before making the swap (wanted a piece of mind of somewhat breaking in the gun)
C4X alone is a great gun. Money aside.
But the C4X on the the P4 steel frame, then throw a little light on the rail and **chefs kiss**
It is exactly what you expect and a little more. This fucker is nice to shoot. I’ve shot atlas’s, all the major 2011 competitors sub $3k, almost every staccato besides an XL (don’t care for it), this my friends is one hell of a gun.
Very soft, return to 0 is shorter and faster than stock. It’s noticeable even for someone new to shooting guns. (Buddy was with me)
It’s faster than a P4.5 because the slide reciprocates a lot faster. Probably just as pleasant of a shooting experience.
To sum it up, your average shooter might notice the difference from going from an aluminum to a steel frame on the C4X. But the ones who actually go out and shoot a lot, this will be a night and day difference. If you are a good competent shooter, this is the configuration you need.
P4 slide on C4X aluminum frame. It’s actually not exactly what you’d expect. I wouldn’t say it’s snappy like a stock P4 but it reciprocates in a wavy motion. It’s obviously less snappy and softer than the C3.6. But it’s a different experience from all of the rest of the HD line.
I personally think it shoots better than the 24 C on a full or compact sized grip. This is a good carry option.
If you have a P4 and you’re contemplating on getting a C4X. Do it then swap the slides. Worth every penny. It will justify even buying your P4 because I know you guys second guess either buying a 4.5 or bought the 4.5 and shelved the P4.
TLDR: C4X slide on steel P4 frame full size grip. Worth every penny. Justifies the P4, justifies the C4X. You get two completely different guns out of the two. A nice carry gun, and a wicked fast 4 inch 2011.
Sold my HD P4.5 and C3.6 to consolidate into one "do-it-all" Staccato.
Started with one… somehow it turned into three. No regrets. 😅 XC for Open, XL (.40) for Standard, and the C2 for carry. Which one would you grab first?
Not gonna bash Staccato until I actually see it for myself but if they really do charge $5,500 for the new P4X then I’m done with the brand. $3,500 for the C4X was already a joke. $1K increase for literally no reason. If they charge $5,500 then the only reason would be literally that they see other ridiculous brands doing it too.
Ready to pick up my 2011 Staccato HD C4X in two days for my CCW (LASD). I've got the plate, Trijicon RMR HD, and 2000 rounds of Ammo to break it in. To you all gents who run with Staccatos, what are the DOs and DON'Ts for you?
So far for my knowledge below.
1, don't drop the slide with empty mag.
2, don't slam a mag in when slide are locked back open. (Kind of confused here, doesn't the mag came with Staccato have a stopper plate?)
3, Do clean and oil often, they run wet. (I use shooter's lube combo)
So, as what i heard from some, new Staccato before breaking in would stovepipe, jam or some kind of malfunction due to the tight tolerance, what was your experience breaking in when you 1st got it new?
Thanks for your input.

Just a quick question. Are there any issues with the hd p4.5, first 2011 and staccato in general. I just purchased a display p4.5, never shot just fondled a lot. I have the serial number p45-00467. Just curious if the earlier iterations of the p4.5 have any issues. Just brief research I heard the p4 had some issues with hot spots and the safety. Thank you
Curious to see what the price is first.
New HD pistol to be released on July 4th. Rumor is it will be the P4X
Will Staccato have a 4th of July sale this year where they actually discount their pistols?
Anyone know if this is planned to be offered in the HD lineup? Or at this point should I look more towards a P? I don’t have any “real” 2011’s and higher prefer the ability to use Glock mags with the HD series
Thanks!
Long story but the HD was stripped completely for a few days and the reverse plug for the recoil spring assembly went missing.
Called Staccato customer service. The rep was not very knowledgeable or helpful. He didn’t even know what a reverse plug was. After I explained it he seemed to get it. After being on hold for a bit he came back and said it’s a non catalogued part so he can’t sell it to me.
He said I would have to do a warranty claim online. I asked if I could speak to someone in warranty to buy what I needed. He said no.
It’s not a warranty item and I’m just looking to purchase what I need quickly
I then asked if assembly available online ($59.99) comes with the reverse plug. I said picture seems to show it but description doesn’t mention it. He had no idea and was not willing to investigate further.
Very poor customer service experience overall. Anyone know if the reverse plug comes with the recoil spring assembly?
I ordered the recoil spring assembly (no option to expedite shipping) and I’ll see what I get but curious if anyone knows.
VMW ports + 3.5 lb trigger job with Red Dirt shoe, Inception Designs gas pedal, and DPM RSA. Heat gun fixed the Xiphos Elite right up.
Staccato XC with Cheely Custom Gunworks aluminum grip module and an Infinity Firearms adjustable trigger.
Trigger is right at about 2lbs, if not a hair under. Shoots extremely soft and flat.
