American-Made Staccato P Delivers During Stress Test
The Staccato P proves its reliability and durability during 11,000-round steel-cased ammunition test
GEORGETOWN, Texas, July 22, 2020 (Newswire.com) - Staccato 2011, LLC, inventors of the 2011® - The World’s Best Shooting Handguns, announced today the release of the “Staccato P Stress Test” video. Built with FlaTec™, the Staccato P is durable, reliable, insanely accurate, and easy to shoot well. The goal of the stress test was to see how the pistol would handle over 10,000 rounds of steel-cased ammunition with only lubrication. The results: the Staccato P exceeded all expectations.
“I wanted to see how an ‘out-of-the-box’ Staccato P would perform under extreme conditions,” said Mike Pannone, Staccato’s Director of Research & Development and Product Development. Teaming up with Shawn Armstrong, Staccato Master Gunsmith, Pannone and Armstrong captured a full set of gun specifications before the test. “We knew we’d want to quantify any changes in pre- and post-test measures like slide-to-frame fit, extractor fit, extractor hook length, muzzle velocity,” said Armstrong.
The video describes the test and the successful post-test results. Adding lubrication every 2,500 rounds, Pannone fired a total of 11,000 rounds through the Staccato P with no failures. Post-test metrics validated Pannone’s experience. “Slide-to-frame wear was virtually nonexistent and all key metrics saw nominal (if any) changes,” explained Armstrong.
“This test reinforces how durable and reliable the Staccato P really is – mission-critical factors for professionals and civilians alike,” concluded Pannone.
Proudly designed, engineered, and produced in Texas with 100% American materials and parts, the Staccato P is available for purchase in the Staccato online store. Visit Staccato2011.com to view the stress test video.
