Lifetime warranty

Limited lifetime warranty for eligible Staccato-branded firearms. Updated terms effective August 21, 2026.

Lifetime warranty

Staccato warrants that Staccato-built firearms are originally manufactured free of defects in material, workmanship, and mechanical function.

Subject to the terms, exclusions, warranty voids, and limitations, Staccato 2011, LLC provides this limited lifetime warranty for each eligible Staccato-branded firearm for the lifetime of the firearm. Covered conditions include issues involving materials, workmanship, mechanical function, accuracy, or factory preparation or application.

Effective August 21, 2026, this limited lifetime warranty follows each eligible Staccato-branded firearm for its lifetime, regardless of where it was purchased or how many owners it has had. Coverage is not limited to the original purchaser.

For a covered condition, Staccato may, at its sole option, repair, adjust, or replace the affected firearm or component using the same or comparable Staccato factory component, or replace the firearm, subject to inspection, verification, applicable exclusions, and Staccato’s final coverage determination.

  • Issues affecting function or accuracy.
  • Cracked frames, slides, or barrels.
  • Broken thumb safeties, grip safeties, slide stops, ejectors, extractors, or grips.
  • Coating delamination, other than normal coating wear caused by holster contact or hard use.
  • Factory blending reasonably required to correct contact hot spots associated with original factory fit or finish.

Coverage does not extend to normal wear, misuse, abuse, unauthorized repair or alteration, damage caused or contributed to by aftermarket parts, improper ammunition, or non-approved remanufactured, reloaded, or handloaded ammunition, inadequate maintenance, or any other excluded condition.

Normal wear items are not covered, including springs, magazine followers, and normal coating wear caused by holster contact or hard use. Staccato may offer repair of a non-covered condition for a fee. A paid repair does not create, reinstate, or extend warranty coverage.

Eligible firearms

This limited lifetime warranty applies only to eligible firearms sold under the Staccato brand. The single-stack Staccato C and the original 4.15-inch Staccato P are included because those firearms were released as Staccato models.

Legacy STI-branded firearms are not covered by this limited lifetime warranty. Staccato will make reasonable efforts to inspect and service them at a fair rate when parts, service capability, firearm condition, and safety considerations permit. STI service is paid service and does not create warranty coverage.

Registration and transfer

Pistols purchased directly from Staccato after January 1, 2024 continue to be activated automatically upon shipment. Other owners may activate or register an eligible firearm through Staccato’s warranty registration process.

Customers who have already registered an eligible firearm do not need to update their registration solely because of the August 21, 2026 transfer expansion.

A customer who acquires a pre-owned eligible Staccato must re-register the firearm in the customer’s name at https://staccato2011.com/activate-warranty before a warranty claim can be processed. Registration documents the current owner for claim administration only. It does not waive any exclusion, inspection requirement, or coverage determination.

Law-enforcement duty-sidearm priority

As a customer-service priority, Staccato will use reasonable efforts to prioritize warranty claims involving a law-enforcement officer who carries the affected Staccato as an issued or authorized duty sidearm, including same-day intake when operationally possible. This priority is a service objective only. It is not a guarantee of same-day repair, completion, shipment, or return, and it does not expand coverage.

Ammunition clarification

This limited warranty is void if the firearm has been used for firing remanufactured, reloaded, or handloaded ammunition, or ammunition that does not meet applicable SAAMI, CIP, or NATO standards.

Use of Staccato Ammunition remanufactured ammunition sold by Staccato Ammunition, Staccato 2011, or an authorized Staccato sales channel, and expressly intended for the applicable firearm and caliber, will not by itself void this limited warranty solely because the ammunition is remanufactured. This exception does not create a warranty on ammunition or expand the firearm warranty.

Staccato may deny or limit a claim to the extent inspection and testing show that the claimed damage, malfunction, excessive-pressure event, unsafe condition, or other failure was caused or contributed to by ammunition or another excluded condition. Open guns manufactured specifically for major power factor ammunition are treated separately, but damage from overcharged, double-charged, or otherwise unsafe ammunition may affect coverage.
