Staccato HD P4 vs P4 California Roster

[howi152]

Good afternoon all,

I noticed that there is an HD P4 recently added to CA roster on 6/18. Anyone know if differences between the HD P4 and the P4?

Side question… is the P4.5 going to get added?

We recently had a Staccato "Ask Me Anything" with an actual Stacatto rep. You may want to read that thread... Staccato

Only thing I can think is the first batch had magpul polymer mags and the new batch has mec gar steel ones.
I remember a similar double roster thing happened with Franklin back in the day.

Any indoor ranges near San Diego have any for rent?

I'd love to compare the smaller model against my Springfield EMP.

Wow, you’re right. Does anyone know how to get ahold of that Staccato rep to ask what the difference is, if it’s anything besides just the model name?

That makes sense.

Another theory I have is that it got added under incorrect name "p4". They added the correct "HD P4". If that's the case then we will probably see the "P4" get dropped after 30 or so days, once all the ones in the DROS system are cleared.

My purchaser just got off the phone with Staccato and they confirmed.
P4 is the polymer mag ones.
HD P4 is the metal mec gar versions.

Same gun.

Yeah, but at least the 10-round metal mags are now available on the Mec-Gar website: https://mec-gar.com/shop/magazines/glock/glock-17-9mm-10-round/

I got some last week from the Staccato website. They are definitely worth the upgrade from the Magpul mags.

Same gun.

Talk about a controlling money grab. I wonder how much extra $$$ that cost Staccato to the state of California.


On second thought, does that mean P4 has a polymer mag release and HD P4 has a metal mag release? If that's the case then I'd understand it a bit more.

Riflegear just had a batch. I missed it

Damn I just got one with the pmags. I wonder if the new model will have a price increase or existing owners would get a coupon or something for the mecgar mags.

Shouldn't have needed to be tested again (except, this is CA, so maybe) so likely $200.

I spoke to a rep from Staccato today about this. He said they had to make some refinements to the gun. More importantly they are working on making the HD P4.5 California compliant. As soon as that's announced I'm getting one.

We need them to into the CS…. Please!!!

Where can one rent one around here?

I’m down to my last 2 HD P4’s.

Jimi, if you’re close to the Madera area, I have one you can shoot.

I was set to order a P4 but with the 4.5 hopefully coming in a few months it definitely looks like it will be worth the wait. If it follows the pricing conventions of the rest of the model
line it ought to be $200 more.
