FLORENCE, Texas –– Staccato 2011®, creator of the 2011® pistol platform and a leading developer of precision firearms, ammunition and shooting facilities, today announced an important expansion of its Lifetime Warranty on handguns. Effective immediately, the warranty follows every Staccato firearm for its lifetime, regardless of where it was purchased or how many owners it has had.
"Lifetime should mean lifetime," said Buck Pierson, CEO of Staccato. "The warranty should follow the firearm, not stop when ownership changes. Our customers invest in Staccato because they expect lasting support and performance. We intend to stand behind every Staccato we have built, support every owner who relies on it and earn that trust for life."
The free lifetime warranty is included with every Staccato-built pistol at no cost and covers eligible defects and failures, including:
- Issues affecting function or accuracy
- Cracked frames, slides or barrels
- Broken thumb/grip safeties, slide stops, ejectors, extractors or grips
- Coating delamination caused by a factory preparation or application issue
- Factory blending required to correct contact hot spots
Normal wear items are not covered under warranty. These include springs, magazine followers and coating wear caused by holster contact or hard use. Damage or malfunctions caused by aftermarket parts are also excluded.
Customers who have already registered their gun with Staccato do not need to update their warranty online; the updated warranty terms take effect immediately for existing handgun registrations. Customers who purchase a pre-owned Staccato are eligible for the lifetime warranty at no cost and must re-register the firearm under their name at www.staccato2011.com/warranty.
This lifetime warranty applies only to Staccato-branded firearms. Legacy STI firearms are not included. To review full warranty terms, activate coverage or submit a claim, visit www.staccato2011.com/warranty.
