• Stealth Arms Platypus ...
I was on the fence.... you answered damn near every question I had. Thank you brother.
Awesome! Glad to help. I wanted to try to put out a helpful video that was different than most reviews out there. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions.Thank you.
Dammit....dammit.....dammit....i was on the lookout for a CZ Shadow 2 compact....but then saw this via the YT algorithm etc...and now....i want this more than the CZ. The amount of custom work that can be done via their website....wow.
I understand. The trigger and fit will be better on the Platypus.
I'm a huge CZ fan but I can't see buying one in this class when this is available for close to the same price. Especially with all the custom options you can add on the site. Plus Glock mags and that seals the deal.
@@lancegardner8560 You are right. My first "nice" competition gun was the tactical sport orange and I also went to a Shadow 2 orange. CZ's simply eat anything. However, they can't beat this trigger and these guns are proving to be very reliable.
Going to shoot my CZ Shadow 2 compact against the Platypus in a few weeks. I did the platypus alone last weekend and it has made my list. Trying to determine if I could free up funds by selling the CZ if I don't like it as much in the side by side.
@@raymuccianti9438 I gotcha. I always do the same thing. I want to have a purpose for each gun and don't want to guy back and forth between so many platforms. I do love CZ's but it is the 1911/2011 trigger love that keeps bringing me back to the platform.
I keep hearing great things about this gun. Your video and your comparisons of other guns was great. I think I’ll be ordering one in late February when the new grip texture and bull barrel are released!
Thanks so much. Just my luck that improvements were made after I got one. :) I don't think you will regret it. Take care.
great vid Bro..... keep go going
Thank you!
I am consistently hearing nothing but praise for this thing. General consensus seems to be that it smokes the prodigy out of the water and is on par if not slightly more liked than the staccato and that it feeds/cycles anything. I'm so down, can't to wait to grab one
I don't think you will be disappointed.
Man WHERE did you get the THUMB LEDGE??
I've got plans to get a Platypus, but was all kinds bummed that it wasn't that option, (that I know of), to order from them.
All my other higher end semi auto handguns like my Beretta 92X Performance and my Beretta 92 Elite LTT from Langdon I have put the thumb rest/gas pedal on, or ordered with it like the Sig P226 X5 Legion.
Cool review btw, and cool gun. I just subscribed to your channel!
So where did ya get it, and what's the model#???
Thank you sir. I got it from Shooting sports innovations. They actually have a picture of my gun on their site. You will order one for the 2011. They will tell you which one to get for the Plat and what kind of modifying you will need to do to get it to work. You actually have to grind off the tab on the back of it to get the magazines to seat. Hope this helps. Thanks for subscribing!
Great review. I have a prodigy 5”. Once broken in it has been on rails. Going to pick this up in a 4.25”. I love how custom it can be.
Thank you sir. I had a prodigy as well. Very flat shooting gun. After they worked out the kinks, The prodigy is a lot of gun for the money. My buddy sent his off to DSC and they made it a whole new animal.
Good stuff brother. Subscribed and going to by a platypus this week
Nice! I don't think you will be disappointed. Thanks for subscribing. I will be doing a lot more 1 on 1 comparison vids with the Platypus.
I’ve held the Platypus and notice that slide felt like it was on linear bearings and the frame fit my hand like no other. I’m kicking around getting a new bull barrel Platypus, a Dan Wesson DWX or the Walther PDP steel frame. Choices 🤔
Between those 3, I would get the Platypus for several reasons. The DWX doesn't have the optic cut yet and it will fit in a weird category for any competition shooting. The PDP just isn't going to have that 1911 trigger. So many things you can do with a 1911 style firearm. JMO.
@@bluepstu9009 I’ve been leaning heavily toward the Platypus. I’ve never held a gun that fit my hand as well as that and haven’t heard anybody say anything negative about them except a local shop claiming their customer wasn’t happy about his cerakote. He claimed that the customer’s gun was orange peelish and he was gonna redo it himself. I think I’ll order mine as soon as the configurator is updated with the bull barrel and frame. Thanks.
@@Myke15401 Yes sir. I felt the same about the grip. I have several of the steel frame 2011 type guns and love them but the grip has always seemed a little big. With the platypus, I can really wrap my hands around it. Good luck to you.
Mine came with the competition trigger which was 1.5 lbs. And has dropped to 1.24 lbs. after 500 rounds. It's super tight and very accurate. I agree that it can feel a little snappy.
Nice. I don't know if you have seen my modification video but I mention how I put in a thumb rest and dropped to a 10lb recoil spring and that helped.
Thanks for the spring tip. I've never been a fan of the thumb rests. I do however use a cheap flashlight with a lead sinker instead of a battery. It helps.
comparing a 1700 dollar plat to a masterpiece arms is criminal lol. good video though my guy
Ha. Both great guns that are above their price point. I do admire both.However, I have had some minor issues with both of my MPA's. No issues with the Plat yet. :)
@@bluepstu9009 thats good to hear an. mine just got the slide finished. got probably another 20 weeks
Just got mine. It’s great! Loving it. It’s a bit snappy, not much. Thinking of putting a comp on it. It is accurate. I have to put more rounds through it. It’s not as flat as my staccato C2
Did you get a commander size or government? It shot much flatter/softer when I put a thumbrest on it and dropped the recoil spring down to a 10lb spring.
What are your thoughts on the bushing barrel vs the bull barrel? They have both as options now.
To be honest, I am fine with either but it is not much more to get the bull. I am more interested in the new grips. That is making me want to get another. :)
Nice. I have mine on order and shoot competition as well. I currently have a staccato P with a cheely e2 grip that has a pinned grip safety that i shoot LO in. Is there any way to pin the grip safety in the Playtepus.
Thanks! I heard that it has been done. I think it is a little harder then normal because of the material but I may be wrong. There is a facebook group called the Platypus Lounge. A lot of people chime in there. Check it out!
Have you tried any of the 2011s from Bul Armory? I'm on the fence between the Platypus and the Tac Pro.
I have. I owned the SAS Ultralight II. Trigger was probably a little better/lighter than the Platypus but I got rid of it. (I had too many issues with it.) Personally, I would go with the Platypus because of the magazines, fitment, and reliability.
Thanks for your honesty in the video - earned a sub.
I wonder if you have compared this to the BUL SAS ii TAC?
Thank you! I have not compared those two. I did have the BUL SAS Ultra light II. The fit and finish is better on the Platypus. The grip texture would be about the same. However, the width of the grip was bulkier on the BUL. I really like how easy it is to get my hand around the Platypus. It is nice having a double stack 1911 that is easy to wrap your fingers around. The trigger would be a toss up. The BUL I had came with a very light trigger. Some would have thought it was too light to carry. Hope this helps some. I think the gun you mentioned just seems to be an updated larger version of the BUL. I had. The one you mentioned seems to have "grippier" texture and heavier trigger than the one I had.
@@bluepstu9009 thank you for taking the time to reply- I truly think I’m leaning toward a home defense/range toy/possible CCW setup.
I’m heavily leaning into 4.25 Platypus:full dust cover, trident slide, bull barrel, medium weight flat trigger
In the future I might upgrade my carry to the BUL SAS ii UL COMP but maybe by then stealth will have comps, ports and a 3.25 barrel 😂
Love the video. Between the platypus and the vudoo priest, which one would you pick? Thank you
Thank you! Hard decision as the price point is so different. You can almost get 2 of the Platypus. I am fortunate enough to already have a couple of the higher tier 2011 firearms so this was a no brainer for me. I just wanted a 2011 style gun that is not going to have some of the finicky problems that you see with the higher end 2011's. We all know that many of the problems with 2011 guns are the magazines but you are not going to have those same issues with the Plat. No matter what, you are not going to make a bad choice.
Thank you so much !!
My thoughts on the gun are very similar and looking for a gas pedal as well. Is that the Nitro Fin from Ben Stoeger's shop? Which version/measurements fit the Platy? Looks clean on your build.
I am actually going to make another vid with a few of the mods have done. It is the Nitro fin.The Nitro Fin is actually made by Shooting Sports Innovations. They are pretty local to me. Go ahead and order it direct from them. There will be a little fitting that you have to do. I will explain how and what to do in my next video.
Does your MPA DS have any wiggle in the slide to frame fit?
No sir
looks cool as F*(k
Do u plan on getting the new 2024 staccato C? Im deciding which to go with when they are available. 2024 Staccato C or new/improved Platypus. I rented a platypus and actually enjoyed it more than a staccato P I once rented. May have been the slightly smaller grip.
No sir. I pretty much look at two purposes when purchasing. Carry or competing. Since I have the Platypus, I really would not have need for the C. Really bought the Plat to do some indoor competitions and I wanted a trigger as close to the outdoor competition guns I use. Can't remember if I mentioned it in the video but I actually sold the C2, as I thought the Plat was better. No knock on the C2 as I really liked/trusted it.
What color did you choose for the frame? U have the color code from the website?
It is one of the preset colors you can choose. It is Titanium.
This comme t may be too late, but Stealth suggested I order color swatches from Cerakote. Which I did. 10 swatches free , just pay shipping. Which for me was $11. I gave me a more realistic expectation of color combos.
When you remove the slide stop, is the slide to frame fitment still just at tight?
Definitely. Still has good fitment.
Awesome! I went to a local shop that had a prodigy that was extremely well fit. I took the slide stop out and it was super loose. The barrel lug was locked with the slide stop. No bueno. Good to know the Platypus doesn’t have that issue
What color combo is the indoor comp platypus?
It is Titanium and Armor Black.
I'm on the fence between MPA ds9 and the platypus. Is the MPA worth the price difference? Will be my first/only 2011.
Hard to answer that as it depends on what you are using it for. If you are only going to have one 2011 and you are going to compete, I would go with the MPA as it will have many interchangeable parts whereas the Platypus have parts you would not be able to change. (Grip etc.)
How does MPA stack up against the Atlases you have tried? I have a DS9 currently but am always looking for other guns to compete with
I have owned a couple of the Atlas guns and there is not enough difference to justify the cost difference. The frame to slide fit as well as the triggers are so close between the two. The only thing that I like a good bit better on the Atlas is the V2 version of their grips. I think their grips are hands down the best in the world.
@bluepstu9009 awesome thanks for the info! I've played with most of the high end 2011s and I agree with the differences not being huge. I'll just keep rolling my MPA and maybe get another!
@@jacrispy9603They are great for the money. However, I have just ordered a Watch tower Apache. Can't wait to try it. Seems like many guns are going to compensators, so I wanted to try it.
@@bluepstu9009 comped guns are absolutely awesome! I'll keep an eye out for your Apache video whenever you get it.
thinking about getting one for my duty weapon. any suggestions on a duty holster?
Check out my other video on Platypus modifications and holsters. I list a couple but you need to see which one is for you. Good luck!
Is that the 507c holosun? Did you have to use a mounting plate to install it?
It is the 507C. No mounting plate needed. I picked the RMR cut during my design process.
Thanks for the reply
@@Nerosreign Yes sir. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions.
What gas pedal is that?
Nitro fin by shooting sports innovations.
Does this have a true 1911 grip angle or is it a Glock grip angle?
A 1911 grip angle is about 18 degrees whereas Stealth Arms says the grip angle of the Platypus is 17.5 degrees. A Glock is 22 degrees so the Platypus is def closer to a true 1911.
Is that the government model? How do you carry it?
This is a commander. I could actually carry appendix (when I don't have the nitro fin thumbrest in) or side carry.
Do you think the comp trigger is a good idea for carry or too light?
To be honest with you, I am fine with it. I have owned a good number of competition guns with lighter triggers so it doesn't seem too light to carry.
@@bluepstu9009 ok thanks! Would you recommend the 5 or 4.25 barrel? I have the 5" prodigy but it is a bit big and heavy for carry.
@@JCarruth130I had the 5 in prodigy as well. Really depends on your main purpose. The 5 inch version of this would be lighter than the Prodigy but is still pretty big. I originally bought this to compete in idpa matches and carry. It serves both of these purposes well and is very accurate. Don't know if you have seen my video of me shooting steel from 50 yards with no problem. The 4.25 will def conceal better.
@@bluepstu9009 i will check it out! Guess im mostly worried about having enough rail f9r certain lights and accuracy. I have a Walther PPQ in 40 S&W and it is shorter with no issues so I feel shorter may be okay?
@@JCarruth130I honestly think you will be fine with accessories and I know you will be fine with accuracy. Check out that steel video. You will see that I am not trying to have bullseye accuracy and I was hitting the steel with a pretty quick cadence. It was an 18 inch by 12 inch target.
Do they make thar in a 40cal
Not yet. They are just introducing new calibers now. Stealth arms has said it will be on their website soon.
Is it worth the wait?
Definitely. Great value for the money. Since I didn't go crazy with various colors, my wait was about 10-11 weeks.
What color finish is that.. I like that finish
I believe it is listed as Titanium on their website.
Dwx
I will try to see if I can get my hands on one. I have a couple of vids comparing the Platypus with some CZ's that I will be posting.
