I agree. That is the Holy Grail Gun.

I love my speed six snub-nosed revolver. 357 magnum is pretty powerful.

Heard the 45 like this runs great

What ended up being the best functioning magazines

Trying to figure out why you just didn't buy a $3,000 gun instead of putting $2,000 into $1,000 a gun

Something told me when I started watching this video it would have an idiot scratch on it

Best 1911 magazines for this issue are Sig been there done that

I’m very titled towards getting a staccato c or a p for my next gun.. so much so that I’ve already talked it over with my wife. But, before any big purchase I try to do research on it for atleast a month or two to find all the good and the bad. With that being said… the price of the platy is obviously better .. but! I really want to know .. is the platypus just as good as the staccato .. or is there a difference? I’m the type of person who will edc it and shoot atleast 10k rounds in a year. But I want an honest opinion from someone who owns both. And also… how good is the warranty on a platypus and how well do they honor that warranty.

i like the soft bag it travels better , i lost my green fiber optic tube before a 1000 rds

I replaced my recoil spring my hammer spring my firing pin spring and I installed a springco Cor bon 45 super recoil damper I like to run 450 SMC but I do like 45 super as well, but 450 SMC has more velocity in foot pounds it's got 4,000 more PSI it's 32,000 PSI where the 45 super 28,000 there is a significant upgrade in the velocity and foot pounds, the 450 small Magnum is a bit more in cost which when you come right down to it the increase in velocity in foot pounds you get with the 450 is not enough he justify the cost

Spent 1300 on an Ed Brown that came in a cardboard box...The bag is a big step up

Get a Tisas 1911 and replace small parts with Wilson parts. It's a better deal.

You Should have went with the bul barrel

Very nice Gun. Good luck with it. I, too am a Colt Fan! Don Blake

Imo, definitely send it back. That way they at least have something in their records should an unforeseeable issue arise in the future. Take care

After 500 rounds no more feeding issue on mine. I noticed the sticking at the tip of the barrel. I think that's what it was. It's butter smooth now. I do have the 45 version and it had the same issue. Glad it got cleared up.

everything on gun broker goes for a lot.

The 92 is a great platform to play around with! I have a good vid on my channel for an easy way to replace the mag release if you ever need help with that! 😁

Great points made and a beautiful revolver. I would like to get a speed six and a service six. My daily carry is a Charter Arms Bulldog 44 special with 200 grain Sig ammo.

The left leaf on the sear spring needs a slight adjustment to bring trigger pull weight up. Since you found the grip screw’s marred is a good indication that guns sear spring was adjusted by previous owner. I have purchased 3 new Le Baers and trigger pull weight was around 4#.

Mine had a lot of failures. Had to send it back. All good now

Should fit a oil filter no problem tho

I think the trigger is light enough out of the box for a self defense hand gun. I do like the idea of being able to change grips.

I have that model. Was surprised to see a Bisley grip option on a 357 blackhawk so I bougjt it that day. Love it and the engraving on the mag cylinder

Beautiful gun, I picked up one of these in 9mm about a month ago. Added some slim grips and the bulletproof Wilson combat extended slide release so far. I’m looking forward to messing around with the trigger and possibly converting it to a 70 series as well. Also love the rams horn grips they really make it pop!

So just to add my two cents from experience, all I shoot are 1911s and 2011s, both competition and carry, they need time to break in. by the way all my 1911/2011s are Springfield. You need to give them time to break in, especially mass produced guns like a Springfield. The manufacturer isn’t doing this for you, that’s one of the reasons why it doesn’t cost $3k+. My emissary had failures to fully go into battery for about the first 500, my prodigy same thing. For the first 500 rounds I always lube them liberally, and clean them often., and after that 500 break in, no failures, NONE. Honestly this is pretty normal I find for a Springfield, because out of the box they are tight, parts need time to wear in together. But after a break in all of my Springfields run smooth as hell, no problems. I shoot around 5k rounds a year in competition.

I have the a 4.25” emissary, the first Gen without the rail. I love it. But man, this all black in 9mm with full length dust cover and rail is badass. Completely badass.

I'm buying a 2nd 1 11:20 👀👑❤️

The K series of Kahr pistols are some of the nicest subcompact pistols ever made. I have a K9 and it is my favorite handgun, incredible quality and the fit/finish is better than 99% of modern production firearms.

Got green model 329. Just wish they would start doing the green and fde model with optics ready model. Though the xl model is same slide and I have the optics cut xl so just swapped slides. But there black finish is terrible just like sig 365

did you cut the grip for your safety or did brouwer do it because on the right side from what i can is there is some gappage if thats the right term to use

The disconnecter is causing that hang up when you rack it. The 1st gen prodigy were doing this.

Yeah bought a new one.. already noticed I will have to rack the slide a few hundred times so that spring breaks in well. The barrel feed is great but requires wear in to get it to finally be smooth. About 500 rounds or so.

hard to beat a beretta 92

When you went from series 80 to 70 did you put in a lightweight firing pin and heavier spring? Bill Wilson has made the comment that barrel lockup and bushing fit is more important than the slide being tight for accuracy. Thank you for the review, I'm getting the itch for another 1911 and I'm leaning to this because I would only need to add the ambi safety due to being wrong handed and possibly sights. the combat commander looks like a sweet spot for features and price for what I want in a 1911 without going to a custom builder.

excellent video, maybe even the best one ive seen about the Platy. I want a all metal "heavy" competition adjacent pistol. I am torn between a Canik Rival-S decked out and keeping more $$, or spending double on one of these guys with a economy red dot like a justice 2. I really think saving for one of these is the right call. Sticker shock is a real thing, though. I feel like im coming at it from the opposite of most of the people looking at these as a "value" gun vs Staccatos, and Buls.

That sucks I have an emissary 9mm and had one error misfeed out of 1000 rounds. No issues other than that keep it properly oiled and cleaned

Just got mine in 4.25 but in .45acp and it runs flawlessly.

Im a holster maker, own both gx4 and the carry model...why is everyone afraid to compare it to the macro....affraid it would win?

The “this is kinda boring” really hit home with me haha. I used to carry a Shadow Systems and after like 5000 rounds of very flat very smooth shots I eventually got bored and had to turn up the heat on it, adding a lot more money into it to turn into a race gun for competition stuff. I bought a platypus for my wife as an anniversary gift and it’s not due to be done until early next year, I’m little excited to see what it can do.

Found one locally for $750 so decided to do some research and found your video. Not sure if it's worse the hassle for $750😂

TX22 is not the same as full size gun. When compared to 9mm full size guns it is noticeably smaller.

If you don't have a 1911 you don't have easy thing

Nice revolver. Ive got the stainless 38 special version of the speed six

I've been toying with buying that m1811. Can you add the tungsten weights to it?

I’ve got one of these on order! How do you like it? One thing to pay attention to is rust underneath the Wilson checker insert, had one on my Delta Elite for a while and I carry it and shoot it a lot. On tear down I had some rust and pitting underneath even though it’s stainless. My remedy was a thin layer of some grease.

I have a California M18 with a magazine disconnect, not sure if it works with the Brouwers M1811

Any feed back from Springfield, or did the Cerakote break in?

I’ll never buy a production 1911 chambered in 9 mm because this is what you always get. Don’t believe me, KZbin has thousands of videos dedicated to 9 mm 1911s that are full of malfunctions.

Got dumber listening to this guy.
