Good video and topic but too meandering in your discussions. I'd either edit the video down or focus your discussions on the topic at the moment. Don't script it, but keep it short and to the point. Also, humor can be really tough if it's forced. This humor kind of felt like that and thus didn't feel natural. I liked the video regardless so I hope you keep evolving!

I've avoided the double stack 1911 niche until just recently. A family member has a gun buying disease, in that he buys guns, never shoots them, and then I buy them at a muuuuuch reduced price. 😂 I just picked up his 4.25 Prodigy with Dawson Tool-less guide rod. It was unfired, and I grabbed it for nine bills. It's going to be a project gun that I'm going full send on.

Where would you send out for optic cut?

Any idea what clamp screw the Pb3 uses?

How's the size comparison between the DWX Compact and something like the Staccato C2 or New C? Medium hands and pondering grip size. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video showing all the little details. Does the little safety arm on the trigger go completely flush with the face of the trigger when cycling?

The reflex expansion chamber in the rear fits on the warthog. just like it does on the raptor... So why in the hell isn't Anybody pursuing buying these reflex rear chambers for their warthogs

Without a doubt if I was in the market for a 2011 pistol it would be the Platypus. You go on their web sight and can customize the gun in all kinds of colors and options. The fact that it takes Glock mags which are abundant and super cheap. I am pretty sure you could even use a Glock 18 mag at 33 rounds. I have friends that own Stacatto and they have great outstanding customer service. But I think the Platypus just makes sense.

spring field 1911 operator is an amazing gun.

☝️ *promo sm*

😂😂😂

The Pladypus is also about 10 grams less than the C2 which makes it a bit snappier. I think the plural is Pladypussies...just sayin!!🤣

Thank you for your video, gentlemen! I am looking for a concealed-carry/home defense pistol. I really liked the full-sized DWX. I have large hands, so a grip that fits is important. I want to equip the firearm with a green-dot and flashlight. I started out looking at the Sig Sauer P226 MK25. However, I cannot equip the MK25 as I would like. If I heard you correctly, the DWX's may not accommodate the green-dot and flashlight. If so, what are your thoughts on the Springfield DS Prodigy, Beretta M9A1, or Stacatto CS DPO? Thanks, JP

The way the big guy acted when manipulating the staccato safety was unbelievably retarded. He had to shift his whole body to put his thumb under the safety. Its just dumb

Platypus for the win. Easy choice. It is by far the superior option based on price, magazine, reliability, and MAGAZINE. No brainer.

I want one lol

How much hold over at 200 yds?

My favorite ones reload automatically

Paying 2K for DWX does not make sense to me . Especially with it NOT having Optics Cut . I could buy CZ S2 Optics Ready 1.2k , CGW SAO Conversion 270 , Extended Left Side Safety 75 , Lok Veloce Palm Swell Grips 120 , CGW RMR Footprint Optics Plate 50 , CGW 11# Recoil Spring 10 , Magwell 80 , and HOLOSUN 507-Comp 350 . That's slighly over 2k and that's gonna be 1 bad ass setup . Not saying the DWX ain't awesome . I just cant justify when I can build a better pistol for the same amount of money and they are from the same family . Hell CS TS2 Orange is also about 2k as well . They aren't optics ready but you can get dovetail OPTICS mount that's pretty legit and reliable.

@txarms Do you guys have a release date?

I got a Prodigy 4.25 and i love mine.

Who’s the manufacturer?

Love my Full Size. I don’t like the Compact.

Yeah im digging that straight pull back bolt action

Love mine, can't wait to get my slide back w/SRO

Australian compliant AR (literally)

I love my full size

Could it be used for hunting small animals?

I mean I could have built you one way cheaper and easier than whatever you are paying for that shit too. Lol.

I also don’t own a Glock but have Glock mags, ha. Big selling point for the Platypus for those of us in ban states who have grandfathered mags.

Does the platypus have polymer mag release button? I'm concerned that if it's metal that it will chew up the Glock polymer mags. That's why when you get the shield arms mags for the Glock 43x you have to change the mag release

Very fitting the prodigy jammed first shot. lol mine does not fuckin work. Selling it soon

havent even added one to cart but i got like 4 different platypus designs saved. all guns should be this cool to spec out.

My Prodigy was 1520 out the door with an optic, it had some ftf's in the first 100 rounds and has ran smooth ever since. I can't wait for my Platypus, mine came out @1685.

This is truly the most silliest thing I've ever seen in my short life like wth

Like the action and concept but not the reasoning behind it 😂😂! Atf needs to be changed to alcohol and tobacco and that is it! Constitution clearly states shall not be infringed!

Hows the platy holding up

Why are gun owners always obese? This is a bad look for us

Ordered the Platypus 2 days ago...now it's the wait that's bothering me.

I found a slightly used 4.25 prodigy for 1100$ , replaced all mim parts, brazos ignition kit, new trigger, new injector, holoson red dot, aluminum magwell, and send it off and got the slide and barrel v8 ported, this thing feels like a 22 when you shoot it and it’s been 100% reliable. Absolutely love it, after ALL that I’m still less than 2k for a 2011 style pistol that shoot flatter than the 4000$ staccato XC

Who wants to spend 2500 on a gun and then spend 1000 on magazines? The platypus using Glock mags is huge.

Slamming the slide forward empty like you did can also introduce trigger issues in 1911/2011s

Worst pistol review I’ve seen yet🤦🏻

I agree, with reservations on the last comment. If your going to use the Springfield as a war gun where long distance use is your goal, change some of the MIM inners. Good points thanks.

Staccato magazines are not relaible, i sold mine.

Let's flag the camera guy constantly

As a fellow Big bone Texan I know what you meant by the sweaty hands. Its hot down here

I have all 3 of these, and 40 years experience shooting 1911’s You both are obviously anti Prodigy and it showed your negative bias. All 3 are decent guns,. If you gave me a 2500 buck budget , I would buy the Prodigy and take the 1200 buck left over and do a bit of work , it would then put the base P to shame. Or buy a spec’s out platy and take the extra 500 and get a nice optic … The P is over priced for what it does. So it would be my last choice before you jump on me and my opinion. Watch back your video and tell me you did not have a negative preconceived bias against the Prodigy . If the failures was only 1 mag and 1 type of ammo, to be fair, it could have been a damaged mag, bad ammo or a dirty or dry gun,

Unfortunately, for the Prodigy, when you buy a Glock, you’re only spending about $500-$600 for the firearm. After you add your “improvements” you may spend another $500 or $600, and end up with a grand total no more than $1200. Versus the Prodigy that starts out at $1450 and STILL needs additional upgrades to make it worth having. The Platypus is a much better deal for the money.

how do you like the cz trail?
