The Platypus IS better than a Staccato P, but Stealth Arms' customer service is also outstanding. After a year of ownership, I broke mine down and took it to my local gunsmith to have night sights installed, got home, went to reassemble, and couldn't find my barrel bushing anywhere. I still can't imagine how it happened, as I put all of the components in a Ziploc, but after 2 hours of searching, hope had run out. I called up Stealth Arms and they told me that they would not only replace the barrel bushing AND ship it to me free of charge, but they would also polish it before sending it out so that it matched my original build. Fantastic people over there!

Yeah, I’m a new Platypus owner and I gotta say, it’s amazing. I don’t “own” a staccato but I’ve had one in my possession for the past 4 months and have shot it extensively….. I think they shot equally flat but the cost will always sway me towards Stealth Arms

[@TallTimbersUSA]

@@Citizen2ACitizenLLC Cost aside, my reasoning for preferring the Platypus was four fold: 1. Thinner grip was more comfortable 2. Trigger was superior 3. The customizability is simply ridiculous 4. Glock mags

Ordered mine early spring. It came in a few weeks ago ahead of schedule; and since then I have roughed it up. I have put 640 rounds through it without cleaning it out of the box. No malfunctions with 40 different types of ammo, Russian steel, all brass types ranging from new JHP to 20 year old tarnished Luger rounds. It runs smoothly even when we unload the magazine fast. It’s extremely precise. We were hitting 1x1 squares at 100 & 150 yards with no issues. (Optic for sight & SureFire light for weight/stability help at that range. ) I would be glad to discuss other things/questions people have before purchasing. I had unanswered questions even after it came in, that I had to answer myself.

IMO the main problem with malfunctions with 1911 is the old steel follower magazines. Switched to Wilson combat 10’s and I have no ammo related malfunctions my 1911’s will eat anything. Springfield Operator and Dan Wesson classic. I only see an issue after hundreds of rounds when it runs dry. Glock mags are renowned for being bulletproof and this is a great combo

[@PineFire]

@@nuclearkamikaze Great combo indeed. I have added several +3 and +5 mag extensions to my kit. One of which is the Odin Works brand. 22 rounds on my favorite platform with the 3 pound renowned 1911 trigger, is like a birthday present that never gets old.
