Stealth Arms Platypus, Staccato P, Springfield Armory Prodigy DS1911

[@rawright1972]

Awesome content as always. Whats fascinating is that the Platypus can now be ordered with a competition trigger rated at 2.5 lbs and threaded barrel for 1700 bucks. Thats insane considering it takes glock mags.

[@russiancommy]

yep!! lead times have jumped like crazy though, it was 4 weeks and now I believe its 14. they will also be offering a RMR cut later down the road too i believe.

[@qjames0077]

But does it take Glock mags? Oh, wait...

Just built my Platypus and ordered it. The simple fact of the customization all the way down to the color of the pins is insane. And less than $2k. Super excited. However I shot my buddies Prodigy and loved it. Don’t think you’ll go wrong with any of them. Great comparison video.

[@brianahrens8591]

This info is greatly appreciated. I got my list down to the Platypus and the Bul Ultralight. I went with the latter option and am not disappointed. A Staccato of some flavor is in my near future as they’re made in Texas.

I was hoping you would include the Bul Armory.

[@grafja]

Such a nice job explaining your opinion from the perspective of different shooters as well as putting relative rankings into context of the larger market. I get to learn about competition shooting and see great shooting footage while not having to hear any political fear mongering. I'm loving the content brother.

[@miketaylorID1]

Ironic 80s wraparound eye-pro? can’t ever tell with you Lol. I know where you can score some parachute pants - to complete the deal!! The Jersey diner menu amount of choices that stealth arms offers is inspired and frightening all at once - may have to be the next purchase Great vid as always!!

[@ICanFeedTheDog]

I think you will like to gen 2 staccato grips that can easily be stippled for that extra grip. I ran the ice comp in open for a while but doesn't make that much of a difference to me. With Limited Optics introduced, these guns are perfect for that. Running Double alpha safteys and Atlas takedown pin gas pedal (unfortunately makes it only useable with the double alpha race holster). I ordered the Atlas Titan and plan to carry the staccato P once that comes in, but looks like I will be shooting the staccato in Area 4. Interested to see how the 5" slide/barrel fares against the staccato 4.4" slide 5" threaded barrel

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

DAA safeties will break. Ask me how i know.

[@joshuasterling2144]

I just had a thought. What if somebody worked in the P365 mag tech into one of these guns. I love the slim-ness of the 1911. Using that mag profile would get you most of the traditional footprint and the 2011 goodness of a modern 1911 patterned gun.

[@TheGennessy]

Dude.. you’re onto something !!

[@johnbrewer8882]

But a p356 mischief machine frame.

[@50beowulf]

Nice overview. I actually prefer a two piece GI stlye guid rod on a non bull barreled 1911 style pistol for ease of disassembly. It does nothing to detract from reliability. I think if Platypus tweaks a few minor things, they can own this market.

[@Ftallabas]

Okay, I wanted to get the P for a while now, but after getting to see how beautiful the Platypus looks, now I think my mind has been changed.

[@DJ369-Miami]

The Staccato is a truly accurate pistol w/iron sights offhand out to 70 yards in my case.

[@Avg_Vet]

I replaced my trigger (atlas) and guide rod (Dawson precision toolless) in my prodigy. Both were amazing upgrades (won’t say game changing because everybody says it). Debating if I’m going to pull the trigger on a Cheely grip and infinity internals. I will eventually get it ported either thru monsoon or dcs. I was going to get the platypus as well but wanted a officer style instead which they don’t offer. And now their lead times are 14-16 weeks. I’ll end up getting a staccato cs or a bul armory sas ultra ii. Just need to make a decision and then wait for either to be available 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@robertreynolds2726]

Just ordered a staccato p the first of May, now the wait. I paid a little extra for a lighter trigger for mine.

[@AnthonyGarcia-qr7px]

How much is a little extra and how can I order it with that option?

[@robertreynolds2726]

@Anthony Garcia I paid an extra 100. When I built my gun online through their website I called them the next day and asked if I could lighten the trigger. I specified that I was not using it as a carry weapon which is accurate. The lighten trigger, I'm told, I'd 3 to 3.5 vs 4 to 4.5.

[@slyfoot0605]

Thank you sir for you time and great review. Where is the Bul tac 4.25 at

[@justinmoore4088]

If I were looking for a gun of this type I'd consider the Stacatto P the starting point. The Prodigy will need a few more years under it's belt before I'd consider it.

[@blaiseeltine9516]

interested in the P (steel) or C2 (wish they made it in steel frame) but also thinking Platypus Commander.. would like to hard chrome it or DLC rather than the coating. here's where having grip panels or different grip options would be nice. as designed, w the DLC, likely I'm in used P territory. i picked up a Prodigy at my LGS and it was a rattle trap.

[@OneGuy411]

Thank you for another great video! I'm starting my competition journey (USPSA) and I've been primarily using your videos to learn about the sport! Not only that, I've been refining my marksmanship skills through your videos as well! So, from one Texan to another, I'd like to give you a big THANK YOU! I would like to ask between the Staccato P and the Bul Armory SAS TAC II in 4.25" (I've watched all your videos on them) which one do you feel would be the best competition pistol? I'm hoping to purchase one of these in the next 10 days assuming that the BA will be available. Thank you again and please keep being you!

[@adamhymas4620]

Its entirely irrellevant until you start going to matches. Once you go to matches, you'll figure out what divisions you want to shoot in and it might not be limited optics.

[@trickyt4527]

It would be cool if you could get access to a Beretta 92xi and compare it to one of the 2011 pistols since they both have single action triggers and thumb safeties.

[@jkdubya85]

Before watching the video - I'm currently using a Rival for competition and saving up for a Staccato XC. I could be persuaded to go Platypus (the Glock mags thing is a plus because I've got a couple Glocks). I've been waiting for a follow up video on it from you.

[@will3377]

BDE!!! Thank you for the video and honest reviews... I can only wish here in California. 😢

[@pgg0024]

Something to remember about the staccato P. The trigger was designed for patrol / duty use. That's why it is 4.5 lbs. Their XC and XL models have much lighter triggers. Those would never be allowed to be carried at an agency.

[@TheHumbleMarksman]

I understand that and I'm not pointing at the weight - but the quality of the trigger. The only "good" 1911 trigger in the lot is on the Platypus from a cleanliness standpoint.

[@sikwatikenshin1060]

I think the Platypus use EGW ignition kit. Thats why the trigger quality is good. Staccato has soft trigger. Doesnt mean its good. I install the EGW ignition kit on the Prodigy. That made it feel better than my P and XC. I will be doing the same on both my Staccato.

[@sociopathmercenary]

I've been looking for a Bul Armory 1911 Government in 45ACP and they seem to be unobtanium right now. I may have to upgrade the one of their more expensive models at this rate.

[@bossie006]

Strange, there are alot of Bul 1911s in my area. I picked up a used 45acp Magnum research 1911 last month and they had multiple other used one and new ones as-well. FYI magnum research and Bul armory 1911 are more or less the same.

Fun fact about wine: the only thing you can really assess through the cork is whether it's been properly stored, and your sense of touch can give you all the info you need. The cork should give slightly when given a firm press, and shouldn't be dry. People who sniff the cork don't actually know what the hell they're doing.

Didn’t even occur to me. I’m Just being a fudd and making fun of the boomers and the like that think that buying their way into Limited Optics will alleviate their terrible performance in Carry Optics by emulating the exact same division, but with magwells and single action triggers.
