@chuckisbusy yes it is, if you look at it this way. A really good 1911 is around 1200$ retail. It probably cost the manufacturer about half that to make the gun. So how they justify 3x the cost of a base 1911 is beyond me.

It's cool to see Stealth Arms gain wider recognition. Their 80% 1911 kits were great, and gave the end user just the right amount of excess for hand-fitting. I was exceedingly close to putting in for a Platypus, but at the last step I couldn't bring myself to go through with it. Price is right, they've reviewed well, and their design options are awesome, but I just couldn't justify yet another 9mm. But as tired as this phrase is, if they make a good 10mm, I'm in it the minute it shows to be reliable. Considering they've done 10mm 80% kits, it doesn't seem impossible.

Finally solving the 1911 magazine issues. I'm a Glock guy, I know a guy who is pretty knowledgeable on a lot of gun platforms. He brought his 1911s out to shoot at my backyard range and I noticed he had text written on the mag bases. I forgot which 1911 it was but he said yeah its a good gun however it works the most reliably with this brand mag and only this brand. So I was curious and mixed up the mags. He was right and I was glad I got to see it with my own eyes rather than social media indoctrination

I used to shoot IDPA with Desert Eagle 9mm 1911, made by Bul Armory and USPSA I’d shoot Glock 17 or 34 Gen 5, iron sights for both, went blind in my right eye so Glock with red dot for everything now, really want one of these, was hoping they would do the rmr cut and now they are so that’s great. Might be time to take the plunge. Great video, really enjoyed!

I’m incredibly pleased with my commander length Platy.. Also have a Staccato c2 and agree they are on the same level of build quality. For whatever reason, I go the Platy as there is something that makes it more fun to shoot…perhaps having 20 Glock mags loaded and ready has something to do with it. I hope they come out with a 3.5” variety in the near future as that would be the ultimate EDC. Currently, my EDC is a Bul Armory sas II ultralight, and it too, is a showstopper right out of the box….or soft case…as it were😂.

I have the Staccato C2 and now have the platypus commander length. The grip on Platypus is smaller overall than the C2. Someone with smaller hands would probably appreciate that. The recoil seems slightly less on the C2. Accuracy on both are a wash. Both are quality, I would give the edge to Staccato with DLC finish.

Technically you are correct this pistol has all the standard 1911 controls. But when the polymer double stack grip is added, it becomes a 2011. Thank STI/Staccato. They created the pistol. And named it such. Thanks for the info and fine content. Take care.

That's cool and all don't get me wrong it's a neat achievement and everything, but I can tell it's noticeably wider than a P14. With a P14 frame and the thinner grips, it is no wider than a standard 1911. Also why do makers put cutouts on the slide like that? Originally the purpose of doing cutouts on slides was for porting it for a compensator. I don't understand just having a cutout on the side of the slide like that.
