You can order a sub 3 lb competition trigger from the factory when building the Platypus. The standard trigger on the Stac's are about 4 LBS, so most get the triggers re done for competition.
Correct, I believe that Staccato's platforms were targeted as duty pistols and therefore the triggers were geared toward duty carry weights. With the popularity of their 2011 (1911DS) and Limited Optics added to groups like USPSA...you have folks changing those triggers
I have both and accuracy is literally the same. One day you do better with Staccato, another day with Platypus. The only differences are: 1) Platypus have cheaper mags, 2) my Staccato works perfect for last 5 years and 10.000 rounds, and Platypus broke in less then a month and less then 500 rounds so I doubt they know 100% what they are doing and would not recommend anyone use it as EDC.
I don’t have a P. I do have a C2 limited w/ comp. It’s longer than my XC. But I just got a platy. I’m disabled, so my buddy it be different. For me, the C2, is better than the platy. The slide for me is the main reason. The C2 is just easier for me. The platy is way better than my Glock, and shadow systems (which I dislike) it is smooth and accurate. Now I love all my guns( not the shadow) lol lol
I have the C2 but no comp and I love it! The platy just shoots well. But each shooter is different. I just got my first shadow yesterday. I’ll tell you how it goes. Hope you subscribed! I have more content I think you’ll like coming up!
I believe the C2 uses their “light” recoil spring (not sure the # spring or the weight). Likely adding to the ease of racking the slide. Now, From what I understand (going to test by purchasing new springs someday) the Platypus uses a #12 recoil spring for extra reliability. That’s one reason why everyone seems to have darn near 100% reliability with the platypus, even with +p defensive ammo which Sometimes causes 2011’s with lighter recoil springs some hang ups I.e. stovepiping & not going into battery completely. But switching to a #10 spring, you will likely make the slide easier and smoother to rack and so long as you’re not running +p ammo, you shouldn’t see a drop in reliability 👍 this is all from what I’ve read in the forums and watched from videos of people who switch to lighter springs.
I am looking at looking at the Bul Armory SAS II Tac 5, but the Platypus has my attention. Just don't know if I want to wait 20 weeks or possibly more. Never held one and grip cannot be changed. Have you tested the Bul Armory SAS II Tac pistol? What are your thoughts on the Platypus vs the Bul Armory SAS II TAC pistol?
So I’ve ordered the SAS II, I’ve held it but haven’t shot one yet. You can find the platy in the wild on gunbroker if customizing is not important to you. The SAS II has a good reputation but I’ll let you know soon! The Platy I promise is worth the money.
@@RazorMP_Official nothing to review with the colors really. Its all subjective to what people want. The performance bonus of the new texture + bull barrel though is interesting
The modularity of the Staccato (e.g., ability to change grips) is a big difference that anyone should consider. You cannot change that on the Platypus.
You make a fair point, although the ability to customize in every color under the sun has attracted a lot of folks to the platypus. Granted it's novel and adds really no benefit other than aesthetics but nowadays consumers do appreciate the ability to personalize a pistol never mind that it shoots well too. But I think being able to change grips would be a welcomed feature and lets face it, Staccato has a good reputation and very much field tested.
I have been looking to track one down. I have held one...but not fired one yet. I'll do a video as soon as I get a hold of one. Stay tuned and subscribed so you don't miss it
I totally agree I picked up a new Platypus with an aggressive grip, which my dry hands prefer and they are amazing. The customizations and glock mags are the some of the greatest features. Make sure to subscribe...going to be pitting the new platy up against some other heavy hitters! Hit that bell so you don't miss it!
I get so tired of people taking trash guns and comparing them to a Staccato. Maybe you just suck at shooting. Or maybe you’re on their payroll. What baloney.
@@RazorMP_Official Then maybe you should give your crappy Staccato away so you can buy stock in Stealth Arms. What’s next hi point vs Staccato? This is just clickbait to make Platypus owners feel better about themselves. If they want a Staccato they should just go buy one and stop with the dumb comparisons. Stay tuned everyone for Platypus vs Infinity!
Bro, my build up prodigy out shoots my staccato. My Cajuned shadow 2 smokes my staccato. And I have a platypus on order so we will see. I’m not a fanboy of any band I just try to keep it real.
I actually love my staccatos. All three and say as much in the video and said (if you watched the video which I’m assuming you haven’t) that the platy is untested. At least not as well tested as the staccato. I’ll assume you haven’t shot a platypus yet?

That’s interesting. I haven’t heard much about the platypus having issues. What happened to yours? FYI I love my staccatos.
What do you mean by broke. Did they fix it?
@@Blebobeep7492 firing pin broke. I am not a gunmaker so I can’t tell more details, sorry. I shipped it to them and waiting for repair.
Ignore the split times. Timer settings were off

RazorMP is speaking the truth. I own both and the Platypus has the edge. 💯
Though the results aren't exactly "night and day" differences...the platy still came out on top The customer service from SA is top notch as well.
Good comparison video. Maybe get a 3rd Platy with the new texture + bull barrel 🤘😀
The colors are awesome for sure but just too impatient to wait for a custom job. Though I am going to send them back to get fitted for bull barrels!
@@RazorMP_Official nothing to review with the colors really. Its all subjective to what people want. The performance bonus of the new texture + bull barrel though is interesting
Agreed. I’ll see what I can do! lol
I would love an all steel Platypus. I can dream and wait. 🤣
That would be awesome
Keep em coming
Will do!

can the mag release button be switched to the other hand? im left handed
I do not believe you can but I’ll see what I can find out for you. Who knows. The mags are cut for either so presumably it’s possible.
Hi RazorMp, how does Bul Armory compare to them?
I have been looking to track one down. I have held one...but not fired one yet. I'll do a video as soon as I get a hold of one. Stay tuned and subscribed so you don't miss it
The new grip with platypus is awesome and how you can configure is great to you really cant beat glock mags iether you know my choice .

Own both. Both are great but Staccato is a better gun
What do you like better about the staccato?

lol someone is a staccato fan boy.

@@sugarbear573 your prodigy? Maybe you’re just used to shooting trash guns. Lol. Prodigy😂.
Canadians aren't allowed to have hand guns shooting projectiles over 211 feet per second if its a replica hand gun.
That is a tragedy....
