- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ค. 2024
- The Staccato P is the standard for a 2011 style pistol - it is THE 2011 - but the Prodigy gives you a similar experience for about $1000 less. The Stealth Arms Platypus is a double stack 1911 that takes GLOCK mags - which is pretty neat - and completely customizable by you when you order. Join us as we look at what's in the market in 2023.

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.
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.
But does it take Glock mags?
Oh, wait...
@@russiancommylead time is 20-24 weeks now. 😮
@@Pauliwog3confirmed, just ordered mine and they said expect it around Christmas.
They now offer the threaded barrel, lighter trigger, prickle texture, bull barrel, and rmr cut in the platypus. But the lead time jumped way up
Nice to see James Reeves has some real competition in the short shorts category at this years Gundies
Nahhh those shorts are shants... Not quite pants but definitely not James Reeves short!
Reeve’s shorts are higher than Snoop on 4/20
I was hoping you would include the Bul Armory.
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.
how is it? (idk how long they take to ship), but i cant believe they can manufacture these with so many colors it doesnt make sense to me
Has it arrived? What is your impression?
any update on the platypus?
I'm curious too
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.
This was an excellent comparison, you really broke it down without unnecessary detail.
Thank you for your evaluation of these great pistols!!👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😉
i tell everyone that comes into the shop looking at 1911s about the platypus hoping they will go home, order one and send it for the transfer so that i can check one out.
Thanks to you and regular gun guy I just ordered 5 inch platypus last night in bright ass orange and black
Love the lack of mim parts
Great comparison video. I have a Platypus on order but several weeks away still from delivery. Looking forward to your 1k round review.
Great informative video David!! You outdid yourself. With my budget, the Prodigy is for me. Thanks & have an awesome week Brother!!
back to back super bowls let’s gooo
Great video! Thank you for the way you present the information. Like you I seen tons of videos and post trashing the Staccato and the Prodigy. I don’t know about the Staccato but I am thoroughly impressed with my Prodigy, it is my third 2011\1911 double stack with the other two being high end customs. I was able to tinker with the factory components in my Prodigy and achieve a nice 3lbs trigger. Granted it probably will wear out, when it does I will replace it with high end parts.
I love my prodigy too, without breaking the bank!!
Yeeeaah Futher Muckers, another great review by The Humble Marksman! Murica, yeah son!!
excellent comparison! i've been looking for exactly this! not sure how i missed it since you put it out 4 months ago...
The 2 piece guide rod. Use shoe goo, e 6000 etc on the threads . It will keep it from coming apart but it will be easy to disassemble.
Well done as always.
Love the idea of the "Hybrid trigger". Drawing the difference between a flat and totally curved trigger is my ideal. I want to get a trigger with that profile on an AR.
Check rise armament, it’s got that curve
Gave a like just for the Bret 'The Hitman' Hart shades! Goes with the 'The Hart Foundation' Platy very nicely!
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!!
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.
BDE!!! Thank you for the video and honest reviews... I can only wish here in California. 😢
I love my Staccato P, it's Accurate and Fun.
I really enjoy my Prodigy. It’s great for what I can afford. No issues with mine either. Over 2k rounds in mine
I have 5 1911s 45 amp colt and Kimber and I love the prodigy but I have had issues with some ammo but its one of my favorite guns
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.
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.
Lmao at “my $2,500 gun is better than your $2,500 gun”. Great video, glad I found your channel while searching for reviews of the Platypus.
The Staccato P is Awesome 👌
i’ve had all 3. platy and staccato at same time. i will say i think i enjoyed the platy a little more than most but if you can afford one, get an atlas’s and you’ll never need another 2011 again. got an erebus and artemis, destroys the other three by a huge margin
Thank you sir for you time and great review. Where is the Bul tac 4.25 at
Great review. Thank you.
Atlas makes a toolless guide rod for the Prodigy; I bought one, they are awesome.
Hey! I like guns that look like peanut butter! I’m a 19X fanboy. But I also have a PDP that has as many Walther blue accessories as possible, and that’s my EDC.
I got my Platypus about 2 weeks ago and have 500 rounds through it already, it is a mint gun! Only wish I could get a holster for it
That’s my only issue with it and keeping me from buying 1. I need an OWB with a back strap (lvl2-3) that a QLS fork will mount on. I’m told Staccato holsters don’t work unless it’s light mounted which still requires modification
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 🤦🏾♂️
Excellent comparison video! I hope you do this again after the Girsan 2311 and the Oracle Arms come out.
the girsan was supposed to be out already but i have heard absolutely nothing about them
@@will-zj5gq they did say April release at the end of last year. I have seen some online saying august now. I'm waiting to see some reviews before I get one but still exciting stuff
@@logan7331 dang August? i guess i’m getting a prodigy
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.
Great Video
Always wanted a prodigy just cause I'm a sucker for Springfield. But I really like how you can make the platypus any way you want
i’m selling my 5in with a surefire x300u and 4 mags total
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.
The Staccato is a truly accurate pistol w/iron sights offhand out to 70 yards in my case.
Just picked up a Staccato P at my local Scheels, the classic grip on sale for 1949. They had the new grip frame for 2199.
Not an optic one? My used optic one was 2100
Just send it to chambers custom for there cut. Its better then staccatos.
@@TheHumbleMarksman yes non optic, the optic cut was 2400ish.
@@tjc501 I’ll keep that in mind
Jesus $1949 just 10 months ago? They’re like $3k now.
This is my first time ever watching your videos & I was not expecting to hear “BDE” in the first 30 seconds let alone change the whole meaning 😂
excellent review
I identify as a Cork Sniffer. 😂 Range Bruhs unite! Great video, David. Keep it up. 🤟💯
Cork sniffing 1911 guy? Best description.
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.
I try to stay politics free. That’s other people’s jam
Man, great review.
Platypus with upcoming RMR cut is very interesting
Dawson Precision makes a guide rod for the Prodigy fyi. First upgrade I made after experiencing the Dawson in my Staccato P.
Yeah for sure I would get one
Great video.
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
DAA safeties will break. Ask me how i know.
Thanks!
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.
Let us know when you get your hands on that Witness 2311. Very curious to see how it stacks up to the prodigy.
I don’t think a prodigy is super nice but I do always recommend it to people wanting to get into a DS1911. I think the fact it takes the same magazines as the “big boys” so if you buy a nicer DS1911 your 125$ dollar mags don’t just collect dust 🤣.
I also do love all the upgrades currently available for it. You can get into one cheap and customize it to how you want a gun to be. Absolutely my recommendation for someone wanting to get into 2011s but doesn’t want to drop money on an Atlas, Rafferty, Candy Mountain Custom, or SV.
w 14 week Platypus lead times, it's likely they come out with new features that were not available at the time of ordering. wondering what lead times are for a standard build, no color and if the cerokoting is the main hold up/
It appears that some of the cerakote started to come off on the trigger where the orange meets the blue? 1:26 marking. Nice review!
Does the platypus feel like a block glock in your hand? Which grip would be most comfortable for shorter shooters? Already have a double stack RIA and the grips feels huge compared to my friend’s staccato.
Thanks!
Which would u pick between a glock or shadow systems??
🤣 y'all boys wild!!! I love it keep up the good content bro!!
Great video, but how come the bull armory was not included. If anything that should have replaced the staccato... or compared the 3 to the staccato. 😢
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.
Dude.. you’re onto something !!
But a p356 mischief machine frame.
WTF Big Dad Bod!!?? Why was I unsubscribed?!! TH-cam Suck my Sac. Thanks for the review Humble. Would have never known I was unsubscribed if I wasn’t researching this. I have a Staccato, a Bul Armory because of your older review of it which is an excellent firearm. I’m good on the Springfield though. Think the Platypus is worth purchasing? You haven’t been wrong yet. Good to see ya young man.
New to the channel, and I just have to say that in addition to your great content, your Buc-ees hat rocks. Beaver nuggets around the horn. Cleanest bathrooms and cheapest deer corn around.
Just a heads up, you might be using screws that are too long on that prodigy rmr. It looks to me like the mounting plate might be getting pried upward from the screws going past the plate bottom and into the slide.
Lets see a Phoenix Arms HTac review !
Just ordered a staccato p the first of May, now the wait. I paid a little extra for a lighter trigger for mine.
How much is a little extra and how can I order it with that option?
@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.
Nice Heatwave shades
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!
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.
Personally I am going for the apallo when that drops
Have you gotten your hands on the DS9 Commander Hybrid, compared the the staccato p duo?
My wife and kid are going to make me feel bad for buying a new pistol so I’ll settle and buy that sweet buccees hat that I just screenshot here
Platypus is my favorite of the 3. Given all the configurations and it takes Glock mags instantly gives it very high marks.
Have you been hitting the weights? Shooting footage shows you're kinds buff dude. Right on.
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.
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.
When you work somewhere and they have a policy that says your gun has to take Glock 17 mags the platypus has got your back
You should review the Alpha Foxtrot S15
STI 5.0 edge 9 mm or Springfield prodigy, which one are you going to choose?
I’m going with the Prodigy out of the three. I can get it local for 1k unless the platypus is way better for USPSA
which trigger option did you choose for the Platypus?
Loved it. Still think my prodigy problems would suck really bad for anyone that can’t fit a barrel to a 1911 but after you change out all the mim parts it is actually not a prodigy so now it’s good. I still really want a platypus
Are any of these guns $500 better than a stock Shadow 2 SA ? Right now palmetto State armory has them on sale for $850
Tripp is the man... Ill buy a real old sti before a stacatto
What holster are you using for the platypus?
These Pistols seem awesome. That being said they’re so expensive.
Where are you getting holsters? LvL2-3 with QLS fork capability would be preferred..
Trying to conceal carry these is silly 😂
Great video, I think the BUL is a great middle ground between the STI and these other options, but the customization options on the Platypus are awesome and it's a lot of fun to design them on their website
I live in Canuckistan and this video was deliberately intended to hurt my last remaining feeling
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.
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.
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.
"You gotta do some homework on your side" bro... you're the homework I'm doing! 😭
Can a tool-less guide rod fit the platypus?
I spit out my Haribo 'Happy Cola' gummy when you said $160 optic plate for the Staccato. What an absolutely comical joke.
What holster do you use on the Platypus?
Where can you find the Platypus for the same credits as the Bull SAS at?? Please lmk I'm in Ohio so it is really easy to get most firearms here thx
Staccato for the win! 🏆
For sure 💯
I'm 6 weeks into my 6-8 week wait for my platypus. You mentioned holster. I also got a commander slide with the full tactical dust cover. What are some companies that make holsters for it.
The new Darkstar Gear Apollo and the Tenicor 19/2011 holster both work
Just wish the platapus had a bull barrel
Pretty sure they said at shot show that it's being added.
currently an option you can customize. both bull barrel and threaded bull barrel
It does
So if Platy had a bull barrel, you would take that over both?
Thoughts on the Kimber double stack 1911 that's coming out at a MSRP of 1499.00 kds9c comes in silver or black. No grip safety. Looks like a bul armory tac and a Wilson had a love child
Kimber sucks, no accessory rail, no ambi controls. And Kimber sucks
Kimber=disappointment
