Stealth arms platypus

[Rick60]

Ok so I am strongly looking at the stealth arms platypus. Who here has one or has shot one? I've looked to see if there has been any reported issues with them and have found nothing the last I looked. There are only two people on YouTube that have any content on them. So let's hear it from the peanut gallery what do you goes think of them? Thanks

Just received mine today. It is every bit as good as I thought it would be. I was worried about the grip being too wide for me and my small hands the rip is perfect!

I should get mine around the first of June. Ordered it several weeks ago and the lead time was 8 weeks.

Update!! Got it! Stealth Gray

Waiting on the range report.

I have a friend who likes his platypus more than his dwx compact!

Curious, were you watching the order tracker? I’ve read on another forum that an order status said “prepping for paint” and then the shipping notice was received next day.

I ordered 4/13 and mine has been at the prepped for paint stage for an almost 2 weeks.

I ordered 4-18 and mine has been "parts staged" for two weeks.. Website said 11-13 weeks when I ordered but it appears they have gotten a little behind.

Ordered 4/13 and arrived 8/2. No range report yet, but so far I’m happy with it!

I ordered 4-18, picked it up at Parabellum today.. Short range session and I am stunned with the quality and engineering in this piece. I'm hard pressed to believe that a Staccato is any better or even as good as what I've experienced with the Platypus. Outside the box optic mount and rear back up sight and the whole thing just screams quality and reliability.
First shot down range after the optic was sighted in (7 yards)

Which optic do you have? I’m shopping around for mine.

507K Holosun

Is the 507k the smaller RDS compared to the 507c? Or is it better in some way?

Different footprint I believe. Think the C is based on RMR footprint. The K is based on the Shield RMS/SMS footprint I believe.

Footprints/Mounting Standards on Red Dot Sights - Optics Trade Blog

In this article, the most common footprints/mounting standards used on red dot sights are listed. Each standard is described and an image of it is added.

Typically from what I have seen RMR is for the wider slide guns, while the Shield RMS/SMS footprint is geared more to the thinner (365 for example) slides

Is it wrong that my biggest attraction to this gun is that it would give me something to use my boxes and boxes of Glock mags in?

I must admit when I saw a firearm named platypus I just had to look and see!!!! An odd name….. a good looking pistol. But yeah a weird name!!! The fact they utilize the Glock mags I see as a plus…. Say what you will about Glock but they run. And that’s not me being a fanboy I don’t even own one anymore. I do wish they made them in 10mm or 45acp…..

All pistol magazines should be Glock magazines...

That seems to be a recurring problem with the 2011 guns, reasonably priced, reliable magazines. Exactly why the gun was built around Glock 17 mags, they are reasonable and proven reliable.

I came across the platypus on the Internet just a couple days ago and was really impressed with what I found about it. Of course the product builder is way too fun to play with. I've never dropped that much on a gun and don't know that I would/will but I admit it is still speaking to me.
