I have had a hard time getting grip tape to stick to the frame. I haven't gotten the nerve up to try and put silicon carbide on it and permanently alter the frame. Each time I have put tape on it, it just wont stay put.

Try hitting the tape with a heat gun after you apply it

Quick update. Grip gets slippery after sweating for awhile. Gotta rethink this chainlink pattern. Glad he opted for the finger grooves.

We went through 6 different shooters today with it and only shot 500 rds. All using OEM Glock mags with various baseplates and stock baseplates. No issues at all. Everything fed and shot fine. Ammo today was Winchester USA9NATO 9mm 124gr FMJ.

Tomorrow night, my son and I will run 500 rounds through it. 300 rds of Federal 147gr FMJ and 200 rounds of Federal 147gr HST-JHP.

I’m going the other way. I’ve decided to sell my staccato.

 

[Glock2740]

I’m really leaning towards ordering one.

I went to the range today with the son of one of my old Army buddies. First time he ever shot a center fire handgun. Took the staccato, platypus, my carry G-19 and a smith 19-3. While there I let the RSO, a former recon marine who I know is wild about his staccato P, shoot the platypus. And then several other people joined in. Everyone liked the platypus more than the staccato. Me included. Now the 4th time I’ve shot them together and every time I go away thinking I like the platypus more. Plus, as said above, I carry a Glock, and that’s probably not changing. So I may as well keep the range toy that shares mags with my carry gun

i probably shouldn’t say all this with my staccato in the classifieds because now no one will buy it because they’re all ordering from stealth 🤣😂🤣😂

 

[Glock2740]

Have come up with 3 configurations…

 

[Glock2740]

I’ll decide over the weekend.
I’m really ready to pull the trigger on one of these.

I went with a more traditional look too. i almost regret not going wild and crazy. i think I saw someone ordered the a Buffalo bills one. And I know of at least one guy that is seriously considering the Perry.

Just got home. Son and I put 300 rds of 147gr FMJ and 200 rds of 147gr JHP. No issues whatsoever. Other than a quick wipe with some CLP and a bore snake at the very beginning, it ran and ran. I'll give it a proper cleaning tomorrow and searching for a tool-less guide rod that fits it. I'm not fond of these two-piece ones that require a tool.

It shoots so well, we're not going to bother putting an optic on it. He's not used to optics anyway. I'm forced to use one at work so I've had practice.

I'm hoping they make a shorter version eventually. 3.25"-3.5" that takes Glock 19 mags. lol
Or I might just buy another Platy for myself. My XC should be here next month. Kind of regretting ordering it since I never carry anything that large. I ended up getting rid of my P and C2 because I never carried them either. I'm usually carrying some type of Glock since I'm issued a Glock.

@Trio What makes you lean towards the Platypus over the Stacatto? I'm 5 weeks into my P wait, and have fired but never owned a Stacatto, so I'd be interested in why you think the P trumps the S.

 

[GunFu]

Who comes up with these names?

agreed stealth arms is such a tough name then they name the gun platypus. Just odd. nevertheless i want one

 

[Chowser]

everyone is different. I bought a P in 2019 and a C2 in 2020. Didn't like the way they felt. In 2021 we got optics forced on us at work so I got a C2 Duo with threaded barrel and an XC for fun.

Then I remembered why I didn't like them. The grip was just off. I probably should have sent the grips off to get stippling but I didn't. Got rid of them.
This was before their new tactical grip which someone said felt slimmer.

Anyways, ordered the Platy last year since I'm swimming in Glock mags and it fits and shoots great.

Waiting to see if they do a shorter barrel Platy so I can try the new grip. Also waiting for someone close to get the new Staccato CS so I can see how that feels.

 

[kwaits]

For the money I have been very happy with mine

the trigger on the platypus is superior out of the box customization of the platypus is obviously off the charts and then you can’t discount magazine cost and availability the platypus is an equivalent or better shooter as well throw in traditional 1911 recoil system and it’s the winner in my book

gi guide rod and plug ordered from 36,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean.

I know this is an old comment but I'd like to set mine up with a traditional GI guide rod and plug. Could you tell me what parts you ordered to make it happen? I'd appreciate it.

I just ordered an EGW plug and GI style guide rod. It fit perfectly and off I went. Very simple. My understanding is that Stealth sources parts from EGW.
