So first and foremost, the Platypus runs on Glock mags. Have I mentioned that yet? Due to the length of the magwell, magazines will need to be at least Glock 17 length to sit and feed correctly. With the magwell attached, I had no issues feeding 17-round OEM and Magpul Glock mags, along with 33-round stick mags. Wanting to showcase the originality ...
The Stealth Arms Platypus is packaged in a soft carrying case that features a Multicam Black inner lining with elastic mag inserts and two velcro inner pockets. From the factory, the Platypus comes with two 17-round OEM Glock magazines, a user manual, extra rear sight for use in conjunction with a red dot, and multiple Allen wrenches with a few ext...
Externally the Platypus shares nearly all of the same similarities as 1911’s except for utilizing a larger internal magwell without the ability to replace the grip panels. The Stealth Arms Platypus maintains the 1911 grip angle of 17.5 degrees and utilizes the back grip safety. The thumb safety selector is only on the left side of the frame for now...
While a magwell is an optional choice when building out your own custom Platypus, it is a $25 add-on that I think is well worth it. It is flared wide to help get those speedy reloads, and provides a solid hand stop at the bottom of the grip. It is locked in place with a pin and groove system and doesn’t have any wobble when installed. I had to remo...
Again, these are custom guns so there are multiple options as to what slide serrations or cuts the final pistol will have, but I am a fan of the multiple options. The rear slide serrations are quite deep which gives plenty of texture to grab onto, and the front slide ports look great. From the factory, the slide felt very smooth and held tight tole...
The Platypus is available with or without an optic cut but will feature Novak® style sights either way. In my opinion, the best style of iron sights are those with a fiber optic front and blacked-out rear and that is exactly what comes with this pistol. In addition to the blacked-out rear iron sight that comes installed on the optic cover plate, St...
While there are currently three different trigger options, I thought the “skeleton” trigger matched the style I was going for the best. I even had it Cerakoted green. The front of the trigger has small serrations which give a nice texture to the front face. I measured the pull weight to consistently be around ~3.5 lbs which I find to have a nice ba...
Stealth Arms offers both a standard and threaded match grade 416R Stainless Steel barrel to be used in the Platypus. I opted for the 5″ threaded version (1/2 x 28) so I could politely use a suppressor. The barrel shoots great, and the threaded version comes with a knurled thread protector. This direct thread suppressor actually hits the guide rod k...
