Compatible with Glock® magazines. The 9mm Platypus™ works with Glock® 17 magazines while maintaining the 1911 grip angle. With our online builder you become the designer! Create your own 1911 by selecting the styles, shapes, colors, and finishes of each component. Experiment with various combinations and view them in real-time with the interactive builder to see exactly what the finished product will look like. Once you’ve designed the 1911 pistol of your dreams and are ready to place your order, search our nationwide database of Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers and select the dealer of your choice. Every gun we build is manufactured from the highest quality billet materials on the market and we machine each and every part in our cutting-edge facility to ensure superior quality and a perfect fit. Performance checks and safety tests are performed on each gun before it ships from our facility. Learn more about The Stealth Arms’ Guarantee. Once your custom 1911 pistol is manufactured and tested, we’ll pack and ship the gun to your local dealer. You’ll be notified once your gun is ready to pick up and your local dealer will work with you to get everything finalized. https://www.stealtharms.net/p/platypus Base MSRP is $1,400, and cost goes up from there based on options. A fully decked-out optics-ready Government model with magwell and threaded barrel costs less than a Staccato: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/414849/AEF68815-1764-47C0-8202-28EBE8521789-2764027.jpg Options include short or full-length dustcover with or without accessory rail, 4.25” or 5” barrel, round or square trigger guard, grip and slide textures, trigger style, no optics cut or cut for RMRcc or DPP footprint (ACRO and 407K footprint available soon), standard or threaded barrel, magwell, standard or ambi safety, and you can specify the break weight of the trigger. All options are a la carte, so you can get any mix you want. You can also choose multiple different finishes on nearly every individual component: https://cdn7.coreware.com/cache/image-full-327180-09d4607efbf74738f0e692cba9dadf0f.jpg https://cdn7.coreware.com/cache/image-full-327250-1eadc333ed8e59787349bf5d014b4bfd.jpg https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/IMG_3610.jpg If these guns prove to be reliable, Stealth Arms is going to have a winner. I’d like to see a comparison between one of these and a Dan Wesson DWX and Oracle 2311 I like the green one. I’m getting tired of seeing threaded barrels on everything. |

I just held one.
Stealth grey, full length rail, commander slide, flat trigger. I did not disassemble it. It felt REALLY good in the hand. Fit and finish were excellent. Trigger was crisp and light. It did not feel bulky or huge in the hand. I could seriously consider getting one. |

I talked to them on Friday. They are making mine and putting the Acro I sent them to test on it. I got mine with a commander slide When it gets to my FFL I’ll take pictures of it and post it here. I didn’t do anything nuts on coloration or anything Black frame with a gray slide, round trigger guard. I’m extremely excited.

Not a fan of the finger grooves or grip texture.
Kind of surprised they didn't offer a grip module and removable mag well. I'm still interested, I'd just be more interested if they changed a few things. |

And now it’s April 2nd and I still have my receipt for the gun I ordered that will be coming back to me with the Aimpoint Acro that I sent to Stealth (in the beginning of March, no less) so they could use it to design the slide geometry so they could offer the Platypus to the public precut for the Acro. Maybe read the whole thread?

For those asking, stealth arms has been around for years. They were pretty big in the 80% space but with threats to 80% market they move on to this. They will be here in a week or two I think. Any serious questions besides “why platypus” I will pass them on to Mr B and see if they would like that info here. Once again on the grip. There are no grip panels which allows the grip to be thinner. It is very comfortable. Very much more so than say a 92f if that is a concern. |

I will check Tuesday and see if I can see the drawing or ask for information. I have held the 10mm/45 proto and will try and shoot them early next week. Was supposed to do that yesterday but the little storm messed that up. Happycamel. The Glock mags were selected for consistency and cost compared to 1911 mags & 2011 mags respectively. I’m sure you could make an argument for xyz mag but just the volume of Glock 17/19 mags out there settles that. |

Is the mag catch metal or polymer? Metal will wear down the notch on polymer magazines quicker.
