Create a channel Learn moreFriend of mine has both. After shooting a single mag through each, they felt very similar. The Staccato is more asthetically pleasing, but they are both handguns that fire a bullet with a decent trigger. If you are Mil/LE, Staccato has a great program that makes their guns far more attractive price wise, plus great support if you get in a shooting.Random question for everyone. I have been saying for a while, my next purchase is going to be a Staccato (most likely a C with a threaded barrel), but the more I see it, the more I’m liking the Platypus.
I haven’t held a Platypus yet, let alone shoot one, but if it were your money, which would you choose? I’ve shot a couple different Staccatos, and they are glorious to put a word to it, and I’ve heard the Platypus shoots just as nice.
I have both. Good and bad with both. On the 2011 mags you have to work some of them to make them work. Glock mags are everywhere and work. Staccato there is not much customization, were the Platypus is all about customization. The Staccato is smoother out of the box, but the platypus breaks in just fine. I recommend both of them.Random question for everyone.

Link for Dagger magwell? The wife joined me at a comp last month and really enjoyed herself. I need to strike while the iron is hot; buy her her own pistol, then start her on some legitimate training.Getting back into handguns. Gave the G48 to the little brother after he got shot at. Seemed like a good excuse for a new purchase
Shadow systems CR920XP and a dagger cause damn it’s only $260 lol

Yessir here ya go. I have no complaints with it. I marred some of the finish changing the trigger out, but not too concerned. It's a nice magwell though.Link for Dagger magwell?

It’s nice finish could be better trigger isn’t anything to write home about. But you can’t buy a Glock and do all this to it for $900. I’m excited to shoot it though. Hopefully no issues or at least after the break in it’s running like a top. Worth noting that if you have a G43x/G48 radian is coming out with a ramjet/afterburner combo for it. Just don’t know when.The CR920XP seems pretty nice, definitely my next pick.
I don’t own a Glock, so obviously I don’t have any of their mags, but that is one nice selling point of the Platypus. Staccato mags I’m guessing are north of $50 or $60 each, Glock mags you can find anywhere for next to nothing.I have both. Good and bad with both.

Staccato mags are around $70 and Glock 17 mags are around $24. The one thing that sucks is when you spend $70 on a mag and it doesn't work. Then you end up buying different springs and followers to make it work and now it's $100 mag. Sometimes you might have to bend them or remove a little material to get them to work, it's a 2011 thing. That's the reason I wanted to get the Platypus. I am going to send mine to MK3 to get ports done on it and a change of color.I don’t own a Glock, so obviously I don’t have any of their mags, but that is one nice selling point of the Platypus.

Gees I knew Staccato parts were expensive, I never dreamed they would be $70+ per mag. Ok, so maybe the Platypus is looking up lol.Staccato mags are around $70 and Glock 17 mags are around $24.

My first HK:Figured since we gotta Bolt rifle and Semi auto picture thread in their respective sections, we ought to have a handgun pic thread to go along with em so..
Carry guns, race guns, hunting guns, old school collectible pieces, etc.. whatever ya got/wanna show off - lets see it! Maybe(hopefully?) if we get enough posts, we can turn this into a sticky..
I almost bought a 510T years ago but eventually picked the FNX45T. I already had two other .45ACP’s, so I wouldn’t have to sink in a whole bunch of cash on new ammo, plus I had been wanting a Mk23 since forever, and IMHO, the FNX45T is the upgrade to the Mk23 (I know H&K lovers are going to hate on that statement, but if the shoe fits….).Needed a new bear gun. Picked up an FN 510 Tactical from a gun shop that was liquidating for just north of $700.
Put a Parker Mountain Machine compensator on it. The comp looks factory and greatly reduces recoil (they claim 60%)
Loaded up with some hard cast bear loads. That ridiculous magazine is in the backpack. It's a big beast, but shoots like a gentle 40 now. Hope to never use it for it's intended purpose.

And, thankfully, 10mm is holding enough of a market share that the ammunition is not terrifying. I need to start reloading it here soonBut now that I have my FNX45T kitted out and suppressed, I’ve been eye balling every 510T I pass at a gun show. 10mm is such a good round, and it is a little less heavy, so easier to conceal if need be.

That’s really good info, thank you. Because the Platypus is still more of a “build and order your own”, when it comes time I will probably still start with the Staccato.I have a few different Staccatos and recently a Platypus.
They both shoot nicely. Both are accurate. (I have the 4.25 bull barrel Platypus). Both fit in my Hammer Armament holsters for the P
I really like the Platy's grip--I got the newer, more aggressive texture. Its very good, and feels just a bit slimmer. All of my Staccato grips have have been restippled and reduced (the Ps were redone, the others have grips by Extreme Shooters).
The Staccatos' DLC finish is very good. Mine get used but not abused and so I'm not sure my word on the finish's robustness counts. But I think the consensus is the DLC is good.
The Platy's is cerakote. I think even well applied (which is looks to be) is not as "good" as DLC. Others can weigh in. But OH the diversity of options.
Being able to use different RDS plates for the Staccato is nice, but so is picking a specific RDS and having mount low and choose iron sights, as is the case with the Platypus.
The customization, and the relatively mild impact on price, that Stealth Arms offers is pretty great.
There is some concern that the aluminum frame on the Plat may not hold up well with heavy use, + ammo or the like. I can't comment on that. It may/ may not be a concern for you.
None of this answers the "if it were my money, which one would I buy." I think if I was starting over, and had no magazines from one of the other, and I wasn't planning on getting into the 2011 game, Id probably get the Platypus. Its very cool. The staff at my LGS thought so to--it was the first they'd seen.
OTOH, I have a bunch of 2011s, and knew I wanted to add a Platypus.
How you liking that Holosun? I have a Vortex Venom on my FNX45T and I’m liking it meh at best. Been thinking about getting something for my P320, just don’t know what I’d want yet though.Seccond time i did camo ceracoat
Its a tricked out p320 but not finished yet
Yeah I’ve been thinking about the SRO for my TTI (because that’s what it’s supposed to come with), but hard time justifying that kind of money on a gun that is already one of the most accurate pistols in my collection and has incredible fiber optic sights out of the box.Honestly iv tried most of them, Leupold is one i yet have to test out but i really love that green dot i have on my sig, the best one i shoot with is by far trijicon SRO

Before you ask, “Why not the SRO for your P320 then?” The answer is, and this is entirely my personal opinion and could very well be my imagination, the SRO on a P320 just looks weird. I guess the lines of a P320 just look better with a squarer optic. And if your next question is, “Dude, WTF? Really?” The answer to that one is I’m OCD about the stupidest shit and it will drive me nuts lol. I already hate the looks of the 512 with G45 I’m running on my 10.5” .300BLK build, but I’m not going to change it because it works soooo damn well.

Great minds think alike!Don’t remember if I posted this or not, but FNX45T kit complete.
Seen this one?...Comps are hideous, radian wont make a ramjet for it (I asked) even though that would be perfect for that gun...
I have. I honestly can’t stand the esthetics of any of them. Which why i want radian to make a ramjet so desperately. It would be a perfect fit for it.Seen this one?
Expansion chamber's on the small side, though.HC10 3.0 COMPENSATOR FOR CZ P10
