I've had a Colt Delta Elite in 10mm a few years back, but I really like this one so much better! the only change from factory was to get rid of factory mags and replace with Kimber10mm mags,, S&B for plinking, Fort Scott T.U.I. and Federal Syntech solid core for everything else. smooth as butter in operation, very surprised!

My Stealth Arms Platypus got delivered yesterday.View attachment 8210289View attachment 8210290

The finish is Elite Sand to match my AIs.

Haven't had a chance to fire it yet, but the workmanship is quite good and it feels nice in the hand. Stock G17 mags sit flush with the extended mag well flare, so I'll probably run G19X mags.
Can you put extended base plates on the G17 mags and still fit?

Notice yours has a tactical barrel but didn't see that feature on their website
 
This was a Covid project that dragged on a bit. Limited to 10 rounds here in Oz.. and barrels over 120mm (4.7ish inches)... it shoots.

Gen 4 G17. KKM Barrel & Comp. Timney Trigger with a heap of mods to get the trigger bar to spec. TTI Carry Magwell and a bit of slide work and stippling.

My first handgun when startet competive shooting was a Smith & Wesson 586-3 Target Champion chambered in .357Magnum

Was three times second place and one time first place on our state championship of DSB / "Deutscher Schützenbund" 25m precision & duell shooting

Second handgun was an STI Europe 1911 Sparta 5" chambered in 9mm.
Shot ist with a handload an was multiple times first place at 25m precision and Duell shooting.

Since I take my spare time more for hunting than for competive shooting, I bought a Glock 19X which I really really love.

Precision with factory ammo is as good as my 1911 with handload. Take it as you want, either the Glock shoots superb or my handload were bad 😅😜

Last picture shows 20 shots rapid fire @15m using S&B 124grains factory ammo.
