- In this Episode of the Point of Impact Show brought to you by HRT Tactical our hosts Aaron sits down with Tim of Stealth Arms home of the Glock Mag 1911/2011 Platypus. They walk through the history and how the Platypus come about and what the future has in store.
Stealth Arms was founded in 2012, with a simple mission: to meet the needs of American gun-owners with quality products and unrivaled customer service.

the stealth arms platypus is the absolute top double stack 1911 to date
I ordered my first Platypus towards the end of last year and it is by far the best quality firearm that I have ever owned. I have a large collection of 1911s and 2011s, but the Platypus beats them all. So, of course I ordered another one earlier this year when the new features came out, so now I'm waiting on my commander model with the bull barrel to come in. My experience with Stealth Arms is second to none regarding quality and customer service. They are the new kings of the industry as far as I'm concerned.
We need to update to that new bull barrel!
got mine on order. i cant wait to get my hands on it.
@@chrisspencer4564 definitely worth the wait!
The Platypus is amazing! Huge shout out to Stealth Arms. The quality combined with the customization and the Glock mags. It’s a literal no brainer. Such an awesome pistol. Absolutely love mine.
Fully agree!
Great video!!!! One of the best platypus videos I’ve ever seen. Awesome job, sir.
Thanks!
I just received my Platypus from my local FFL, and boy…. The entire staff flooded around me to look at it and hold it. I’ve never seen so much hype for another persons firearm. Speaks volumes about the name Stealth Arms. Their pistol is truly unmatched IMO. Now if someone would make a f’n holster for thing. Theres only a few options as far as barrel length and trigger guard. SOMEONE MAKE A HOLSTER PLEASE.
That's awesome! Depending on your model they will fit in Safariland.
@@HRTTacticalGearI contacted Stealth Arms in regards to a holster, and they sent me to Safariland, so I emailed Safariland to see what they suggested for my configuration. Unsurprisingly, they said they do not have any holster for my set up. Sooooooo f*ck me I guess lol.
I just picked up mine last Monday and it was worth every penny. Springfield Prodigy 5" holsters fit my Platypus...
My platypus order is about a month out...fingers crossed. I check the website every day and it stays open in my browser all day. I am soooo excited to get it.
Worth the wait!
I love my platypus.. Waiting for new calibers with a bigger grip. Keep it up !!!
🤜
Most innovative firearms companies in the last decade.
Yeah they are definitely up there!
I ordered one a few weeks ago. Yes, definitely the best website to use for customization. I've been to many of them.
Hands down the best!
I was so fortunate today and found a platypus at my gun range. I was so shocked that they had. They were even shocked that they had it. I put that baby on layaway. It is the “crowd pleaser” pre set model that is on the website in the 5inch version. Im so happy I went in there today. No 24 week wait period for me! 😁😁😁
Wow great score!!
Thank you bro!!
After watching this i couldnt be any prouder being from small town, Celina Ohio...u guys are the shit!
Ohio companies coming together!
I didn’t realize how much you can configure on their site it’s basically a schematic 3d builder. After spending hours on designs I settled on one (for now) and ordered it recently. The bull barrels and .45 are awesome additions. I just went with a standard bushing and 9mm for the build.
Their builder is the best in the industry hands down!
This gun is definitely on my list of guns I want. Only thing holding me back has been for holster compatibility, specifically for duty use
The safari land staccato als holsters work if you get the full extended rail you’ll want the staccato xc holster. The safariland 6354rds. This video shows a 5” with a threaded barrel (holster plug removed) czcams.com/video/QXkBMcSbGeQ/video.htmlsi=GpGFr9wYAtK-E9Hj I use one of these for a Glock 17 and love it they lock in place and are frictionless, I don’t even want to use kydex holsters anymore plus it protects the finish being frictionless.
Great interview. Ordered mine in March and can’t wait to receive it.
Great platform! You get the bull barrel?
@@HRTTacticalGear yes, bull barrel in the Commander with the prickle grip.
My order is in queue also, looking forward to a ported bull barrel that can be used wtih the Trident slide in the future. Also like to see a tool less guide rod offering.
I have about 45 different color schemes saved. That builder is by far the best I've seen.
Thanks for the interview.
Ported would be awesome!
@@HRTTacticalGear I second the ported barrel option. To be able to use a non ported for limited optics and switch over to a ported barrel or barrel with a comp for open would be awesome out of the same gun. I’d definitely buy an extra barrel to have on hand.
@@ScaryTerry23 We can only hope!
About a month or two away from receiving my first platypus. Ironically, after watching just about every video on CZcams about the platypus, I’m more concerned about whether I going to approve of my own Cerakote selection, than I am the build quality. ALL of reviews I can find, are just that good. Cant wait & great interview.
No issues with the one we have!
@@HRTTacticalGear seems like everyone who buys one, loves it 👍🏼
@@averyostrowsky8692 Definitely a good choice
I wish holster folks would catch up with new guns. I get that they make what sells and there are so many variations that they would spend a lot on molds for very little return. If anyone made a good AIWB holster that could fit the two lengths with/without the rails and round/square trigger guards I think they would be able to corner the market like Stealth Arms has. Can't wait for my Platypus, and I hope Tim and the rest of the folks enjoy building it as much as I enjoyed designing it, and I know I will enjoy putting it on the clock.
Holsters are a crux because there are so many variants and that sucks because sometimes you are limited on what you can carry as you don't want a cheap "universal" holster
Check out River Arms LLC he makes exclusively platypus holsters and does an amazing job. He makes them in whatever variant you can think of. Sidecars, iwb, owb, and battle belt holsters
@@ryanphillips8834 Nice!
My platypus is still in the queue and probably won't be ready until the end of July beginning of August. As far as options in the future, an in-house thread on comp in both the standard and trident profile. Anodizing/DLC, a universal optics mount similar to the Springfield Echelon. For their next major endeavor I'd like to see a completely original CCW, a compact narrow hammer fired concealed carry with 1911 style trigger and controls but doesn't have to be a true 1911, The size of the 365 macro, I'd be fine if it used 17 round macro magazines.
Staccato, STI legacy, Springfield, etc...
I love 'em. The best build experience was Stealth Arms. Their site is top. The gun is awesome. Top notch. My 2k platypus is second only to my 4k XC and that only after a grip module swap to something grippier. Cheely.
SA got it right. One improvement to think about, DLC.
My platypus is very agressive prickle .😅 masochist much? Love the gun. Great job SA.
Yeah they are doing good things!
Still patiently waiting for 10mm. .357 Sig is an awesome round but it's pretty much dead at this point.
Agreed!
I ordered mine in Feb. right when the new options came out and still waiting for it but would love to order a second one and wish they would come out with a installment plan seeing they are now at around 20 weeks out. Something like $500-1000 down and so much a month or week I would be all in on a second one for sure and it should be possible other manufactures are doing it.
I ordered mine on 2/19 and I just got it Monday
I got a Springfield 1911 for 1200 $ years ago and I would love to upgrade to your new beautiful platform I've never used a 2011 before
This is a really good value for getting into the 2011 game!
Just ordered a platypus and the site says 6 months... I hope theyre actually only 3 months out and they didn't just explode since 3 weeks ago lol
Dang, lets hope! Or plan for 6 months and be excited when its shorter!
If these guy's stay at the same quality they've been, I'm going to be a lifer for these guy's.
I wanted a Glock Mag 1911 since 2014, and every time I said I wanted one people said,"It's impossible." I saw it, bought it as soon as I found out, someone made one, I put it on order because I figured"Even if it's dogshit, I want to support this idea" I've been so happy. You guy's absolutely achieved everything I hoped for, I let everyone who asks to shoot it give er a go, the accuracy and trigger is fantastic.
A really stupid little thing that I think would really be appreciated by some of the guns snob's and is something people would pay extra for
is maybe offering an option for slide fitment on uncoated rails, Even the highest end gun snobs don't have anything to complain about other than the lightweight (Which I love) and frame rails loosening after the coat wears off. (Not a big deal to me, it is something other's mention a lot if you look on 2011 groups, it is also an issue on the Springfield Prodigy, but obviously that is in fact a turd.)
The other thing which is kinda a bigger deal to me is that the commander length models have a stroke that is ever so slightly too small for Shok buffs to run reliably, this is a concern because I'm running 6k-10k rounds a year, and I'm concerned about frame wear. Again, even if it was just offered as a,"Stroked model" it is something I'd pay for.
I have another pistol ready to go, I'm just waiting a little longer for the second model, I already have it pre specced.
I think there is more and better to come from them!
Ordered a government march 27th. So it’s still going to be couple more months before I get it unfortunately. But I’m sure it will be worth the wait. But already thinking about ordering a commander.
I want another as well! lol
I want one of these so bad, but no I had to go have kids and a family instead 🤦♂🤦♂🤪🤪
Priorities, right...lol
Sell that family off and use the cash to get that platypus bro. Yolo! 😆
My friend is eyeing the 45 ACP any updates
It’s in the works we hear
I just want to know what holsters work with the PP
Tier one concealed MSP holster.
Also check out QVO tactical they may have a 2011 holster that will work.
Also tenicor 2011/1911 holsters work good
@@True_Patriotx thank you
@@ryanphillips8834 thank you
I have a QVO and Safariland 6354 RDSO FOR MY 5” platypus. Fits great
AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM!
