Has anyone seen or shot the Stealtharms Platypus? It is a 1911 that takes Glock mags and you can custom build it on their site. I like everything about it except the Platypus name. I do wish they could figure out a way to bobtail it.

Curious how the grip width will be. Interesting handgun and their website is pretty slick on the config.

I never heard of them, but just played on their website. A fully custom one was $1660. Not bad...if the quality is there to match.

Snip... I do wish they could figure out a way to bobtail it. Their website shows a bobtail in the photos and lists it as an option on the 80% Frame. So go ahead get it You know you want too....

OTOH, Springfield is building a double stack that appears to have the modular grip frame like the SV's, STI's, etc. They also use those mags. If I was again in the market again for something of that nature I'd have to look at it as well.

I don't believe the Springfield Prodigy uses Glock mags. I just checked and their website does show a metal mag that doesn't look anything like a standard Glock mag

the Springfield uses Glock mags? I didn't know that Maybe poorly, but tried to say the Springfield double stack uses SV, STI type mags. Oops, I guess the news to me was another wide body 1911 of a slightly different nature. And the Glock mag part flew right over my head.

Gotta wonder WITH Glock mags? There are other choices, thin steel mags. Not ones with 1/8" sides in an application where mag size is an issue already.
