I’m sorry, I don’t care how cool the gun is I’m not rocking a Platypus.

Looks like the perfect thing to protect Barbie's Malibu Beach House.

It looks like you can customize each color if you scroll down....you dont have to have the Malibu Platypus....lol

The glock peeps are gunna hate this as it's degrading to perfection. Seems like the grip angle would need to be changed or just could've changed the feed ramp?

There’s plenty of room…just change the angle of the magazine well inside the grip.

There wouldn't have been wars if Glock was around too stop it before either started !

If there were no Glock 41 to be had, I would have a 1911.

Interesting and glad to see more 1911 DS / 2011 style guns.

This is what I'd get if I were to purchase one. Actually really like the customization options.

Wish it had an option for ambi safety though.

Between this and the 2311 that takes p320 mags the world of 2011 style guns is getting really interesting. Although the platypus lol I wish I was in that meeting when they were naming this gun. They are a venomous though, so there is that.

To bastardize Johnny Cash,

Well I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna buy him a 1911 or Cz 75! Anything but a Glock I still hate that gun!

Just kidding I am sure they are fine, just not for me.

Wow, that sounds really interesting! A 1911 that takes Glock mags - I'll have to check that out. The Stealth Arms Double-Stack 1911 Platypus has some innovative features. It's always exciting to see new developments in the firearms world.

Love that mid-way through the article they have a "also see" the Springfield Prodigy.

I waited for the ambi safety and holosun 507k options to be available before ordering one.
