Stealth Arms Platypus vs Staccato P - On the table/At the Range
(I'm not an expert. Don't claim to be an expert. Just a guy who enjoys guns & shooting.)
Both -
SAO (Single Action only)
Curved trigger
Aluminum frame
Grip safety
Thumb safety
Holosun 507C ACSS in green
Threaded barrels
Streamlight TLR1 HL
Platypus -
Weight - 37.5oz w/ empty Glock 17 mag and +5 poly extension
Trigger pull = 3.5 lbs
1 piece aluminium frame
Threaded Bull barrel 4.75" - 1/2 x 28 threads
Glock 17 magazines
Staccato C -
Weight 40oz w/ empty 20 round Staccato magazine
Trigger pull = 4.5 lbs
2 piece grip(poly)/frame(aluminum)
Threaded Bull barrel 4.875" - 1/2 x 28 threads
2011/1911 DS magazines
Bottom line conclusions - I think I shoot both of these about the same. The plus on the Platypus is the admission savings, Glock 17 magazines, and the endless options of color/feature options. Negative on the Staccato is basically higher admission and magazines are expensive and more fragile (though I have had no problems in the way I run mine).
The shooting difference is the Staccato is a little more "flat" shooting. Less muzzle rise. The Platypus does has a little more muzzle flip, but it is predictable and very easy to manage.
While I love the trigger on the Platypus, I find - on occasion, I get a slight pre-mature discharge with the 3.5 lbs trigger. You can see on some of the targets - especially the last one - this occurred on the head shot flyers. Not terrible - but this is the lightest trigger I own. This may be an issue with me switching back and forth between firearms (different range sessions)
If I had to choose one between these 2, I'd go with the Platypus for my current purposes and the price. However, if it was for a duty or "going to war" situation, I'd probably go with the Staccato P.
Targets labeled.
Staccato was shooting left at 21ft - adjusted the dot a little too far right for 30ft target - then brought it back slightly for the 45ft and after.
(I really noticed my astigmatism affecting the chevron at 45ft.)
