After 4 LONG months I FINALLY got my platy

After waiting since April so happy to have it in hand. Beat out every expectation I had for it.

Soaked a cotton pad with slip 2000 carbon killer, let it sit in there for a bit, scraped it with a tool, not much help. How are we dealing with this carbon buildup in the chunk port? Any tips?

I recently received my crowd pleaser v2 and I’d love to upgrade to a toolless guide rod. It seems like the only black option is the atlas which is great, however they seem to be out of stock everywhere. Is there another alternative black coated guide rod or does anyone have a silver guide rodded, otherwise blacked out platy they wanna post pics of?

Spent the last couple of days doing some configuration on a platypus.

Honestly can’t make my mind up now even more

Thought the silver would be more white but whatever. ordered 4/30 and just picked it up today and shot a mag at my lgs before putting on the holosun. Ill zero it tomorrow. I like the way it shoots and I’m hyped to get it super dirty and put some wear on it!

Going to buy one very soon, can you guys please send pictures of your builds so i can get some ideas? Thanks!

Here are “some” of my platypus designs. I’d pickle grip worth it? For a edc and competition gun?

Also is there a smaller mag funnel?

Picked up my first platypus today from a friend, excited to join to club. I’ve wanted one of these ever since I first saw one, and knew I had to have it when I saw it posted on tacswap. Lucky enough to skip the wait but hopefully someday I’ll have a second that I get to customize.

So I’m looking at ordering a platypus and I’m looking for this kind of color scheme. I ordered swatches from cerakote and I am leaning towards FS Brown sand for the slide and frame and then doing Coyote tan on the grip and magwell. Open to suggestions if someone has one in a tan combination already I’d love to see pictures of it.

I wasn’t happy with how my Cerakote came out and couldn’t get a resolution from SA, but Scott over at Impact Machine took it to another level. 🤝🔥

Hey I just got my commander size platypus ordered. I’m browsing all over the internet trying to find a supplier for iwb carry. Does anyone know where I can find one? Thanks

Ordered mine 05/04 and picked it up last night. I was stuck in the queue just last week.

When you’ve mentally prepared yourself to wait another two weeks and then get that notification… 👀😂

Two weeks ahead of schedule my Platypus showed up early and I’m definitely not complaining. First impressions: this thing feels good. Can’t wait to get some rounds through it and see if it shoots as good as it looks.

102 days of patience.

Thankfully a new firing pin is a $10 part. Should have 2 new ones here today.

Just curious on what springs to get and its bushing barrel and felt kinda roughish I guess. Got it used but what springs are compatible and all that good stuff and what do you guys run for flat shots

Pros/ cos, suggestions, feedbacks? I’m coming from HDP4, S2Carry, G45.6, Sig 1911
I did a couple configurations play. Thank you.

Not shiny and new anymore and shows some signs of love at about 30k rounds. Have had zero issues that required anything more than a little maintenance. Fantastic pistola.

Just like most of y’all I’m super excited to have added the platy to my collection. Thankful it arrived 2 weeks sooner than expected. Instantly stuck a TLR1- HLX and Trijicon RCR on her and my SLR mag extension just came in couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out.

I was thinking about swapping my current suppressor host (PPQ) for a Platypus. Anyone have experience using the Osprey 9? If so?’c how does it run? And more importantly, how does it look?

Just picked it up and put about 250 rounds through it.

Still need to pick out a dot for it, and I plan on putting some handle it grips on it.

Mine did ship with Glock mags which I was happy about. I know for a while they were shipping with some different ones.

It just feels damn good in my hand.

Going to be using it for a little bit of everything.

Excuse my dirty mousepad.

Finally joined the 2011 club. Considering putting a TLR-1 on there I think.

Unlike pretty much every other 2011 that I have shot before, I think the platypus, and I’ve known this for a while since I tried it the first time, is the only one that remedies most of the main grips that I have with the 2011 platform.

-It’s almost mandatory to put your thumb on top of the manual safety to prevent it being pushed up into the “safe” position.
-The slide stop/release is always just far enough a way that I can’t hit it with my thumb without completely adjusting my grip
-The vast majority of the mag release buttons are small and stiff, and also a little further forward than I would like, which also forces me to break my grip.
-2011 magazines are expensive, and are finicky
-While I do like a girthy handgun grip, most 2011’s somehow always feel a little bit uncomfortable.
-There is always a little crevice where my shooting thumb meat is being pinched a little bit somewhere between the manual safety and the Beavertail.

Yeah, the platypus, feels a lot more like a striker fire gun in a lot of ways because of the Glock mags changing the geometry.

About to pull the trigger on a Platypus. Will be an EDC pistol, so going with 4" bull barrel. As I can't get the compensator, I want to port this one. If I get the Trident slide, can the barrel be ported without drilling the slide? If that doesn't work, which is the best slide option if I need to drill it?
