GOOD VIDEO. I own an XC as a duty gun and ive ordered a 5" platypus after shooting a buddys gun. I was impressed with the platypus enough to order within the week. Cant wait to get mine. Looking at may ish. Cheap mags are just a plus. The gun shot very well.
Thanks! Awesome. Of course, the XC is a great gun but the Platypus is just a fun one to shoot. I do love a DS 1911 /2011 but you just don't have the typical issues with the Plat like you do with the 1911/2011. It is mostly because of the reliable magazines.
Ordered my Plat two weeks ago and now have to wait 15-18 more weeks. I hope they can keep up with the demand without sacrificing quality or attention to detail. Mine was right around the $1900 mark which seems like a bargain for what you get, especially with several G17 mags already lying around…..
You are correct. It is a lot of value. With what I have experienced and read about this company, I don't think you will need to worry about sacrificing quality. When I originally ordered mine, I was told the 12-16 week wait but ended up getting mine a couple of weeks early. Probably due to the fact that mine was pretty "plain" and didn't have a bunch of "wild" color combos. I think you will be pleased.
I have both. The platy is sweet. But it is no way comparable to the XC…. In my opinion. I don’t compete, from a handicap persons point of view. The skid is harder to rack than the XC, or the C2. I’m way happy I got it. It does out perform my glocks….. thank goodness lol lol
Ha. I know. I actually have a friend that is waiting to see how mine holds up and if it continues to impress, he is going to get the Government model. To be honest, since it has more size, I think it will probably shoot flatter than the commander version. It just depends on your purpose of the gun.

Awesome review! Put my order in last week, can’t wait for the platypus to come in! 😊
Thank you! You are not going to be disappointed.

They are both great in their own way. For the money, still hard to find a better gun than the Plat.
You should get the government platypus and do a comparison. So I can finally decide on which to get for myself!

Great review. What video setup are you using?
Thanks. Probably not the best set up. It is just a Go Pro Hero 11 Black. I have just been putting it on a hat but may try a chest rig.
