2011s

[Azrckcrawler]

Getting into the 2011s. Looking for other options besides staccato. Since it’s such an investment I know the hands on experience is limited.

Anyone have experience with the Vudoo priest, stealth arms platypus or the masterpiece arms hybrid ?
Thx

I bought a Gen 1 Stealth Arms Platypus for my wife and would not put it in the same class as a Staccato. The Platypus isn't a 2011 in that it is a 2 piece construction, aluminum lower and steel upper. I view it more as a custom double stack 9mm patterned after a 1911. The customization is why you would buy a Platypus. For a reasonable amount of money you can pick the pistol colors, length, slide style, barrel style, optics cut, ect. The best part is the gun is a great shooter. We picked the 3.5lb trigger in our commander length slide and it is an enjoyable gun to shoot. We run $10 KCI Glock mags in it and have never had a stoppage. I would buy another one and have been tempted with their Gen 2 grip texture, RMR slide cut and bull barrel options. That said, I am still looking for a 2011 to add to my collection. Wanting to shoot a Jacob Grey that my Co-work has.

I actually bought a platypus with the new prickle grip awhile back and honestly think it’s a POS. The optics cut was super loose. The fitment was ok, it’s actually kinda snappy. It just felt cheap to me and shot ok.

I grabbed a vudoo priest and so far I’m just stunned as it’s the tightest smoothest pistol I’ve ever felt.

After I held and fired a Platypus, I was very disappointed. I’ve shot Rock River pistols that had better fit and finish. I’d buy a Tisas 2011 before I’d buy a Platypus.

It's easier to ask members her, so where are the local stores that you have seen the TISAS 2011?
Thanks

Not local, but great price.
