Ordered mine in March should be done soon cant wait. Totally agree about the colors, it’s crazy that people actually get wild colors on their guns. Thanks for the info

@Targetacquiredtv 3 күн бұрын

yeah ive got friends that do crazy colors on all their guns. and i get it, you want to make it special and unique to you, its just not for me. now i have had a couple guns cerakoted in camo patterns myself. neutral and darker colors i dont mind and in some cases i think look really good. i even know of a guy that got his platypus done in like a plum purple and black and it looks pretty cool honestly.

i got one and i dont have any glock mags either. i liked the price point for what you're getting and the mags work for the dirt cheap price

@Targetacquiredtv 5 күн бұрын

for sure its a great value for what youre getting. slides super smooth, its feature rich, triggers great, no MIM parts and that direct mount optic cut is everything... and the cheap mags help too lol

Great video, brother. I believe you can contact SA to see if they can do a re-fit for a bull barrel. SA just finished my build today. Hopefully I will have in my hands by next week depending on ship time. I ordered on March 21st when the wait times were 14-17 weeks. Took 1 day shy of 15 weeks to get ready to ship. I even ordered with an extra barrel, threaded, so I can suppress it. Likely took a few extra days to fit the barrel. To give idea of the price, it’s 5”, 2 colors total, prickle grip, raw bull barrel, funnel, ambi-safety, full rail, competition 2.5-3lb flat face trigger, RMR cut, NO IRONS so it has a totally clean top & a custom serial number. $2000 exactly + $380 for the extra black nitrite threaded barrel. Going to V8 port and copper PVD matte/flat finish the crowned raw barrel. Will post shipping wait time for those interested.

thank you! And wow, that sounds dope as hell!! that copper pvd looks so good with black

I looked at a Platypus a couple of months ago at the range, I didn't care for the trigger not a good reset and no overtravel adjustment that I could see. If you can find a Bul Armory SAS tac 5 it has one of the best triggers in that price range which is much better than a Staccato P. And the slide is smoother.

@Targetacquiredtv 2 күн бұрын

yeah that one you looked at might have had the duty trigger (4 - 4.5lbs). mine has the 3lb trigger and its as good as any of my others. i put it right up there with my hayes customs or my OA 2311. all have almost no take up, immediate wall, crisp break and immediate crisp reset. i had a bull tac sas ll lined up to trade for and guy backed out. one day ill get a bul for sure though.

Most who have to odd optic cuts for them due to them being available quick. Sane for the colors. Stealth has these available quick usually

@Targetacquiredtv 4 күн бұрын

that definitely makes sense!! the guy i spoke to with the rmrcc optic cut just said its good for keeping the slide profile slim. personally id rather wait for a gun i actually like the look of and can actually use the optic i want to on.

@@Targetacquiredtv I have a bull barrel 5” on order with their new grip grip texture. RMR cut. I have worked on a few of these that were bushing barrel. Wasn’t super impressed with them to be honest. The cerakote isn’t great and doesn’t hold up all that well. Mine will be ported (I cut my own ports) then DLC coated.

@Targetacquiredtv 3 күн бұрын

@@PnP-td1mt to be honest, thats the one complaint ive seen and heard on multiple occasions, is the finish wears off too easily. but for what youre getting and the price id say thats a minor inconvenience. i like everthing youre doing with yours though, that should end up being an amazing gun

The options on their website are delta point pro, hs407k, Acro, Rmrcc, SRO/RMR. I'm new to the optic game. You said don't go with a cut that supports just one optic. Do any of those cuts support multiple optics??

@Targetacquiredtv 6 күн бұрын

Yes ebery one of those cuts supports multiple optics other than the rmrcc. That's the only possible cut where you only have one option. Sro/rmr and ddp are most popular and have the most options. 407k is for smaller optics also known as the rmsc footprint
