I remember a couple years ago they announced they'd be dropping new calibers for the Platypus. I spent hours customizing one and waiting for the day they dropped. I wanted it in .357 Sig because I'm a special snowflake faggot like that. After a year of checking in every couple of months, I say "fuck it" and stop. Another year and a half goes by, and today, I suddenly remember
>oh yeah! I bet they've released the new calibers by now! Surely!
>load up website
>see this

Bro, why the FUCK would they bait people with the promise of other calibers, keep teasing with "soon", then put this shit up? They could come out with them tomorrow and I wouldn't buy them out of spite. FUCK Stealth Arms.

I hope they release it tomorrow. You'll end it buying it anyways

Based stealth arms. OP is a fag

Shalom! I also love lying to potential customers and leading them on with promises you never had any intention of keeping!

God modern gun "designers" are actually fucking hopeless

It's the ACR scandal all over again. LOL

>I wanted it in .357 Sig
Even when they eventually do drop Platys in new calibers, I kind of doubt .357 Sig is going to be one of the options. .357 Sig is a niche cartridge, it doesn't really behoove any manufacturer to bother with it.

>>65449463
They said it would be one of them at the 2024 Shot Show. It was supposed to be .45, 10mm, .357 Sig, maybe another as well. These whores have sold nothing by 9mm 2011's since then. I'm so sick of every fucking 2011 maker doing the same shit.

They've said since 2025 that they have no timeline for it coming out.

>It was supposed to be .45, 10mm, .357 Sig, maybe another as well.
Yeah, when I made that last post, I was thinking you could probably expect .45 and 10. If you saw/read them saying .357 Sig, I don't doubt you, but I DO doubt that it will ever actually happen, lol.
>>
>>65449476
The platypus can never be in .45 or 10mm, the aluminum frame can’t take it and will have a dramatically shorter lifespan than 9mm. .40 S&W might even be pushing it.

1911s were designed around steel frames, the impact surfaces in the action are based around impacting into steel.

I never kept track of any forum stuff, I just sat and waited as patiently as I could, got pissed, then turned to making myself forget so the next time I remembered, enough time should've passed. This

was all I was going off of. Oh well, fuck it. I like my M9A4 anyway.
>>65449501
Couldn't they just make the frame steel and bump the price up X amount of dollars?

even if they made the frame steel the magwell is still the wrong size and would have to be changed for 10mm or 45.
at that point its a new design not a conversion.

A combination of the stealth arms team shooting those other calibers and injuring their bitch hands and them realising that they don't have to put anymore work into designing guns and can just sell a 9mm with le custom cerakote forever.
>>65449501
They could just make steel rail inserts like some builders do and that solves most of the issues with aluminum frames. Still, way more work than they'd be willing to do.
>>
>>65450194
While I agree with the meme, the point is leading me on with the hope of new calibers for 2 fucking years.
