Fusion Firearms XP Pro: The Budget-Friendly Workhorse
Price: $1,199
The Fusion Firearms XP Pro is the most affordable in this comparison, but it still packs a punch.
- 4-inch Clark/Para ramped bull barrel
- Optics-ready out of the box (includes RMR and RMSc plates)
- Tennifer-finished steel frame with a hard chrome overcoat
- Aluminum grip with chainlink texture
- 3.5-4 lb milled steel trigger
- Glock 17 magazine compatibility (ships with two 17-round mags)
Despite having an aluminum grip, the XP Pro is the heaviest due to its steel frame and robust build.
One major advantage? The fully flared magwell makes reloads smoother—great for competition or defensive use.
## Stealth Arms Platypus: The Most Customizable 2011
Price: Starts at $1,400 | As configured: $1,975
The Stealth Arms Platypus is the most customizable option, allowing you to tailor the design to your liking.
- 4.25-inch match-grade 416R stainless steel barrel
- 7075-T6 aluminum frame (lightest of the three)
- Aggressive grip texture for maximum control
- Trigger pull weight set by the buyer at purchase
- Uses Glock 17 magazines
Its lighter weight and aggressive grip make it an ideal performance-focused pistol. Additionally, the customizable trigger pull could be a key advantage in rapid-fire situations where split times and recoil control matter.
Staccato HD P4: The Premium Champion
Price: $2,699
The Staccato HD P4 is the priciest option in this lineup, but it comes with serious refinements.
- 4-inch DLC-coated bull barrel
- Billet-machined 4140 steel frame
- Uses Glock-pattern Mec-Gar magazines (ships with three 18-round mags)
- Flat-wire recoil system for reduced recoil and smoother cycling
- No grip safety, allowing for faster engagement
- Series 80-style firing pin block for added safety
One letdown? The P4 doesn’t come with optics plates, which is surprising at this price point. However, its ergonomic design and build quality make it a solid choice for duty use or competition shooting.
Grip & Ergonomics
Each pistol offers a unique grip experience:
- XP Pro – Comfortable aluminum grip, but could use more texture.
- Platypus – The most aggressive grip, perfect for high-pressure situations.
- P4 – Balanced grip with finger ledges, making it the most ergonomic overall.
Trigger Comparison
- Platypus – Fully customizable by the buyer.
- XP Pro – 3.5-4 lb crisp trigger (solid and reliable).
- P4 – 4-4.5 lb trigger, slightly heavier due to the Series 80-style firing pin block, though the take-up isn’t too noticeable.
Performance Testing at the Range
To find out how these pistols perform, I put them through:
- Accuracy tests – Measuring group sizes for precision shooting
- Timed sets – Evaluating split times and transition speeds
- Rapid-fire drills – Testing recoil control and return to zero
And the Winner Is…
Going into this, I expected the Platypus to win—I’ve had it the longest and I’m the most familiar with it. But in the end…
The Staccato P4 came out on top.
It performed the best in accuracy and control, making it the most consistent performer. However, the differences between these three were inches and tenths of a second—so no matter which one you own, you won’t be disappointed.
But is the P4 worth nearly 2.5x the price of the XP Pro? That’s up to you. You could literally buy an XP for one hand and a Platypus for the other for the cost of the Staccato HD P4!
Final Thoughts – Which One Would You Pick?
- XP Pro – Best budget option with solid features.
- Platypus – Most customizable with the best grip.
- P4 – Premium performance and the most refined shooter.
