Three-Way Comped 9mm Comparison: Sig P211 vs Platypus Comp vs XP Pro Comp

If you're shopping in the comped 9mm lane, you've probably noticed something fast: a lot of these setups promise the same end result, but they don't feel the same once you're actually running them. This comparison covers three that get talked about for good reason - the Sig P211, the Stealth Arms Platypus Comp, and the Fusion Firearms XP Pro Comp.

This isn't a spec-sheet flex. This is about what matters when you're actually shooting: how each one feels, how it tracks, what it rewards, and what it punishes.

How I approached the comparison

I focused on what shows up quickly when you shoot these side by side:

• Grip and control: how easy it is to get locked in and stay locked in
• Trigger behavior: how it supports consistency when you speed up
• Sight movement: whether the dot returns cleanly or wanders
• Consistency: how repeatable the experience is across strings
• Practical setup notes: magazines and anything that changes performance for better or worse

Sig P211

The P211 comes across as the most "finished" of the three - not in a marketing sense, but in the way everything feels like it belongs where it is. The balance and control feel natural, and the pistol doesn't demand a bunch of acclimation time to start getting good work out of it.

Where it shines is in how predictable it feels when you pick up the pace. It doesn't do anything weird. It doesn't feel like it needs you to shoot around it. It just lets you focus on the job: grip, press, track, repeat.

Who it fits: the shooter who wants a performance setup that doesn't feel like a science experiment.

Stealth Arms Platypus Comp

The Platypus Comp is the "personality" pistol in this lineup - in a good way. It feels quick in the hands, and it responds well when you drive it with intent. The comp does its part, but what really stands out is how fast it feels to transition and get back into the sight picture.

The other big story here is the magazine ecosystem. If you already own stacks of Glock mags, the Platypus can slide into your life with less friction than most double-stack 1911-style options. That's not a small thing if you actually shoot a lot and don't want your wallet set on fire buying a whole new pile of mags.

Who it fits: someone who wants strong performance but also wants the "easy button" on magazines.

Fusion Firearms XP Pro Comp

The XP Pro Comp feels like the "custom-flavored" entry here. When everything is working as intended, it runs right in the same conversation as the other two in terms of controllability and speed potential.

The honest note is that I did have a small cluster of malfunctions during testing - specifically when running 124-grain ammo with a magazine extension setup. After checking the usual variables, it tracked back to the extension rather than the pistol itself. With a standard magazine setup and with 115-grain, it didn't show the same issue.

That's not me making excuses - it's just the reality of performance setups: sometimes the "one extra part" is the thing that causes the headaches. The takeaway is simple: the XP Pro Comp is capable, but it seems less tolerant of certain magazine add-ons than the other two.

Who it fits: someone who likes the idea of a more tailored setup and doesn't mind paying attention to what parts they pair with it.

What matters most: choosing the right one

Here's the clean way to think about these three:

• Most straightforward experience: P211
• Best if you already live on Glock mags: Platypus Comp
• Strong upside, but more sensitive to setup choices: XP Pro Comp

None of these are "bad." They just have different personalities and different tolerance levels for changes around the edges.

Final take

If you want the least drama and the most "just go shoot" experience, the P211 is the safe pick.

If you want performance and you like the practicality of Glock-mag compatibility, the Platypus Comp makes a ton of sense.

If you want a more custom-leaning option and you're willing to keep your magazine setup consistent, the XP Pro Comp belongs in the conversation - just don't judge it based on an extension that decides to act up.
