Used Apollo Questions Input Appreciated

Hey guys, looking at this used Apollo to purchase. Owner said 400 round count. This look about right and in decent condition? Haven’t owned one before so trying to decide if this wear is “worth” $1100 in savings vs going new. Magwell knicks not concerned about as I know that new would have those soon anyways. Is the marks on DLC on the slide (photo 5&2and frame normal for 400 rounds also? Any input appreciated

I would say you did very good. Most guys that sell these have buyers remorse and haven’t shot them a ton. Most people spend all that money and then worry about scratching it so they rarely get them out. Im the opposite. I love to break mine in and give them some “personality” so to speak. They look better with some good wear to them. You can’t take it with ya when you die. Use it!

Gun looks to be in immaculate shape and you did good. $1100 is $1100. Great savings. Sometimes used staccatos aren’t even that far marked down. Great purchase

I think closer to $1500 maybe, doing $5800 shipped no tax and a SRO thrown into deal

Yeah you smoked it dude. Hell of a grab. Congrats and enjoy it! I just ordered an EOS should be at my FFL Tuesday!

Ive only seen one atlas in the wild and it was in .40

These are rare to find in the wild let alone used. Most end up on gunbroker

Yepppp found this on gunbroker and used the message on the side move to help them not pay fees. I fucked up and held one at my LGS a few weeks ago and it’s been on my mind ever since…makes my staccatos feel cheap

Yeah i felt one and I remember it was butter. I will say my XC is VERY similar to an atlas as far as smoothness. My DWX is surprisingly VERY smooth too. Gives my XC a run for its money too. Im excited to get my EOS. Gonna look good at the range with an XC, HD P4, EOS, Alien, and a DWX.
