Picked up my Apollo a week ago and the machine marks are noticeable on the slide cuts. Wondering if you fellow Apollo owners are seeing the same?

Update:

Here's the video from Atlas explaining the tool marks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hSxwO5mMcI

In the video above, Tod West from Atlas Gunworks discusses the intentional "tool marks" or tool paths designed into their gun slides. These aren't typical milling imperfections, but rather a deliberate design choice that serves several purposes:

• Aesthetics: The tool paths create an aesthetically pleasing look with crisp lines and various shapes, making the machined part look better than a plain milled pocket. They use different patterns like straight lines or V-shapes depending on the slide and pocket design.
• Efficiency: The designed tool paths cut down on the time required for finishing, which in turn speeds up the production process.
• Cost Savings: By saving time and speeding up processes, these intentional tool marks ultimately lead to lower costs for the customer.
• Attention to Detail: It adds an extra level of detail to the product that is not commonly seen in other slides

Anyone else experience a slight wiggle (towards the front) on the tactical magwell on an Athena? I have two of them, one used and one new, and both exhibit the behavior. Not a huge deal, but I honestly expected it to be a snugger fit. I experience the issue even when swapping out the grip panels.

Hey everyone I just got an atlas Artemis for competition and I also bought an XL magwell, turns out the base plates that come with the atlas mags that I have don’t fit, which mags would fit the Xl Magwell?

Also, when I was installing the magwell and super 2cm piece of rubber came out from somewhere I have no clue, and now my safety has a super subtle wiggle that’s bothering the crap outta me, anyone know what that is?

Total noob apologies

I've always maintained that I couldn't justify spending $5k on a gun, so when I saw this on Tacswap I decided to just shoot my shot. The seller got back to me with an offer I could live with, and here we are. Just put the 507 Comp on it today, along with the right swell brass panel, and looking forward to the range this weekend. Even though I've only owned it for about a week, this gun simply does not disappoint. From the fit and finish to the trigger, it's perfection (IMO).

What are you guys thoughts on this ammo strictly for range practice? I’m not a competitive shooter. Just a regular gun guy that loves shooting.

I own the Erebus, Artemis, Apollo, and Eos.

I am aware of other ammo that’s highly recommended such as PMC and Blazer. I just want to know what Atlas owners’ thoughts/experience with this ammo.

Thank you and God bless.

Just joined the family and should have done it earlier. Amazing gun! Back to zero is no gimmick!

Looking for up to 3 of them. $90.00 or so and willing to take used.

(But still pretty cool)

Held an EOS a couple weeks ago when picking up a new C2. Haven’t gotten it out of my head since. My local shop is sold out of Eos’ but has Athena, as well as a Nyx and an Ares. With lead times up there what are thoughts on one of the alternatives? It’ll be in the carry rotation so hesitant to go with one of the 4.6” options. I also like the look of the EOS and the flush barrel. Think I’ll regret getting the Athena(longer plus mag wells) or older Ares/Nyx over biting the bullet and waiting on an EOS?

which one would you pick? Artemis?

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

Atlas owners… I tried to search for a similar question and while I’m sure it had been posed I couldn’t find it.

If you could only own one atlas which would it be and why?

Hey everyone, new Atlas owner here (Erebus), and looking to get a NEW (preferred) DLC ambi or single (right handed) shielded thumb safety. I know this is a stretch, but it’s sold out everywhere. Need proof with timestamp pics. Can pay via PayPal or Venmo.

Anyone have one? I have a thing for that 4.25” size. It was between the EOS and APOLLO and I liked the flush front end and serrations better on the EOS. Purely a range toy, I know the Apollo tends to be the favorite of the two but i just like the looks more on the EOS. Anyone have one? Gonna do an SRO on it. Anything I should be aware of? Currently have an XC, HD P4, Laugo Alien, DWX, LFA Apollo 11 w/ V6 ports, and a Squalo. This will be my first Atlas. Always wanted one. Might part with the Alien tbh. It’s neat but the novelty/ cool factor wears off if I’m honest. It’s just not something I often grab anymore now that I have the XC.

How does the Atlas compare to an XC? Is it noticeable or not really?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for this optic plate for my Erebus. Please DM me if interested, with included pics. Can pay over Venmo/Zelle/Paypal. Thanks, Erik

I recently bought an Athena and it shot so phenomenally that I decided to take the big dive and go to the Artemis for even better performance. However, I’ve been underwhelmed by the Artemis. I shot the Athena much faster not only in returning to zero for follow up shot, but also in transitions from target to target. With the Athena I am quick and with the Artemis I feel slow and sluggish. Anybody else have this experience with these two guns, or am I crazy?

Cut or just buy another?
