@@BrianBCCassidy for what it's worth, I actually liked his video

Lol, well put

In my experience, the legendary Glock reliability claims have been painfully exaggerated. YMMV

​@@LEADitOUT but is it not a repeatable test that glocks will go further without care? the tolerances are more forgiving for adverse conditions such as excess sand or mud, same reason why the beretta beat the 1911 when they had side by side reliability testing during military testing, using many guns and hundreds of thousands of rounds not to say your personal experience is invalid, but this is just statistically proven

@@LEADitOUT I do agree that the 2011 platform is much easier to shoot and have follow up shots than any polymer fire striker on the market

@josephshields2959 though there is some merit to the usefulness of loose tolerances, I think people get carried away with the perceived conditions their "hard use" pistols are actually going to get exposed to. If you are going to an extreme climate that requires exception, choose accordingly, but more common is negligent care, in which I would also say, choose accordingly

@@ChronisBeanisIII Lmao 🤣

You will just confuse them with common sense. Maybe add some history, as how many weapons are not drop safe and how long have they been used? Did we see an epidemic of dropped weapons killing people?

Thank you for the support!

@ObijuanQuenobii That is a awesome to hear! This is actually a friend's gun so I'm not sure what Vulcans lead time is at the moment. Regardless, you are in for a treat

So good. No BS. Just cool stuff.

Charyn. It is one of the few guns that completely out classes the XC

It makes the paddle more accessible for locking back the slide. It becomes an issue with 2011s because their frames are wider in that section than a 1911, basically covering up the underside of the slide stop paddle.

@user-ed5jh3ff6u I'd be pretty disappointed if my new Atlas showed up with sub optimal slide to frame fit. Charyn is definitely worth the quest

@@Therapewtic The Apollos shoot nice. The difference over a stock Athena isn't as great as with the Vulcan ports, but it's still a nice bump up.

Yes 💯

@Enyalus87 I've shot an Apollo and though they shoot nice, the difference between an Apollo and an Athena isn't as much as the Vulcan ports provide on an Athena. With carry being a consideration, I'd look at porting a Nyx, or the Eos. In the next month or so I should be having a go with an Ignis ported Nyx. I'll try and record a short with how that stacks up

@venomgt7299 I've shot an Alien and while it was an interesting experience, I didn't love it. A bit of an awkward beast. The way the 2011 market is expending there are some increasingly compelling options for at least getting close to Atlas for considerably less

@LEADitOUT im about to buy a Walther PDP SF Match slightly under 2k. I think it should be pretty flat and accurate with that weight.

@@venomgt7299 the steel Walthers are definitely nice shooters

@Tavo0331 Thanks for bringing this up. Yes, Vulcan re did the DLC on the slide and barrel and it looks perfect. Same as factory. Vulcan also flush cut and crowned the barrel on this example

I'll just say it is closer than I like to admit. Darksaber is still number one for me, but it's looking like I am faster with the Vulcan Athena

@@LEADitOUT it's like picking between your favorite child, I get man. Thanks for the video

I haven't. I actually only recently became aware of them. Seems like an interesting option, the V10 ports certainly caught my attention. After Shot I will reach out to them and see if they have anything I can demo.

Thank you, that means a lot. I enjoy your content as well and always look forward to your next drop! Venom's and Raffertey's are always choice!

And worth every second of that wait. Enjoy!

@ajforever8251 great screen name, and 10 months really isn't bad at all.

@ChronisBeanisIII I have a friend with one and am working on borrowing it before too long for a review. May be a few months before i get it in hand though.

@ curious on your take vs the XC for uncompensated gun

@ChronisBeanisIII I prefer the XC. Compared to an XC the Vudoo only makes sense "to me" if you need an uncomp'd pistol for competition purposes, or you really want the metal grip and aren't interested in modding. I prefer the Vudoo to the ACW I have used, though I am curious how the Fowler V9 will compare.

It is on my short list. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who has one yet, but I am looking

@@blaiseeltine9516 I completely agree with that assessment. Two different approaches to busy design, one is very appealing, one just isn't
