What was the ammo and was the ammo the exact same in both guns for this comparison? I know to get max performance out of the Erebus we really need to run hand loads with slower burning powders. Great video man.

I run the nemesis and primarily shoot steel challenge, it’s also a really fun gun for shooting at the range. Doubles are quicker than what I can manage with other guns. And it has many rounds through it yet feels brand new. I definitely admit that I’m attracted to the idea of an Apollo and I do think it would point and transition very nicely.

micropores! similar to a parkerized phosphate coating.. it soaks up the oil to create the P&O protection. Parkerizing is easier to do less high tech just a chemical bath of phosphoric acid and has the GI look of WW2. I love all the gun finishes and technology. color case hardening is beautiful. so is a blue on a mirror polished surface. people who say don't oil a Glock slide are just wrong. Tenifer was the original Glock finish a nitrocarburizing process. DLC is a very cool high tech finish. experts needed. On a side note I'm not sure you can parkerize stainless steels as they are resistant to reactions.

I think the problem is that you're a gunsmith so maybe you get a lot of people who use grease incorrectly and it's leading you to believe that is the same experience as everyone. I think it is easy to over apply grease but most systems like 1911s will push the excess out but in some cases if you let a lot of it build up into the dust cover area and such, you can create a rather sluggish system. I've used grease on everything for the past 3 decades and always find it worked better than oil. Just a small dab on all the proper friction points and it'll work like a charm.

So..Left spring for trigger weight adjustment. Center spring for travel/reset and 3rd is for safety. Got it! Thanks.

Would love to send my EOS for silver PVD when it’s ready 😎

How does the color of the new silver pvd finish compare to the color of the silver thumb safeties and thumb rest slide stops?

You mentioned that the Titan tracks different than an Athena and you seemed to infer it was because of the extra length. Can you elaborate on this a bit more and educate me please? Thank you.

Should be able to shoot my Ares 4.25 before the end of the year....and I cannot WAIT for my Athena!!!! Thanks Mr. Nilson for taking my money!!!! LOL (WORTH EVERY PENNY)

How do you get the right side to not have a little bit of wiggle in it?

Why carry guns doesn't have the silver pvd.. it make me question the durability of the coating... Will this have alot of hoslter wear?

This industry knowledge is awesome. What a great series.

Thank you for sharing just picked up my first Atlas Athena!

I can’t fit 17 rounds in your 126mm mags for the life of me. What do I need to do. I’ve let it sit completely full for 2 weeks and it’s not getting any easier to load. My staccato mags work perfectly.

You are the best and out of my price range!

What makes the staccato magazine springs trash?

Don’t those Staccato magazines cost like bucoup dollares? And the springs need to be replaced? And the base pads need to be replaced? Kidding aside, I really do appreciate videos like this that explain it all, but sheez-OH crikey that’s pricey.

My man Adam, what's up man... Nice content... 😎

Great company. I currently own 3 of your pistols. Randy took care of my Nemesis quickly when I had an issue. Buying another soon.

Are the DLC black a better coating than the silver PVD?

I have an erebus in my shopping cart on the website and I’m just trying to find one thing wrong with it. It worries me that no one is saying anything negative about it. Nothing is so perfect that it doesn’t have something wrong with it and I just want to know what it is. I chose it over the sand viper seeing as there’s an overwhelming number of people that say it’s better than the sand viper. It’s price is built on nothing but quality instead of raising the price because it’s a John wick gun. That alone shows that the viper is just a little bit less in overall quality than the Erebus. Does anyone have one and have something about it that they don’t like?

Would this be feasible on a colt series 80 government model?

Great video if I could see something.

Can you swap a non ported barrel in an Apollo to run in LO and have the best of both worlds?

As the armorer who trained me 36 years ago said of 1911 fitment. "Right fit, not tight fit. Its all about the slide and barrel returning to the exact same place in battery. A rimy amount of "Wiggle" between the drame and slide is ok, not excessive, but some. As long as solid lokup is acheived , the gun will be mechanically accurate.

Am i the only who saw that fact that those ESP Guns look exactly like Unported Apollo's ???

Did I hear that correctly there’s gonna be a new grip after the alpha?

A rocket ship 😆 alright

I did my retired Leo qualifications today with my new Apollo. Scored perfect but the retention shooting at the 1 yard line she let me know. 😅

Great explanation!

Hello again Adam, Atlas has some interesting history bruh as always I find your content intriguing... Good job. Oh, would be nice if you could reply to some of the comments, it does matter in a positive way to most..! But some of us will continue to spend $6,000 to $9,000 on your pistols... 😎

I really respect you guys as a company. These videos are great keep them coming

when is black friday sneak peaks 👀

Hey! Adam. Thanks for the Apollo, it's Insane!!

Are these rated for 9mm Major?

I love everyone questions this professional armor. Gtfoh 😂

Thank you for your videos. This is the only video that clearly illustrates how the thumb safety works in connection with the sear.

Can’t wait to get my Erebus from Portside.

Sweet looking handguns. Shoutout to my good friend, Jared

Do you have a video that show all the difference between thumb safety?

The mag release button works great!

When we get a new gov't in Canada I'll be calling

I did not know that the Artemis sight block was threaded on. I always just assumed it was a single piece of steel like the staccato XC.

I gotta say I am pleasantly surprised. I currently own an athena and a chaos v2, looking to buy a third.

I absolutely love my Atlas and will be on the lookout for the new rigs!

Looks great! good luck explaining to people that outside processes are not within your control. 🤪

GORGEOUS! I love all 4 of my Atlas guns--can't wait to get my Apollo, and may do it in silver. I've shot over 10,000 rounds in my Nemesis and Artemis, and NEVER had any malfunctions. As the Honest Outlaw says, the "Best guns in the world"!

Shop tour !! ?

Blocks in black look better imo. If one wants all silver get the ported barrel and slide imo.

Lemme get one for testing purposes 🥺🥺🥹
