They usually reply promptly when direct messaged. I am more interested in having a second ported barrel on hand, but that's just me. I only shoot IDPA and Steel/2 gun matches.

I believe a non-ported Apollo is an Athena 🧐

Exactly what I was thinking!

Hi Bryan. Today our custom shop is not open. That would be a very custom setup. Its doable and lots of the custom builders could do that.

athena v2 or what

If you are ok with carrying a gun with a 4.6 inch barrel it will work well for EDC

Yes

I've been shooting my Artemis in LO since LO became an option.

You can order any gun with a left handed grip. The grips are fits so this needs to be done at time of order.

My exact question. That would be the carry optics king.

@aguy3896 that's what I was thinking 🤔

I DMed on their site. Hope to hear back on the same question. I dont shoot USPSA LO so I really was curious if I could buy a second ported barrel for the Apollo.

We are looking at that as a option.

​@AtlasGunworks that would be great especially for us in California. Thank you guys

Most shooters with normal grip pressure will like the Athena's return to zero more that the Titan. Return to zero = grip pressure x ammo x gun (and recoil spring in gun)

You could but it’s honestly kinda big for an EDC.

I carry my Titan RDS and it's not bad. Yes it's heavier than polymer and longer barrel. I carry under a jacket during the winter with a very low profile OWB so it's really no biggie. When it gets hotter then it gets more difficult and I usually carry 4-5 o'clock behind the hip IWB. Appendix for my body type and weight is not a problem but its NOT comfortable, especially when driving. I either dismount the holster/gun when driving or end up moving it behind my hip anyway.

Artemis. It's gonna track flatter and have a quicker return

The staff is split. Adam shoots the 4.6 gun in 9mm with a medium grip. The guys with monster grip pressure and very light grip pressure like the Arty.

Chaos got retired in December 2023. They did a limited run of Chaos RDS before sunsetting. Check the channel for the video. Edit: correction below

Damn shame Adam doesn’t have a single true open/major gun in the lineup

My bad dude. You were asking about the open guns. It was the HYPERION that was retired. The Chaos open guns are only seen to come up as raffle guns. They did a fundraiser for 2A Rights in Vermont and raffled a full custom Chaos

Atlas said they were only building one chaos v2 in 2024 and it was for a raffle. Seems like an odd decision, but maybe they will be available next year.

I think it's probably not gonna be offered for awhile. Open guns are pricey to make and super niche. They require a lot more support/parts and generally you have to have deep pockets to use it to it's full potential in USPSA/IPSC open div. I can see why it's taken a backseat. With BUL making open guns at a fraction of everyone else it just seems like diminishing returns. Atlas has such a great lineup and it's hard enough to get one as is!

Nowhere. I was quoted a year if you order from Atlas directly. Cancelled and ordered from Portside Munitions. Them or Kovert are probably the way to go if you don't want to wait forever.

can buy used on 1911 addicts classifieds

@@joeyassyrianyeah a beat up Artemis with 1 mag for 6800.. No thanks.. Found a few new Artemis pistols for 7200.. the Apollo, NYX, and others in the 6k range (new) is what I’m after

@@jigglyjames29Kovert won’t respond to by emails. I have emailed them several times ready to buy what ever they had in stock.. nada.. I won’t pay that kind of money to wait a year. Sorry.. just not happening. I have the Watchtower Apache already and have already fitted a cheely E2 grip to it (my self). Had the grip and other parts that I re fitted PVD and DLC coated outside the industry. Took 13 days including shipping to coat the parts..

Who is better Portside vs Kovert?
