Atlas is on my list of guns to buy. Played with an Erebus and couldn't believe how smooth the action was. It was like the slide was rolling on ball bearings. Virtually frictionless. |

I'm an HK guy through and through but being exposed to the 2011 world is an eye opener. I reached out to an FFL just to ask some questions and he said a buyer for an Athena fell through, went in the next day and did the deed lol. For better or worse.. I always just buy once cry once.. Going to be zeroing with some 124gr Syntech Match tomorrow. |

It’s lighter than atlas ares which is their aluminum frame and grip “carry” gun. Other than that you have one of the best! |

After 1.5 years another custom from Nighthawk arrived last night. At first they told me no but I heard Bob could make anything happen so I reached out to him and he did----the threaded bull barrel. Normally though they offer both styles of barrel if you want threaded you get a bushing barrel. I wanted this to run as a dedicated suppressor host. I've only handled nitrided Nighthawks before so this is my first experience with their DLC which was pretty pricey.

I prefer bull barrels--all my 2011s have them.
Also, with the bull barrel I can also put an EZ LOK on it and still disassemble the gun without removing the EZ Lok which I like to torque to 20 ft/lbs and leave. They didn't have any "reason" for not doing it except they don't have an appropriate barrel made in house. They bought this blank from Jarvis. |

I've had them cut a 226 and DW 1911 for an optic and I'm about to send them a Shadow 2 slide. The grip texture is damn near perfect. Just enough to grab, but not bad enough to where it hurts (I might want it slightly more aggressive, but that's what I like). I put about 350 rounds through it and it was fantastic. Ran it next to my friend's XL and this is definitely better. Has a better balance and the recoil is much better (the XL feels snappy when the slide returns to battery). Also ran it next to his CZ Chechmate and I feel that they both had their pros and cons (but I'm probably biased lol). I definitely need to shoot an Atlas now... |

Did staccato update their rear sight mounting method?
Older plates had dovetails, these new ones appear to have something else. What are they using? |

Interested to see what the new C model is which I might pick up. View Quote Do you have any pics from the rear of the slide to show the overhang with the acro? It appears to hang over pretty good. |

View Quote They have 2 set screws and a raised block on the plate with little cones milled into each side. The set screws are point and set in the cones milled into the raised block. They allow you to easily center your rear sight, just gotta put threadlocker on them. Source: I did this last night on my Staccato P. |

Source: I did this last night on my Staccato P. View Quote Thank you! Thats really slick, and way better than a plate in a dovetail. If I ever had to make adjustments, I wouldn't trust the original in my sight press, and it was a bitch securing the plate in my vise to drift the one rear sight I got on a plate from them that wasn't centered. |
