    They are in fact OOS on Atlas site. 

    I may try to increase the detent depth on these PT safeties for now. 

    Still a little scared to DIY on this thing lol

    You will do fine! Measure sixteen times and cut once :)

    Have the same problem. Get the Atlas high ride safeties and Dremel the detent hole deeper. To the point where you have to use your opposite hand to make the safety engage. You'll never have an issue again lol

    Interesting solution. 

    Romeo3 Max vs XL?

    The halo may be dirt.  You can get a zillion-pack of tiny plastic Q-tips off Amazon (sold for eye-lining or something), and bend one to get in there and clean.

     

    Exactly right with the halo. Mine get that way and I clean them with a little foam window cleaner and a small q-tip. 

    DLC vs. Cerkote

    DLC applied to a high polished slide/frame can look quite striking. If you want it fancy you could also see if the builder has relationship with any laser engraving shops that would do something custom pre-DLC so you'd have something unique. 

    I love that look! High polish and DLC on top. 

    People getting rid of PT Honcho ?

    If I recall correctly, there was a thread on here where a Honcho owner was complaining because not only did he have to pay shipping both ways to send his broken gun back for repairs, but they wanted to charge him extra to test fire it after they fixed it.  That kinda stuff does not make for happy customers.

    Ugh 

    Akai still in business?

    I’d love you see gun guys get off Facebook. 
    I bet more than half of potential customers aren’t on Facebook. 
     

    I think you would be surprised. Just about everyone on this forum that I talk to on a regular basis is also on Facebook. I was shocked myself.

    Lots for sale on FB too although they may be the same people listing on here. I had one and it was meh/ok. Balance was weird and super heavy. The coating excuses and inaccurate lead time would make me never get one again. You had to run the locking block extremely wet and that caused oil to splash out constantly and the optic would be a mess after one stage. Huge turn off.

    They discontinued an absolute crap-load of models. I think it has to do with them moving to the Colt factory, from what I've heard.

    Yes, I read the same. A new Cmate would be outstanding. Isn’t the current Gen 10+ years old?

    Anybody have a slide sent to Nighthawk and cut for IOS optic plates? Looks sweet…

    So I found out;  cost is around $950 for the cut, one optic plate and a DLC slide refinish … AND a 4-6mo turnaround.

     

    I really dig the mechanics and look of the IOS system and was pretty dead set on getting the modification and was expecting to hear something in the $600 range. 
     

    Now I’m having second thoughts. That’s probably over a grand with shipping each way when a Chambers Custom RDSM sits low enough for a cowitness, costs $300 out the door, and takes less than a week. 

    Yikes, that is a chunk and a long wait. Tim Herron has gotten me into their stuff and quality is very good.
