Im an open shooter and I do double muff, personally I used Peltor Sport Tactical 300s with the gels cup. I have been very happy with them so far. The dynamic sound suppression is very nice for shooting both indoor and outdoor. You can get the muffs and the gel cups for under $150, for the price they are hard to beat.

How well does the atlas chaos balance with the steel grip ? Is it neutral , hand heavy or nose heavy ? Thanks for any details
The gun balances very well. It is a heavier gun than any other open gun I have shot. But it feels great!

I'm really tempted because my edge has a polymer grip and I'd really like the extra weight. Only thing is I have Dawson basepads which apparently don't work with the magwell. Don't really want to shell out more money for tti pads.
You can look at a steel main spring housing. That will give you about 2 more oz. but the Limcat brass magwell with the house will give you about 10 oz. that would be great for polymer grip guns!

Looks like limcat has a brass version of the magwell that weighs 7.8 ounces.

Seems to be the heaviest magwell readily available right now.
Yeah the just came out. I have a Atlas Chaos and went with the aluminum one because 8 more oz on a Chaos I’m afraid would make it to heavy.

I have had good luck with MBX mags. Gen 2 STI mags with grams guts I'm still having problems with. They keep nose diving into the feed ramp. I have followed Atlas' videos to tune them but I continue to have problems. Maybe its my gun, Im not sure.

I bought a lightly used CK 9mm open gun from a forum member . The original owner said it ran very well. Now on a couple of different posts he is trashing CK because he said it never ran right. I have run 8 different bullets and 3 different powders thru it. I have put almost 5000 rounds thru it not one failure. One of the supplied mags had a problem. Called Aaron at MBX and he sent me a new follower and spring. Problem went away. I like it so much I bought another one. Should be here next month.
Let let’s get something straight. I didn’t sell you a non working gun. I sent it back to CK and they said nothing was wrong but yet came back with file marks on the barrel and the guide rod. It did come back working significantly better. So they fixed the gun but won’t admit there was a problem with it. I had to pay the shipping both ways as well. I can not and will not own a gun that I can’t recommend someone else to buy. As well I won’t do business with a company that won’t admit to their mistakes. I made sure that gun ran before I sold it. But the headache that went into making it run could have been avoided. Not to mention the extra costs. I’m very happy that you haven’t had problems with the gun. But for me after the initial issues and then CK telling me that there is no problem but yet it comes back with tool marks. I will never own a CK and will never recommend anyone buy one either.

I owned a CK and it was the worst purchase I ever made. The gun had nothing but problems and CK has terrible customer service. My father owns an STI and it has been great. Personally I’m moving on to an Atlas Chaos.

The Limcats run about $5,900 to $6,600 or so. I just priced out an Atlas Chaos on their website to match all of the options I put on my Limcat that is on order and I see that the Atlas is about $1,000 more than what I am paying. I cannot believe it is $7,175 for an Atlas Chaos. I am sure that Atlas are great firearms, but having seen the personal touches and hand made work that goes into the Razorcat, I find it hard to beat.
I'll admit, the one in the classifieds is really nice, just a little short for my preference. But that is just me.
I’m not sure what options you are picking for a full custom chaos from atlas to get the price that high. I do think the Limcats are a flasher gun and maybe look better. I have never shot one or seen one in person so I can not comment on how well they run. For me personally I bought the chaos because of how many great reviews they get and the lead time or lack there of. When I was look to buy a new open gun I called Atlas on a Sunday and Adam picked up the phone as he was driving back from area 7 and answered all the questions I had. That was what made me decide to buy from them. I have hear great things about Limcat and there Customer service as well.

Definitely buy quality. I bought a CK and had nothing but problems with it. Open is extremely fun if you don’t have problems. If you do then it becomes extremely frustrating. With my CK I couldn’t go more then 1 stage without having problems. I understand your concern. I have an atlas on order now and should be here next month. I’m hoping that will run better and from what I hear about Atlas, it will. Mags and ammo do take some messing around with to get everything running well however it’s all worth it in the end.

6k+ depending on options. If you do steel grip, tungsten sleeve, turbo comp, etc you are looking at 6500+.
*cough that's why the one in the classifieds is such a good deal cough*No Doubt that is a great deal. My Atlas Chaos will be here in about a month now. I first bought a CK and that was a big mistake so I sold that and bought the Atlas. I really never looked into Limcat. It sounds like they are making some really nice guns.
-
I know the Atlas Chaos is running about $5600. What are the Limcats running? I do understand the price does change with different options on the limcats. Im just looking for a ball park number.

I have used both Winchester and CCI and they both work great

I’m running a 7lbs wolf speing in my CK arms. It works great and shoot nice and flat.

My CK is just fine, running oal of 1.165 and works great. I can go longer if I wanted also.
-
I currently have a CK arms open gun and it runs but im just not happy with it. Im really looking to get one of these now.

Update. Got the gun open gun back from STI after a 2 month wait. Came back with a new mount and a rts2. Problems solved. Has been running great now.

Just an update from my original post...
Four months later after a world class gunsmith tried to fix it:
-Aftec extractor was installed and tuned.
-Ejector filed and tuned.
-Found the chamber was out of spec and not machined properly, so he reamed it out to proper dimensions.
Result? Nothing but FTE jams. Can't make it through a single magazine without this:
sent mine back to STI and it has been over 2 months haven't heard anything. They won't return calls or emails. It is ridiculous how bad of service they have!
-
I second taccom they have great products and are great to deal with!

I also am just getting into open. I went with MBX. It seems like a toss up and luck on Mags. You might get luck and they run in your gun or you might have to do more running and changing springs and what not.

I tried production, and it is a no go, as the daylight in between the iron sites is a blur, therefore I was stuck with open class. Now there is an alternative to those of us with aging eyes
, as well as those trying a new approach over production that will not break you financially. I definitely think that CO/PO is here to stay!
I agree CO isn’t going anywhere and it fills a gap between classes.

This is some really great information. I just tested some Accurate #7 yesterday and found my chaos need more like 9.9-10 gr. from what some of the guys I know that use AA7 a little bit higher PF works better for that powder. I have been using 8.1 of HS6 and honestly I couldn't tell much of a diffrence between the two. But I need to do some more testing. Im interested in your findings of the Shooters World Major powder. Might have to pick up a pound of that and try it out, if I can find it that is.
