50k!!! I might have 10k through the Nemesis now. When you say slide stop pin is that the slide lock pin for manually locking the slide back? Need to see if maybe mine might need replacing. I still have yet to replace any springs. I probably should just for good preventative maintenance. Nice video Charlie.

Anderson's show is great. Shoot Fast is good too. Id be better if that dear friend production shooter would speak less. #limitedislife

What happened to Prima SV? Grafs or Powder Valley has been out of stock for awhile now. Down to my last pound.

I would check those mag lips first. Maybe open them up a touch. I run 1.195 180gr Blue Bullets with an Atlas.

You guys shouldn't worry. Atlas makes a great gun and will stand behind their product. I got a Nemesis last August and I too sent it back a few days later for a safety that came loose. I was annoyed, but they took care of it and had it back to me before the next weeks match. The gun just runs and runs. What's more is I run 180gr Blue Bullets at 1.195 with Prima SV (cuz CHA-LEE said so) and it works 100% of the time. I've got maybe 10k blues through it now. Quite a few other folks shoot Titan's locally and they run 100%. Lastly, shout out to CHA-LEE. If you haven't read his "Path to Focused Effort" book you should. I've won, combined, the last 3 club matches Ive shot since November. A little bit of Atlas and his book goes a looong way.

I have a CZ Custom CTS. I know the slide is blued. Not sure what coating the frame has. The more I read on all these different coatings the more I become unsure about what I want or what truly is best. I have a DLC finish on my Atlas Nemesis. Its really nice, smooth, and slick. Would it also be as smooth and slick for the CZ CTS or will it show imperfections in the frame? Same question applies to Nitride or PVD. I'd like to finish the entire gun to include the controls, hammer, and barrel. It has too have a very uniform/smooth finish. It needs to look better than it does now. Could a DLC or Nitride be done in the neighborhood of $150 and where do you folks recommend I send it too? Primary Machine has come up a lot in discussions.

Killer runs man. Great shooting and great video you put together. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you chumly! I saw an eBay ad this morning. The 650 came out to $518 using the code with free shipping. Great deal. Also, the logic you guys use is for convincing a wife. Now I will have 2 650’s. #sixtybucksmatter

I read the fine print on the Ebay 20%-25% and it's only 20% up to $100?

Wondering if anyone knows of any Dillion 650 deals this Friday? Do they ever go on sale?

There are plenty of good/great 2011's in the classifieds. If money is an issue (always is) don't break the bank on a $4-5k gun. I'm all about my Nemesis, but I don't think I'm any more accurate or faster with it than I was with my CZ. You might disagree, but I've been shooting USPSA for a bit over a year now and consistently improving. Hard to say if the gun really made a difference. I really don't think your current 2011 is holding you back. It's heavy, has a bull barrel, light trigger, and runs.

That’s really cool! I’d be real interested in hearing from folks who actually took a builders class or from those who built there own 1911/2011.

I went to the Nemesis from a CZC CTS .40. I would agree with Fox and others. The Nemesis or Titan is not going to affect your match performance when coming from a CZ. What is the price difference between a Nemesis and a Titan? $500? Plenty of folks here are top of their class with a “conventional” 2011. Either way I was new to the 2011 platform so it was going to take sometime growing into. For a guy that purchased a $2400 CTS over a $1,000 TS you’re spending an aweful amount of time sweating the price difference .

Disregard.

The reset “push” on those CZC flat triggers are not as positive as a factory TS trigger. It also doesn’t quite have the short reset like a good 2011 trigger would have. That’s my observation between a CZC CTS and a Atlas Nemesis 2011. I haven’t shot my CTS in awhile, but I did have to make a conscious effort to allow my trigger finger to travel just a bit more if not off the trigger any time I shot a bill drill. I still preferred the CZC trigger over the factory TS. Felt more precise and predictable.

I have those Mikro grips on my CTS. Very grippy and similar texture to the PT Evo on my 2011. Henning and Lok make great grips too. Seems the Lok’s are the most popular. I still prefer the thin Mikro grips from CZC.

The extra price over a Titan? No question. Buy once, cry once. There are a few guys who can put together a worldclass 2011, but none that I’ve seen for a sight block gun.

I did. Been shooting with it since August.

Nemesis. I called about a Titan and got talked into the Nemesis. This was around February before most even knew about their sight block gun. I have not owned nor shot a Titan.

5 Gen 2 STI’s here. All TTI base pads tuned by Atlas. All run 100%. I like the idea of MBX and the success many others have had, but can’t complain about the Gen 2 STI’s from Atlas.

My Nemesis was done in about 10 weeks or a bit sooner. Totally worth the short wait ;).

I thought the stages were designed well and mostly built for speed. Some more fun than others. I could have done without 2 classic targets at 50 yards. ?

So that clears it up I suppose. I didn’t mind the stage design by any means, just fell it’s misleading. Not very helpful for newer shooters who may not have seen something like that before . You better believe I would have shot that drop turner from an alternate area if I knew about it. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way.

and what bullets do you primary use? I'm using 180gr Blue Bullets as I have several thousand left. I'll try some Eggleston's I have left over in the next few weeks. Thanks for sharing.

So I ended up with 7th in B class Limited. It was a very fun match and great way to start building my comfort level with a new gun. Dropping stage 7 would have only affected maybe two positions. Insignificant to make a fuss about it. However, for future stages am I wrong to argue the stage 7 drop turner as not a NPM and no alternate shooting area to reengage? Really just curious now. Also, the ability to put 3 in the drop tuner and take a 7 second penelty to my time would still have been very much worth it.
