I know you said that you wanted to stick with Atlas, but Phoenix Trinity is offering the Race Shop for the Honcho, you can get the 40 cal sight block by itself for 3200 with a steel grip. P.s. 10 week lead time

Atlas Gunworks has 24 blank 9mm slides in stock as of now.

300, but I went prone and it took 10 shots.

JEM or Caspian maybe?

It might have to do with the Swartz safety under the rear sight because Kimbers aren't series 70, but they aren't series 80 style either. Those Bunker plates look interesting.

Talk to DC Precision, they seem to do a lot of them, and they look pretty sharp too. https://www.dcprecisionllc.com/

That's why I started this thread lols, Atlas is really tight on specs, so hopefully these might help out the quality slide shortage.

Thanks for the link.

I know Warwick Tactical sells short block kits, but do you know if they sell bald slides by themselves?

Like @Mytmousemalibu said, Adam is big on trying to manufacture in house so he can control quality. But sticking up for Atlas's manufacturing process isnt the purpose of the thread, it's to let builders know that there might be a quality alternative to JEM slides while his machine is down since STI and Caspian slides aren't quite up to snuff right now.

I found the specs off of the STI website for the 3 gun says 5.4 for the barrel. The guide rod channel on the 3 gun looks a little long with the standard dust cover for a 5in gun.

I know JEM will do variance work (put other logos/names on frames) and they'll do all the paperwork for it. Maybe Atlas is doing something like that, or just producing their own like you said.

Hey all, Just thought I'd share what I found, been waiting forever for JEM to get back up and running, but these might be a good alternative. Atlas released them yesterday as far as I know. I think Atlas is making their own slides now and selling some bald and have pre cut ones in the works. https://atlasgunworks.com/product/atlas-gunworks-slide-5-unique-bald/

Have you looked into Hayes Custom Guns? They are in Texas and do both Bredas and Benellis, and Dissident Arms does tube fed gunwork also.

Have you looked at the HiperGrip? It fills the hand quite nicely and has the reduced grip angle as well. Link:https://www.hiperfire.com/product/hipergrip/

What would cause this issue? I've only had it happen during dryfire on an empty chamber, but I don't want it to get worse and possibly fail during a match. The carrier release goes up into the trigger guard like normal, but the pump just locks up and I almost have to mortar it to cycle the action. I haven't done any trigger work to it either. Thanks in advance!

I think a 22 conversion kit is a great training tool. I have an old STI conversion and I use it on my single stack gun all the time. Since all the fire control parts are on the frame it wont change, unlike the Glock, where the striker spring/safety detent spring will effect the trigger. Hope it helps. Also like Eric said the Nelson or the Marvel Custom conversions are going to be the best you can get.

Without Armalite's clamp on, I was also looking for an irons solution. For now, I'm borrowing a Spitfire AR 1x prism. If budget isnt really a concern, the Ultradyne Apollo brake/sight combo is pretty interesting, and if you were worried about it folding, you could maybe modify it like Hurley's YHM.

Im going to run a Vortex Spitfire AR in limited this season because I couldnt find a iron sight set up that I liked. Like the others have mentioned, it's better for longer distance over a red dot and it's a little better on the eyes for those of us with an astigmatism. I can shoot with both eyes open just fine with a target focus up close, then switch to a reticle focus for the long stuff. That's just what works for me however, it would be best to get some time behind one and form your own opinions. Even shooting from unconventional positions isnt really that difficult, if you put enough practice in.

I use an Odin Works Zulu with a empty carbine buffer and spring. With the secondary spring in the tube, it's a pretty smooth impulse.

I love mine as well! I did not need to loctite the main tube to the receiver, however I did blue loctite the adjustment screws in the back as a precaution. So far have not had anything slip or go loose on me.

I load my Berrys 147gr inbetween 1.14 and 1.135 for my KKM 34 barrel. All the rounds have passed the case gauge and the plunk/ turn test with flying colors. Hope that helps.

From my personal experience I've only have 100 percent feeding with at least 14 inches hanging out, maybe that would help?

However, to answer your question, the main difference between the Gen 1 and Gen 2 is that the Gen 2 has a Keymod handguard, where the Gen 1 is a 1913/add a rail thing. Gen 2 can also change barrels for different calibers. I think maybe the easiest thing to do would be to call Sig with the serial number and ask.
