if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Just shoot a ton of bill drills until you figure out how fast you can reliably go without getting trigger freeze. Hose it.

Love my Nemesis as well. They have been nothing but professional with me as well.

Jfitz- how long is the lead time on Venon guns?

I had DVC Limited and i cleaned it when i got it and then lubed it and shot it....i never had any issues whatsoever.

No stage planning????? thats what i need....less thinking the better.

Once again, I totally agree and to my knowledge any issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of the customer. I believe what my friends and the other people at my club have issues with are "minor" details that should be rectified before the gun ever gets to the end-user, although the hammer dropping without the trigger being pressed is definitely a safety issue. Personally, i have no issues with my gun or Atlas in general. Adam, from Atlas has always taken the time to talk to me about everything associated with my gun and I would get another one. Just that 2 out of 2 of my friends that recently purchased had to send back within a day or two of getting theirs and it has soured numerous members of my club.

I agree with that totally...however, i think we can all agree that the issues i described from my friends were straight from the shop and not after a few months of use. When mags don't even fit halfway into the grip that is not user error. That is lack of attention to detail.

I have a buddy who has posted on here about his Titan that he had no issues with. I shot his gun numerous times and it led me to get a Nemesis. I have had no issues with my gun at all. A couple guys recently purchased Titans. One had his gun delivered past the advertised (at the time) 60 day guarantee. He ordered 6 mags and 4 of them literally (i am not exaggerating) did not fit in the gun. How on earth a firearm can leave the shop with mags not even fitting in the gun is beyond me. He sent the gun back and the problem was rectified. Another friend from the cub just received his Titan last week. We had it to the range this weekend and the grip safety, although pinned, had a significant amount of movement. He was having issues (purely personal preference) with the new atlas safety, which has a wider ledge. He would upon reloading bump the safety up. I witnessed on two occasions that when he pushed the safety back down it dropped the hammer, without him pulling the trigger. He has since repeated this phenomenon on video, however i will not post it without his approval. The hammer fell, when pushing the safety off without pulling the trigger. He filled out the online warranty form and they sent him a shipping label and it is back at Atlas now. Now i have a bunch of other friends that have Atlas Titans, Nemesis' and Chaos' and have had no issue. I too, have not had any issues with my Nemesis. But it is concerning that two of my friends that recently received their Titans, have both had to send it back within days of receiving it for issues. Personally, at this time I would get another Atlas, but know other guys at my club that were thinking of getting them have now decided not to.

USPSA is pretty good about putting all the minutiae in describing how the classifiers are to be built. If a match director can't follow the basic instructions, it reflects poorly on him/her and the affiliated club. Attention to detail is essential for the classifiers. If it is wrong throw it out.

I usually have it real bad when shooting in cold conditions. I think, like others have said, when you are too tense it tends to happen. Try to loosen up...i tend to shoot some hoser drills at some point during my practice, mainly because it is fun as hell shooting fast, but i want to try to condition myself to not tense up when shooting fast.

Don't put so much pressure on yourself...easier said then done!

How many can you fit in the 155's?

Keep up the good work...what kind of Open gun are you rocking?

So you have 3 people to pick up brass, reset and paste? That seems like a lot of pasting for a couple people, especially on a long field course. At the 3-4 clubs i shoot at regularly not 1 person picks up brass....everyone helps reset and paste. If someone decided to pick up brass while other people were resetting they would be quickly admonished. But thats just how things go at the clubs i shoot at.

Thanks good info to have...will have to switch to SP once my VV runs out.

Interesting i didn't know that Sport Pistol was softer than N320. I currently use N320 but my LGS isn't able to get it anymore since the distributor isn't carrying it. I have 6 pounds of VV left but have heard it is basically like N320 and the OP's chronology data is basically the same as my 320 data...will have to try that when I run out...i don't feel N320 is that harsh, but if Sport Pistol is softer i will give it a try.

Ahh ok thanks for clarifying.

I have not heard this about Akai.

I have probably shot 30-40 matches in the last two years and can count on 2 fingers the times anyone had a paster gun. The more people you have pasting and resetting the faster the next person shoots. quite a concept.

I understand that...but if everyone helps reset, the squad gets done with the stage faster ...then after everyone has shot they can pick up the brass.

Thanks for the info sir! i will check them out. I like winners.

Well then why doesn't everyone reset and get it done a lot faster, then you can all pick up the brass after everyone has shot the stage?

I have a Nemesis right now, but slowly but surely the eyes are slowly getting weaker so will move to Open probably next season. Really good video by the OP and will most likely be ordering a chaos in the near future.

Had a buddy chrono yesterday and he loaded 4.2 Titegroup 1.180 out of his Atlas Titan and it was failing to make power factor. He had some loaded to 4.4 and it easily made power factor...right around 170.
