Bossk95, hope you don't mind if I piggyback a question onto your post... Does the burn rate of a powder make much difference in effectiveness of a compensator in minor 9mm ammo? I developed a load that gets me about 135 pf in a non-comped gun and it shoots really well. Its 4.3 grains of Sport Pistol behind a 124 grain bullet. Just picked up a single port comp'd 2011 and heard that a slower burning powder will likely shoot flatter. So I am debating if I want to try and develope a new load with maybe Auto-Comp or CFE Pistol. But don't know if I will se

Sweet, thank you! Will be reading that article over lunch.

Thanks for the detailed explanation ZZT. Great idea about checking debris on the target board. Will definitely try this out!

Hi Guy, thanks for the response. I was told by the gun maker that I should try and aim for 140 power factor to see a benefit from the comp. I have a non-comp'd version of the same gun and it is shooting great at 135. I think I will try the same load when the comp'd version arrives. Thanks again!

Sorry for the newbie question... I am looking at purchasing a single port compensated 9mm pistol and have read that I want to be around 140 power factor for the single port comp to be effective. I am currently loading 124 grain jacketed with 4.3 grains of Alliant Sport Pistol. With this load, I am getting about 135 power factor (average speed around 1085 to 1090). Alliant chart said I can go up to 4.7 grains for a +P load with Sport Pistol. I am sure that if I go to +P load at 4.7 grain, I will be at or above 140 power factor. I have he

Thank you Chutist, I will check out the Comp-Tac holsters.

Thank you Chewycookie, I will reach out to Atlas and see what they recommend.

Hi everyone, Have a newbie question to ask... I just purchased an Atlas Athena as a range toy. It is a "2011" type 9mm pistol with 4.6 inch barrel with full dust cover. Been looking for holsters for this pistol but found only a few makers that specifically make one for this pistol; but not really interested in the ones I saw. Wondering if any all all "2011" double stack pistol holster should work for this gun? If not, is there any other pistol maker brands/type/specifications that I should be on the look out for the holster to work for thi
