I'm debating between an Athena and Erebus. This would be for 3Gun, Steel matches, and range time blasting. Most of my interest is in getting carry style optics on a 2011 but the compensator is what I'm stuck on.
I haven't seen people asking/commenting on the noise factor of Erebus vs Athena. My open guns are **LOUD** and I really can't shoot them indoors. Less gas in 9mm minor but still I'd have to think Erebus is going to but considerably louder than Athena.
Any experience with Erebus, Staccato XC, DVC Steel, or similar 9mm minor comp'd guns vs a standard barrel with 9mm minor would be appreciated.
(I should add that the seemingly small difference in muzzle flip isn't going to be a game changer for me...however, I also really REALLY like how my open guns seemingly don't even move when the load is "juuuuuust right"...)
