jcc7x7 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Best Limited guns based on owning and shooting them. Akai Bedell Akai if you want Bling, Dan if you don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Eddie Garcia and Eddie Cameron build very nice guns. If you shoot Rio Salado you will find their guns being shot. Eddie shootsTNS and the local matches. You can get a boat load of local references. Matt McLearn is not local but about an hour away. I believe all three have had national champions shoot their guns as do local GMs. & Et. Al. These guys are local and do outstanding work. You cannot beat outstanding local service. IF you have the time contact Kodiak Precision for truly outstanding guns. Don Golembieski is my gunsmith--not just a pistolsmith. He does it all, pistol, rifles, shotguns. He excels as a shooter in all disciplines. He is very well know in the upper echelons of shooting. At one time he was one of three gunsmiths who would get SV frames and slides.

Pfiddy Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I currently own a couple of infinities, one sight tracker limited with a Steel grip, the other is a standard barrel with an older plastic grip. They are both very nice shooters but they have a different feel. I prefer the sight tracker even though its significantly heavier it slows my draw down a little bit. Ive just ordered an Atlas nemesis, I should have it in about a month. I'll try to do a comparison when the Atlas comes in. I love the bling of the SVIs, but they take incredibly long to acquire. I think the wait is 18 months now. I don't know that after a certain build level on the master pistol smith level, you're getting anything more than minor tweaks to aesthetics and minute changes in feel of the cycling of the gun. Just my opinion. If all the guns run, get the one that appeals to you the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 It would be impossible to deny that SV is on a level of their own when it comes to looks/finish. Obviously that comes at a price...time/money. The most important thing to me is that the pistol has to run flawlessly and be accurate. You don't have to spend 5K or wait 18 months to get one that meets that requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHA-Lee, this is great information, however the mods of this forum punish you for doing just that, I use the search function to find all kinds of info on here instead of asking the same questions that have been covered hundreds of times.... Turns out, if you do that and then post to the classifieds the mods shut you down because they say you do not contribute.... How many times can you make replies to the same questions.... lol Edited July 23, 2018 by Justinmac13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewtac Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Where do you live? I went with lone star as they are close. It is nice having the smith close by if something needs tweaked and being able to develop the relationship with a hand shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyAxon Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I went with Atlas because of the two month lead time on a Titan. I now have two and they're great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_RAD Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Try to find a good deal on a used one.

I just got to try out a Titan belonging to one of my friends - I'm really into the inclusion of the Evo grip. If I could get some trigger time on a Nemesis, I might be sold.

I got to test it out at the range today with some factory ammo and I'm in love. I have the dies and whatnot on the way and am excited to test some lower power ammo through it. Based on advertised for ammo I was using today was around 190k PF so once I develop my own loads it should be gravy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalle2491 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Atlas make absolutely wonderufl guns. Ive got to play with one a few weeks ago and its ran so nice. Its also nie because the wait on them isnt as bad as some of the other custom guns out there. Id also look at a CK Arms Hardcore or a Shay Acai thats in stock somewhere.

SCinTX Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I can't speak highly enough about Shay's Akai pistols. He often has a good selection in stock, available for immediate shipment or fast minor customization (grips as such). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
