sleepdoc Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I am trying to decide on a limited gun. I come from a long range precision rifle background but will be doing some USPSA matches this year for a change of pace. I was initially going to get an Atlas titan in 9mm but someone told me it will be heavier than it needs to be for 9mm. I am not set on 9mm by any means and reloading is not an issue as I am all set up for reloading besides just getting components for whichever caliber. My question I realize is subjective but would it be better to just go with a 40 and load it for minor or get a 9mm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertTortoise Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Any reason for wanting to shoot limited minor? You'd be in a significant minority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question I realize is subjective but would it be better to just go with a 40 and load it for minor or get a 9mm? The scoring system favors MAJOR PF guns in Limited. Unless it's for a physical reason such as painful hands etc I would go with a .40 in Limited. Since I am really only set up to load 9mm in bulk I would shoot a 9mm in Limited because I just don't care to start buying bulk bullets and different powders etc. But that's just me knowing I wouldn't be competitive either way so I would just keep it simple.

Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk No real goals at this point as I will probably only shoot more local matches. With how much I work I can only make 1-2 out of state rifle matches a year so I will never get to the point of being a national level competitor.

DesertTortoise Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 With the 40 you can go major or minor and you'll have an easier time selling it, if you choose to do so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleepdoc Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thanks for the help guys. I will go ahead and order the 40 and stop changing my mind on which gun to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Yes, 9mm limited guns are stupid unless you have a REALLY good reason for getting one, like you shoot 3-gun and are sponsored and someone else is paying for it. You'd be best off getting a 40 and loading it for major, unless you are an 11-year old girl or have severe hand issues that prevent you from shooting grown-up bullets.

Corrado_kid Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 +1 for going with a .40. You’ll be able to sell it to a broader market, if you ever decide to sell it. Plus like they said you can load it for either major or minor. I just got my Titan a few weeks ago. Their customer service has been great!!

jcc7x7 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 "Doc" IF you come from Precision rifle you're used to quality built stuff. So the Atlas, CK, type of guns are the same type in this game. Go 40 for the points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidb72 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 ATLAS has been having some quality issues lately. Might be a good idea to look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitman_usmc Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Like what? I have two atlas open guns along with their magazines and several accessories. I haven't had an issue with anything and they were easy to talk to the couple of times I've had questions. No trying to argue with you, just wondering what has happened? 1 hour ago, davidb72 said: ATLAS has been having some quality issues lately. Might be a good idea to look elsewhere.

davidb72 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 One gun came to the shooter with magazines that wouldn't fit in the grip. One gun came to the shooter with a safety that would allow the hammer to drop when disengaged. When that issue was brought to light another shooter checked his gun and had the same issue. I know of another one that has had several issues that has been back and forth to them several times and is still not right. My Titan has been 100% - reliable and accurate since I got it. They can build good guns but something has changed within the past year and it hasn't been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rojo1911 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 If you are looking at the Titan, I would also suggest looking at the Nemesis. I have a Titan, but I am looking to buy a Nemesis now. I hear the sight block helps the gun return to "zero" quicker for follow up shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHA-LEE Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Since I am now part of the Atlas Titan "Family" I figured I would post up some pictures of my new blaster. This is the Operator version of the Titan. I went with this version of the Titan simply because I am really good at breaking adjustable rear sights and prefer the fixed Novak style rear sights. I have had this bad boy for less than a week and already got 1200 rounds down the pipe with zero issues. I am looking forward to giving this blaster a solid workout this season.

This is the Operator version of the Titan. aha! so that's why you had so many questions about our Titans. That's an awesome looking gun! I really dig the smooth grip with grip-tape. I like the stock pt-evo texture too, but I've had to tape up my fingers a few times during dryfire, and i recently gently sanded some of the corners, especially around the front.

CHA-LEE Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I have big hands and the PT Evo style grip is too small in diameter to fit my hands properly. I am stuck with using the "Classic" PT grip that has the same shape and size of the STI Plastic grip. I also prefer a smooth surface grip with grip tape added because I can put the grip tape exactly where I need it and the rest is smooth so it doesn't cause hot spots when shooting or dry firing a lot. The Grip tape produces great friction as well and can be replaced whenever it needs freshened up. For me that is usually about once a year.

Welcome to the family...look forward to seeing your match videos for the upcoming season. I have the Nemesis. FYI, gun was unloaded and was checking the new trigger.
