RandyBaker Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Just. Curious of anyone that has an Atlas Hyperion and what think of it? In the market for one. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moloch38 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Same. There are some out there on FB, but would like to find some feedback on Hyperion up against a 9mm Nemesis, which I've been shooting for about a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrn1975 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 This is just my opinion, but the Hyperion is a fantastic pistol. The overall weight and balance are near perfect for the 9mm cartridge. The sites track perfectly. It is by far my favorite pistol in 9mm. My only issue is that my wife feels the same way, and has claimed all rights to my Hyperion so another one my be in my future. I can't really compare it to a Nemesis in 9mm, however I do own a Nemesis in .40. I personally think the overall weight of the Nemesis would be a bit much for the 9mm. If I had to guess, I would have to say that the Nemesis would shoot a bit softer due to the weight, but wouldn't return on target as well as the Hyperion.

geraldskip Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm super tempted by the Hyperion, but that new 3 gun Honcho also looks awesome. For a tiny bit more than the hyperion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I would probably agree with you based on the weight, but the Hyperion didn't exist yet, so Nemesis it was! I wish I could get a 9mm comparison to see how the Hyperion stacks up with a standard Titan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike H Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) I had Adam build a 9mm upper for my .40 Titan, then the Hyperion came out. I shot one and it was great. Better than a 9mm Nemesis? I don't know, I love the Nemesis in .40, but it's a toss up for me between the Nemesis and Titan in .40. If I had a do over, I'd definitely buy a Hyperion over the 9mm Titan upper. For me, the 9mm in the Titan and Nemesis is a little overkill, but a blast to shoot. The Hyperion is a just a great pistol for the 9mm, jrn1975 stated it perfectly.

For a tiny bit more than the hyperion. The Honcho is a cool concept. Its kinda like the jack of all trades type of pistol. I didn't see the specific weight on the pistol, but I would think it "again" would be a tad heavy for the 9mm cartridge. I am sure it shoots soft though. There are soo many good pistols out there right now to choose from. The thing I like about the Atlas line is that they are developed and purpose built with a single goal in mind which is to be some of the best shooters for their specific purposes. The Hyperion was developed strictly around the 9mm cartridge and it truly delivers what I feel is the best overall package for that caliber.

avastcosmicarena Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Downside of Hyperion: no optic Downside of Erebus: no non-optic sights Would be nice to get both in one gun for more flexibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you give them a call, I bet they can accommodate either request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary1911A1 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'd like to get one after watching Atlas's video, but I already have a 2011 Infinity I'm changing over from .40 to 9MM and I'm not sure it would be worth it for my skill level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiro6 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Have lots of interest in this thread as I'm considering ordering a Hyperion as well, but wanted to know if anyone has had their hands on the Hyperion L from Atlas' Facebook page which seems like a cross between the Hyperion and Nemesis (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=459258994816093) and see how it stacks compared to the regular Hyperion?

Pollock Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 This may be the wrong thread to ask, but I too am very interested in the Hyperion over a titan/nemesis for 3gun work and light uspsa. How’s the holster situation for these firearms given their 3gun focus? I currently shoot a TSO and the holster scenario is bleak tbh, which is very frustrating - especially for retention holsters. Is this easier with the Hyperion? Any knowledge on safariland fitment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a bunch of CZ pistols listed. Got it pretty fast and fits well. Hood mechanism also works well. She has many matches on it. https://miholsterco.com/duty-competition/ gerritm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moloch38 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I bought a couple RHT for my Nemesis (for 3G) and went back to a NERD Coffin, it doesn't have a hood, but the retention/draw is the best I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did you just get a Nerd for a 5/6inch sti and it was sized right for the nemesis or was there some remolding to be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EaZeNuTZ33 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 If you're looking at a 3-gun pistol, the region of the country you shoot in and the targets/distances you shoot may make the Hyperion more or less enticing. It's a nice pistol, like most higher end 2011's, and shoots well with 9mm. I'd personally want a longer sight radius for the matches that I shoot, as I tend to shoot smaller targets and further away. I fully understand the different sized sights and how it's supposed to replicate a longer sight radius, but I still prefer a longer sight radius. I personally shoot a 3G Honcho and prefer the 5.4" length with irons, and my backup gun is a Hayes 5.4"...my only shorter 2011 has already been sold. As for retention and holsters. I prefer a hooded holster for 3-gun and a non-hooded holster for USPSA. I got both via Weber Tactical, and with full width frames and slides, zero fitment issues and no inserts required. I like the idea of race holsters and they should work well for most, but I still see the release being something that can be hit when unslinging a long gun.

I just placed an order for a Hyperion last week so now I'm trying to figure out what I want to do about the holster/mag pouch situation. Plenty of time to decide. I'm leaning towards the Weber Tactical with a hood as that's what Cat at Atlas recommended. She also said that or Red Hill Tactical. I have a RHT for my TSO and honestly I'm not overly impressed in the retention of their model for USPSA with the thumb rest. I like the Safariland ALS but now they aren't as inexpensive as they used to be it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pfiddy Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I didn’t much like the RHT for my nemesis either. The serrations in the slide are shredding the inside of the holster. It works better with other 2011s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastic, metal PT or SVi? I would really like to do the same holster for everything. The suspension/hanger system looks a little hokey. Is it effective? Any drawback to that one?
