Fasthenk65 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Living in Europe importing a hi-level 2011 from the USA is extremely expensive. Need serious advise. Should I go for Cheely or Atlas for a Standard Gun (Limited .40 as you call it in US). TNX!!! Henk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Is there any brand of 2011 that has a service and customer support structure there? If so, i'd seriously consider that one. As a data point, I've seen a fair number of Atlas guns at 3 gun and USPSA matches the last year (mostly titans, mostly 9mm) which is pretty significant representation for the price point. There didn't seem to be a lot of drama with them though, which is a good sign. As for Cheely, can't put forth anything like an opinion. I haven't seen too many in this neck of the woods. Or I haven't noticed them. There's something to be said for a distinct look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wonder about experts opinions. From a look point of view I like the Cheely (lot's) and I like their E2 grips (lot's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midwest3Gunner Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Cheely hasn't made complete guns in a while. But they did just get a new DMG Mori CNC, so maybe that'll help production enough that they might start building again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrly Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Don't know much about Cheely, I own several Atlas guns great guns, great service, can not wrong them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waktasz Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 If I lived over there I'd get a CZ TSO and be done with it. But I do love my Cheely gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waktasz Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 yea, they are super light. There has to be a way to make that heavier . Or maybe a Tanfo Limited Custom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had many Tanfo's. Liked them but... quality... replacing extractor every 2000 rounds (then they cracked, with heavy bullets but still)... I want a 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe a Tanfo Limited Custom? There is a solution: heavier trigger spring (Shadow 2) next to the original then its 2, something pounds but trigger looses it's ' crispness' then so I sold it. Bought an used Edge recently with Cheely E2 grip , like it and now wanna step up! Edited March 12, 2020 by Fasthenk65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanfoglio 38 super Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Try DTS armory in Roermond. Maybe they can help you import a atlas gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tophernj Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Not that you asked about them, but... What about BUL Armory? They build some very nice pistols and although Israel isn't technically Europe, maybe it's easier/cheaper to get stuff from there (I'm spitballing here so be kind). It's just a thought.

cheby Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I used to shoot CZ TSOs a LOT. Now I am shooting Atlas. I wish I got the atlas (And 2011 in general) sooner. I am sure Cheely is pretty good as well. I do think the business organization and the customer support of Atlas is superior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
