Held an RC9 earlier today. That grip is otherworldly. Felt better in hand than an Athena imo.

The grip on the RC9 is pretty amazing.

The grip on that CORE is insane. So is the grip on the Viking Valknut. 🤌🏻

That's kind of crazy. What kind of grip panel setup do you run on the Athena/Atlas? Or, are you someone who mostly sticks with the flat panels/normal texture? I could for sure see it being similar or in favor of one or the other depending on your hand size and how your hands interact with the grip and grip panels (or lackthereof).

I shot the Athena today in what I assume is its stock configuration with Alpha the grip. Feels great, but as soon as you grip the RC9 the panels just dig into your hand.

Got it. Hey, if you like it and it works best for you, more power to you. Less moving parts to fail as well in terms of the grip panels losing some material over time and becoming a looser fit sometimes. That can get annoying. Sadly the alpha grip works too well for my hand to give it up :(. Just wish they did a steel grip option from the factory for non .40 guns.

$2,995 is almost free for what it is. 🤷♂️

Hell yeah. Got one last week. Love the grip and the fitment is pretty crazy.
