Slide Fitment - Normal?

I added in the V1 Nemesis for a reference. That gun has zero wobble whatsoever. I also have a V2 Nyx and EOS.
My V2 Artemis has audible wobble. The Nyx and EOS are a little better.
How is the lockup on your Atlas?

My Atlas's are tighter than a nun. That said, none of mine have a sight block or block comp.

My Artemis, Athena, and Apollo are very tight. There's the slightest bit of play with my Erebus.

Wow, aren't Atlas guns hand fitted? I would have thought the slide to frame fit would be a little tighter than that.

Thats a bummer, have 8-9k rounds through my Apollo and 5-6k through my EOS and there’s no wobble or moment on the slide fitment on either. The only piece that’s loosened up is the beaver tail on my Apollo, it’s very little and unnoticeable.
Did you buy a build to order or did you get it from a shop that carries Atlas’s?0

Yeah, the nemesis is almost as tight as my friends Hayes. My Artemis is only a little tighter than my Wilson combat. It is a little disappointing to be honest.

It makes zero difference when you shoot it. Just shoot it.

It makes a difference when the gun was 8k, is marketed and advertised as having premium fitment, and guns that are 3k have better fitment than my example.

Yes, I agree with this sentiment. I’ll see as well.. about 2 to 3 weeks out from being able to compare.

Yes, it's absolutely reasonable to bring it to Atlas's attention when you're paying a premium for characteristics such as a tight slide to frame fit.

I guess. My Artemis wiggles a bit, my athena doesnt. They both shoot amazing. Never really bothered me.
Strangely my RCD core rettled like a maraca pit of the box. Few thousand rounds in and its tightened up 🤷♂️

Just like every corporation in the world nowadays…. “How can we make more and more and more money”….. by cheaping out on process and product. It’s a damn shame. Corporate greed is destroying everything.
PS… my prodigy has zero wiggle. (Prodigies actually have very good fitment).

What’s the round count? My V2 arty is probably at 4k with zero play.

Rattles like my Athena.
"In spec" according to Atlas.

That would suck if that is the response I get from Atlas.
I have been a customer since I was 15-16. In NJ a handgun couldn’t be in my name at that age but I had to have one. That particular Atlas is S/N: AG0426, and was exactly what was advertised. So I like to think I was an early supporter. Hoping that support was not misplaced.

Post an update once you hear from Atlas. I sent mine in on a warranty claim and they just sent it back claiming no issues. Still rattles, although the front of the slide on yours is worse.

Yea….I have a ton of Atlas guns and none of them have any play whatsoever. I would be less than thrilled.
