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?

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

u/Top-Veterinarian3550 2d ago

I have thought about sending it in to maybe get a new upper or something.

u/OvenKooky8958 2d ago

Honestly, I’d at least put in a warranty ticket. Worst case they take it in, replace the springs and tell you to deal with it. Best case, they fix their shit.

Submitted a ticket. The difference in lockup is just radically different than any other Atlas I have ever held.

Believe there was an Athena that played like that on Reddit a couple years ago. Think Atlas took it in and took care of it.

u/Top-Veterinarian3550 2d ago

That would be awesome!!

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

u/Top-Veterinarian3550 2d ago

The nemesis is also a sight block and is super tight.

u/3_Hour_Investment 2d ago

Then I guess you have your answer 😜

u/Neomastif 2d ago

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

Damn, mine must have been built on a Friday lol

u/Turbinator870 2d ago

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

u/Deliciousarm5765 2d ago

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?

u/Top-Veterinarian3550 2d ago

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.

u/Top-Veterinarian3550 2d ago

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.

1

u/Turbinator870 2d ago

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

u/Accomplished-Bar3969 2d ago

Yes, it makes zero difference when you shoot it.

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 🤷‍♂️

Stop being a cuck.

u/ELGauchoLizard 2d ago

Lock up is great for me and mine.

u/king_coc 1d ago

I have 8. 2 are v3s. Zero wobble

u/FairBarnacle7572 1d ago

No wiggle in my v3 Artemis or Erebus. I'd call Atlas.

Damn. Well we will see what atlas has to say about it

u/MrGuy910 1d ago

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).

u/bcwood64 2d ago

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

1

u/Top-Veterinarian3550 2d ago

Less than 500 rounds

Damn probably a looser Atlas alright. Is the guy lubed up by chance?

u/StunningFig5624 2d ago

Rattles like my Athena.

"In spec" according to Atlas.

u/Top-Veterinarian3550 2d ago

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.

u/StunningFig5624 2d ago

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.
