Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key differences between the Atlas EOS, Apollo, and Erebus pistols?

The Atlas EOS is a 4.25-inch carry gun with V-ports. The Apollo is a 4.6-inch 'do-it-all' pistol, also ported. The Erebus is a full-size, heavily compensated competition pistol, exclusively optic-ready. Differences lie in size, barrel length, porting vs. heavy compensation, and intended use.

How does porting affect shooting characteristics in Atlas pistols?

Porting directs gases upward to flatten the muzzle's return to the target, making the gun feel faster and more controllable. It doesn't necessarily reduce felt recoil but improves rapid follow-up shots by keeping the sights on target.

Which Atlas 2011 model did the presenter ultimately choose and why?

The presenter chose the Atlas Apollo. While the EOS is more carry-friendly, the Apollo offered slightly better shootability and was easier to be fast and accurate with, making it the preferred choice for his needs.

What are the general impressions of Atlas Gunworks pistols?

Atlas Gunworks pistols are highly regarded for their exceptional build quality, tight tolerances, and custom-level fit and finish. They are considered high-end production guns that universally impress industry professionals.
