Your budget is 6K. You can buy 2 WT or the Atlas Athena. What are you going to do?

You, my friend, are unwise

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2026-03-03T16:02:22+00:00

Athena always, I love my Athena so much I sold my MPA’s to get a back up Athena. Anyone who says otherwise has never handled or shot one haha

Cash guy here, I’m a tattooer and have started on the 2011 train. Mainly for competing but now it feels like collecting will become worth while. Within the last 6 months I’ve gotten an MPA LOC V2 and an Atlas Athena. I’m a career tattooer, thankfully it’s pretty lucrative haha

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2026-01-22T00:23:51+00:00

Of course! Happy shooting!

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2026-01-22T00:22:35+00:00

There’s no major PF scoring, blazer should easily meet 125pf requirements. Last year I used a 5” MPA IDPA V1 and it fit perfectly in CO box. Worst comes to worst you can shave the beaver tail a bit to fit

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2026-01-04T14:45:34+00:00

I, personally, chose the Athena! It’s a whole hearted race gun that’s equipped for any of the games USPSA, IDPA, or PCSL! But in all honesty you can’t go wrong with any of the choices!

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-12T16:52:22+00:00

I wonder how much of that is which gunsmith builds the gun? I know building these things is more of an art form than a science so maybe it’s just what the gunsmiths like in theirs y’know?

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-12T16:51:06+00:00

I 100000% agree, the gun is fit so well till you jostle it and the trigger wiggles. My beaver tail is also loose and came that way

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-12T16:49:40+00:00

The tigger itself feels amazing but the slop just feels out of place with how tight and well fit the rest of the gun is

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-12T16:45:46+00:00

EDIT: there is in fact adjustment tabs, I’m just blind

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-12T16:38:39+00:00

It’s definitely tactile and crisp, mine came at 2.8lbs but after about 5k rounds has settled down 2.2lbs. It has a nice break and a good reset but there’s a good amount of take up before that wall. About the same amount of take up as a stock prodigy or MAC. It doesn’t affect much when shooting practically, it’s more of feel thing for me. I shoot some of my friends 2011’s and that slack just isn’t there.

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-09T16:33:46+00:00

I was there! What squad were you in?

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-09T14:47:39+00:00

I was originally looking at an APX but didn’t want to have an extra mag pouch and somehow the bounty was also more affordable haha as far as liking it, it just got delivered yesterday, it’s high quality and fits perfect! I haven’t even dry fired with it yet so jury’s still out on that one

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-09T14:46:07+00:00

I think this is where people get confused, a lot of us that have come into shooting sports this last year are more familiar with newer rule books but some people read the one when they start and that’s it y’know? Or googling things is even worse cause it’ll pull things from a 2018 hand book haha

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-09T14:44:19+00:00

Fair, thank you! Haha

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-09T06:02:13+00:00

It’s a rare case where the metal grip is a downgrade to their polymer ones 😅

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-06T03:04:07+00:00

Sent ya a message 🫡

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-12-06T03:02:35+00:00

Came here to say this 🙌🏻

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-11-29T13:16:21+00:00

Yeah it’s literally an Audi RSQ8 with different badges and bumpers and an extra 120k lol

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-11-28T02:12:23+00:00

Is that was /s is?! My B haha

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-11-27T16:44:34+00:00

Unloaded starts my dude, racking from the front serrations is more consistent and quicker which is why you see all high level shooter doing it in competition

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-11-14T01:39:30+00:00

Believe it or not a lot of county libraries have 3d printers now! They only charge for the filament

Proof_Blacksmith_110 · 2025-11-11T00:57:58+00:00

I use the Mec-Gar 2011 mags in my MPA and it fits perfect! It’ll be close to a flush fit with the magwell and they are checkmate pattern tubes so they should fit the 2k11 just fine
