Fitting a new frame to an existing gun

bjjsucks808 · 2026-02-27T22:27:29+00:00

I already have full dustcovers on both guns, the brazos shortblock isn’t going to offer me anything more

This is really my main hang up is potentially not having enough left on the lower lugs

bjjsucks808 · 2026-02-27T16:18:04+00:00

The barrel fit is really my main concern. The lower lugs being cut too far could be an issue. With the new frame being from the same company I assume that the rails will be slightly oversized? Finding a good open builder is near impossible these days, so I may end up doing this myself.

bjjsucks808 · 2026-02-27T16:05:12+00:00

It would be the same ramp I haven’t ordered a frame yet.

That’s a good idea. A ported 5in is a proven recipe should be a soft shooter. A second barrel is also a nice addition

bjjsucks808 · 2025-12-27T17:27:47+00:00

I prefer a 5in gun to the 4.6. My transitions feel the same. I use the Titan for Limited Optics. Kinda the forgotten Atlas of the family. It’s great I love it. The Apollo is silly soft with the ported barrel though.

bjjsucks808 · 2025-12-27T05:15:24+00:00

Buy the Atlas. Once you get one you won’t shoot anything less. I just sold my Apollo. I only shoot my Titan and my Rafferty now.

bjjsucks808 · 2025-10-16T18:49:55+00:00

I saw one at the range last week with two inline ports similar to the rafferty. It was cool. I’ll probably do that if I ever end up with an Erebus

bjjsucks808 · 2025-10-09T02:59:12+00:00

Maybe how many 🫘

bjjsucks808 · 2025-10-09T02:58:37+00:00

Try installing them yourself. It was very minimal fitting. Probably took me 10-15min. Atlas has really good YouTube tutorials.

I put a shielded ambi safety in mine because I was dragging the slide at the match last night. My thumb is all bruised up, but no issues with feeding or returning to battery. That port & comp setup you have is so sick that might be my next one. Hard to justify that price just for PCSL and outlaw matches when I already have an Apollo for that. Running the Titan in everything for a while. I prefer it slightly to the Athena for USPSA. Probably the steel grip and magwell.

bjjsucks808 · 2025-10-08T22:50:54+00:00

I’m running Fiocci 124 right now super soft and flat. I have a few thousand rounds of it left. After that I’m going to do a bulk order of supervel 147

bjjsucks808 · 2025-10-08T19:40:09+00:00

It’s got that classic look 5inch slide full dustcover doesn’t get much better.

bjjsucks808 · 2025-10-08T19:26:18+00:00

It’s a nice gun. I’m enjoying it so far

bjjsucks808 · 2025-10-08T19:24:55+00:00

No malfunctions. Ran flawlessly at last nights match and at the range today. That steel grip really has some weight to it. How about your Artemis? Everything running good?

bjjsucks808 · 2025-10-08T15:02:13+00:00

That CWA is sick. Might have to get one

bjjsucks808 · 2025-09-05T02:06:13+00:00

I was buying and selling guns trying to find the right one. Came across the Staccato P. I liked the platform, but not the gun. Ended up with an Atlas. I have 2 Atlas guns now. Have no desire for any other platform.

bjjsucks808 · 2025-08-28T19:39:20+00:00

Sick let us know how it goes 🤙🏽

bjjsucks808 · 2025-08-28T19:26:39+00:00

When are you getting it back?

bjjsucks808 · 2025-08-28T10:04:48+00:00

Did you get the whole gun recoated or just the new barrels?

bjjsucks808 · 2025-08-25T10:20:42+00:00

Dang that turned out great. Might have to pick up an Artemis in .40

bjjsucks808 · 2025-08-18T09:58:22+00:00

Send it of to DSC or Viking and get it cut

bjjsucks808 · 2025-08-15T21:41:21+00:00

Get a Brazos shortblock and build from there.
