Would like to know if this Athena with say 3.5 pound trigger be fine for duty or carry/self defense as I am thinking of this handgun, but used for more carry and defense
The Athena is definitely a good option for duty/carry. That being said, I would personally choose the Ares for concealed work as it's a lot lighter weight and you can port the barrel.
Dude how do you stop the barrel link from falling down? My recoil spring always jumps up and knocks the link down and I can never get it to stay up. Spent an hour messing with it tonight! Finally it just decided to cooperate but I don’t know what I did right or wrong.
Q tips - indispensable cleaning tools. Fit perfectly in the rails and other hard to reach spots, they can also be dipped in your favorite cleaning solution and/or lube. Best of all - they’re cheap as hell.
Good information. I just held an Atlas Athena in my hands yesterday. I’m willing to sell my Staccato’s to get one now. I love it.
Oh yes... once you go Atlas it's hard to shoot anything else.
@@Joe_Farewell I believe you.
I have an xc. Seriously thinking about trading it in towards an athena. Am I ignorant for this?
@@a.d.c7941 No. I love my Athena. I do miss my XC sometimes, but every time I shoot my Atlas I’m reminded of why I upgraded.
Thank you so much. Really makes me feel better about my choice. Im excited to have my first Atlas and the Athena is my choice.
Thank you I just watched this to clean my Artemis
Hell yeah! Love to hear it.
Most helpful...I just purchased the Atlas Artemis RDS V2 Perfect Zero. I am anxious to take it out to the range.
Nice!! That's a solid choice.
Good video. Thank you.
Great info!
Thanks!!!!
Sure thing!

Wow you have no idea how my face lit up as soon as the video started and I heard you whistle. Immediately was 5 years old again

I always just put it in and then use a pick or skewer to line it up with the hole. Look at 11:20 in the video.
Great video but one slight correction...The "P" actually stands for Pterodactyl.
what holster are you using?

Is it okay to use gun butter for post cleaning lube/oil?
@@fabiosupreme7419 for sure.
