Hello all,

Firstly, thanks to everyone who had an opinion, thoughts and such to share when I first posted about what 2011 tier should I buy into.

So a lot has happened since I first posted. I shot a bunch of guns I could get my hands on and try out. Eventually,I landed on and purchased an Atlas Artemis v3 and then while I waited for it I went ahead and purchased an Alpha Foxtrot Romulus to tinker with and learn on. Since then I have also purchased an Atlas Titan v2 (the Osight is temporary while I wait for my SRO) and an Atlas Perfect Zero 4.6 Build kit (not pictured.

General notes on buying (my observations and opinions):

1. Atlas is the best production gun manufacturer and it’s not even close.

1.1 Atlas Alpha grip is the best grip I’ve encountered.

1. The v3 grips are much more pleasant in my hands than v2.
2. The Romulus is a fantastic platform to learn on and tinker with (and no painful “uh-oh” lessons learned on the Atlases). While being a better starting point than the Prodigy.
3. Shooting the Artemis is amazing, I started laughing after I shot the first mag. It’s just phenomenal.
4. Fitting and installing a thumb safety is annoying, ridiculous and generally a pain in the ass a tedious and patient process.
5. This can be a VERY expensive hobby, very quickly.
6. This community has been pretty awesome and I really appreciate it and you all.

Thanks for reading.

Notes, Upgrades to the Romulus (for those curious):

1. Comp correction was done in my garage, fairly easy and well worth it.
2. Double tap thumb safety was fitted and installed, not a fan of the big logo but it was the only shielded safety I could get.
3. Flat firing pin stop from EGW was fitted and installed.
4. Miller grip safety delete was installed and is damn near a perfect fit.
