Sidearms & Scatterguns NightHawk or Atlas

I shot a buddy's Nighthawk at one range session so my experience there is limited, but I'm on my third Atlas. If you have the money to spend I would pick Atlas every single time. 2011s is their primary gig and they do them right.
I’m 2011 poor.
I’m a 1911 fan through and through. Own several. 3”, 4”, 4.25” and 5”. Multiple cartridge chamberings .
Earlier in the year I added a WC EDC X9. It’s been an outstanding. Carries only slightly thicker than commanders. 100% reliable. Extremely accurate. Sloughs off recoil beautifully.
WC hit a home run with these.
It sure fired up my thirst for running 9mm again.
That being said....I also wanted something larger-framed that I’d run hard at the range and have fun banging out steel targets.
I spoke with the dealer I used on the prior WC order. As luck would have it he had a TRS Comp on order with Nighthawk. It hadn’t been kitted yet so he could still make changes. It was not spoken for...just going to his stock.
I jumped on it. Added some cosmetic changes as well as their IOS system for RMR.
I’m not sure when it will be here. Wish I had the funds to buy a Staccato P-DUO as well.
Looking forward to it, though. Will have some 90 & 100gr high-velocity loads ready to test in it.....wanting to see how smooth the comp will run.
At that time I made this order I was unaware of the Atlas guns. They appear to be nightly solid and sharp looking.

Alchemy seems to be very solid and hitting on all cylinders....super products, fairly priced, strong customer service.
They have also released a 2011....or at least are taking orders for it.
I have owned an Atlas Titan and Nyx, but I have only shot a friend's Nighthawk. IMHO, there is no comparison, Atlas is the way to go. I have talked with Adam many times on the phone. He provides great customer service, and his pistols are silly accurate.
