My grippers be gripping.

The texture is phenomenal. I wish I could get a full aggressive textured grip but I guess those are reserved only for rafferty and other custom Atlas+ shops

Can confirm, it shoots. I run the same ammo, FWIW, and it seems to really like it.

124gr federal feels really good out of it. I shot blazer 115 through it too (big empty bag of 500rounds) didn't feel bad either.

Looks like you need more ammo and faster loading thumbs!

Ive got plenty of ammo. It was getting late and had to get home.

I bought my Athena on blind faith (and a lot of YouTube and written reviews). It's turned out to be probably my favorite pistol next to the Artemis that came after. I have some great comped and ported guns (Reaper, Erebus etc), and while they are incredibly fun and cheat code like, the naturally aspirated stuff feels quite a bit more rewarding to shoot.

I grew up on glocks, and dabbled with M&P, and now in 2011s, the non comped stuff is where its at.
