    Nice unboxing!!!! I picked the Apollo compact recently as well and let me say it feels and looks good in the hands (pause)!!!! It’s a solid firearm like you say that slide doesn’t move very solid. Like you told me that grip isn’t bad very solid but with the good I only have one bad. I purchased the Elite Black (Black Guns Matters). It has alittle bit of hang up on the disconnect. Ima shot some rounds down range, LFA says give 200 if the cerakote doesn’t break in I’ll send it off to them for a quick fix. Nothing like the prodigy that safety literally broke left side. Both companies have great CS so it is what it is. This is my model of one, others will have different opinions. Still for the price I rather start below a grand then make my personal improvement then to be over a grand going closer to staccato. Not comparing it to staccato but still a good choice!!!

    • @Uncleprepper1
      @Uncleprepper1  9 місяців тому

      That cerakote definitely has to be worked down. I literally oiled and racked mine over 500 times. Then cleaned it and repeated the racking. Before shooting it the first time. Then at the range after 100 rounds, took it apart, cleaned and oiled it again. No issues after the first 2 or 3 mags.
