Atlas Gunworks Apollo v3
Introduced for 2024, the Apollo is the Atlas Gunworks pistol built “without the constraints of a specific competition division.” Atlas combined the best elements of the Athena and the Erebus into a 4.6-inch, ported, bull-barrel 9mm and called it the ultimate fire-breathing Perfect Zero machine — their words: “If you are looking for a fair fight, find another pistol.”
The Apollo v3 carries every v3 platform upgrade: Vermont-machined billet slide, v3 optics plate, Glock-style interchangeable front sight, patent-pending angled grip bushings and the refined v3 grip texture. It weighs 37.44 oz empty and runs a 9 lb recoil spring. Dealers offer it in multiple DLC and PVD finishes, with left-handed and high-grip configurations seen in the market.
Cajun Gun And Gear is the only authorized Atlas Gunworks dealer in Louisiana. Apollo v3 pistols in stock are listed below; any other configuration can be ordered — call 337.999.0373.

Who the Apollo v3 is for
Competition shooters who want a ported, flat-shooting 2011 and are not locked into a division that bans ports — Open-style practical matches, steel, and the range. If your division requires a plain barrel, the Athena v3 or Titan v3 is the right call; if you want a true compensator for Open or 3-Gun, see the Erebus v3.

Atlas introduced the Apollo in 2024 and now builds it on the v3 Perfect Zero platform.
