ATI Titan .45- Would you trust your life with it???

[acejoe100]

I recently traded away my favorite carry gun, a Kahr K40, and I am temporarily looking for its replacement. The deal was absolutely too sweet to refuse. I had picked up an ATI Titan .45 at a price that I couldn't resist, and I am thinking of carrying it for a while. I have never owned one of these, and I know that as with any gun, opinions on it vary drastically. The only guns that I have ever trusted enough to carry have been Glocks, a Kahr K40, or a S&W .38sp. All that I care about is that the gun will go bang 100% of the time if ever needed. Those guns were never ever a doubt.

So my question is........do you or would you trust an ATI as your primary carry weapon? Why or why not? Thanks

Nice looking .45. Don't know anything about them but it looks good.

Would change to Wilson mags then see how it runs before I would trust

Not sure, from what I remember they have gone through alot of testing to get certified. The Turks have made some very nice weapons in the past so if this is the one I am thinking of( Turkish built).Based only on what I have read. Sure,however i would have to range test it alot to be comfortable enough to make it a daily driver.

Only way to be sure is to run a bunch of ammo through it, the kind you'll be carrying, and see how it does. It's a proven design, at least, but even the big names can let a lemon out of the factory now and again.

same as with most guns. Inspect it, use a known brand magazine and go run a bunch of rounds through it, making sure you also run the rounds you plan on carrying in the gun for SD. If it works well why not turst it. I picked an STI Sparten, very similar to your gun pictured above, cleaned it and ran some rounds through it and it worked great, very accurate and I would not hesitate to carry it anywhere. But I will never understand when someone says they just got rid of their favorite gun? I have bought and sold guns but there one I would never part with, my daily carry Kimber compact aluminum.

I owned one for about a day. After several hits to the forehead with spent brass, FTF, and FTE, I got rid of it. It's not a RIA or Citadel at all. Horrible gun. I would not trust it at all. Sorry for being so blunt but it is the truth.

Just replace the recoil spring assembly with a colt and get good magazines and you should be good to go! That's what I did with the one I had and it ran good but only after I did that!

Yes, but wouldn't you agree that you shouldn't have to do that in the first place? I'd have a hard time living with that myself.

If you start getting FTEs, and you really want to keep the gun, you should try replacing or tuning the extractor.
