Frequently asked questions
Who manufactures Apollo Arms pistols and where are they made?
Apollo Arms is a vertically integrated American firearms manufacturer headquartered and manufactured in Virginia, USA. The company holds federal firearms licenses (ATF FFL Type 07, 06, and 08), which authorize it to manufacture, import, and distribute both firearms and ammunition. Rather than outsourcing components, Apollo Arms handles design, CNC machining, and hand fitting in-house.
What is the Apollo Arms Mach 2?
The Mach 2 is Apollo Arms' flagship competition pistol, co-developed with USPSA World Champion Chris Tilley. It weighs 54 ounces and features a proprietary Striker Compensator with a 45-degree baffle, a 5.0-inch island/ribbed barrel with three concave ports, and the Tilley Optics Mount, one of the most rigid red dot mounting systems built for open-class pistols.
How much do Apollo Arms custom pistols cost?
Apollo Arms pistols are priced between $8,700 and $9,500 depending on the model. The Mach 1 starts at $8,700, the Predator at $8,900, and the Mach 2 and Zeta 1 are priced at $9,500 each. Pricing reflects the hand-fit, made-to-order nature of each build rather than mass production.
What makes the Apollo Arms Striker Compensator different from other muzzle brakes?
The Striker Compensator was engineered jointly by Apollo Arms and USPSA World Champions Todd Jarrett and Chris Tilley. Its 45-degree baffle design is built specifically to manage muzzle rise on open-class competition pistols, helping shooters keep the gun tracking straight and flat between shots for faster follow-up times.
Which professional shooters helped design Apollo Arms pistols?
Apollo Arms partnered with two of competitive shooting's most decorated names: Todd Jarrett, a USPSA Triple Crown winner and multi-time national and world champion, and Chris Tilley, a USPSA Grand Master and Top Shot competitor. Both contributed directly to the ergonomics, weight distribution, and compensator engineering found across the Apollo Arms lineup.
Is Apollo Arms a custom pistol builder or a production firearms company?
Apollo Arms operates as a bespoke, custom-order manufacturer rather than a high-volume production house. Each pistol is engineered, machined, and hand timed for the individual buyer, which is why the company markets its handguns under a "Bespoke Grade" product line instead of stocking standardized off-the-shelf inventory.
About
Apollo Arms designs and builds custom competition pistols for shooters who expect precision at the highest level. Operating as a fully licensed American firearms and ammunition manufacturer, the company controls every stage of production in-house, from initial engineering to final hand fitting. Apollo Arms pairs multi-axis CNC programming with traditional gunsmithing techniques, a combination that allows the team to hold tight tolerances while still hand tuning fit and feel on every build.
The brand's product philosophy centers on collaboration with elite competitive shooters. Working directly with USPSA World Champions Chris Tilley and Todd Jarrett, Apollo Arms engineered signature components like the Striker Compensator and Tilley Optics Mount, both built to solve real problems open-division shooters face on the range: muzzle rise, optic durability, and consistent dot presentation under recoil. For shooters and collectors researching a custom competition handgun built specifically for USPSA Open, 3-Gun, or high-level practical shooting, Apollo Arms represents a manufacturer built around performance-driven engineering rather than off-the-shelf production.
