Let customers speak for us
from 333 reviewsThe red dot plates are top notch! Perfect fit, came with all require hardware needed.
Good quality product and an amazing customer service.
This a well made plate.The junk plastic that came with the fn502 was horrible,shame on FN. So extremely happy to have found a great American company making this.
Super nice. Only thing that could make it better is if it came with screws.
Red dot plate fit flush. Absolutely beautiful.
Phenomenal Product compared to OEM plate. The plate that came from FN was a bad casting. The front lugs had bubbles in the plastic that collapsed when I mounted my optic. Usable, but not ideal, and no way I would think of using my optic to rack the slide. I just feel much more confident in my investment with this plate. 10/5 stars. Thanks guys.
Plates are great as always. Perfect machining and they had to hold my order a few days because their screw machinist was behind… they included extra SRO mounting screws free of charge for thedelay. Excellent plates, excellent customer service. What more could

Best Holosun 509t plate on the market
Absolutely perfect fit on my 500 & Shockwave, both. EPS Carry fits best, standard EPS has a little overhang on the sides, but not enough to bother me personally.
Fit perfect and looks good. Would buy again.
Many folks recommended Athena as an excellent product. Shipped quick. Came with all screws for installation. Don’t forget to order the Loctite! Very simple installation and super quality! See pics for install.
No issues, fit exactly as it was suppose to. Good quality part.Shipped and arrived sooner than I expected. That’s always nice.
Tight fit. The screws that came with it fit perfectly. Appears to be quality product and a solid company.
Fit is perfect and its made from materials that will last a lifetime.
I originally purchased a Tango Down mounting plate for the S&W M&P 2.0 to mount my ACRO. The Tango Down mounting plate was too thick and caused the ACRO to sit too high and causing me to not be able to co-witness with my suppressor sights. My gun also didn't fit in my Safariland red dot holster.
I spent weeks searching for other mounting plates that were thin enough to fix the above issues, but maintained the strength needed for my line of work. I found the Athena mounting plate. The plate appeared to be well made and even came with longer screws than the Tango Down. The guy that installed the Athena plate commented how well the Athena plate was made and the quality of the longer screws were superior to the Tango Down plate. I can now co-witness using my suppressor sights and my gun now fits perfectly in my Safariland holster. I am very happy with my purchase and this company.

Where are Athena Precision products made?
All Athena Precision Firearm accessories and components are engineered, manufactured, finished, and shipped from our facility in Salt Lake City, Utah that started as a small family machine shop in 2012. CNC Pros. We are a veteran-owned American company.
What are the advantages of barrel & slide porting?
The primary benefit is improved recoil control. By reducing vertical movement, barrel and slide porting allows the gun to settle back into the sight picture more naturally instead of jumping high and forcing a full reset between shots.
Most shooters notice:
- Faster follow-up shots
- Flatter recoil impulse
- Improved control during rapid fire
- Less fatigue during longer shooting sessions
For recoil-sensitive shooters, proper barrel and slide porting can make a pistol significantly easier to shoot well without changing grip or ergonomics.
