mike_pinto Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Was extremely curious so I picked one up and have been playing with it. Had a well known smith put two holes in the barrel and stabilizer holes in the side of the comp. Threw a DP Pro on a Cheely mount and stippled the grip. That's all. It shoots great. I had a heck of a time getting it to cycle my handloads, (extractor tension and OAL) but it runs like a scalded ape now. Very tight gun and extremely accurate. I have put almost 1000 rounds through it and it looks like it's going to be a great gun, not just for an entry level Open gun. I know these have been reviewed before but I thought I would throw this out there. If anyone has any questions or is thinking about getting one, let me know and I will help the best I can.

abb1 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Sounds like you got a solid gun which should last you a while. Just for interest sake, how much of a difference did the 2 holes in the barrel and the stabilizer hole make? I hear mixed reviews on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 It is kind of a strange effect. The gun was flat enough the dot didn't come out of the window but kinda stung the palm each shot. My DVC in 38SC does the same thing. The holes actually softened that more than kept the muzzle down, although there is slightly less rise. All in all, I would suggest it on these guns since you don't have to modify the slide at all. The lens gets a little smokey when shooting the BBI's with the holes, but that's easy to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Curious if they come with a mount and dot sight, web site shows them on gun but not in any written description ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mro111lland Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 They come with a mount but no dot I ditched the mount right away and got a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Haha. Yeah, it's wearing a Cheely mount for a Delta Point Pro but the c-more mount was OK. I am pretty sure Benny drilled new mount holes for the optic,. Triangle Shooting Sports did the holes and not sure what he used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooldylocks Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 You should try some 9mm major in it and see if it runs! Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) It does. I threw a 7lb spring in it and tried my production loads, and it tried like hell. Just too tight still. Edited December 30, 2016 by mike_pinto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Good to know. So probably with the extra oomph of a major round it would work. Quite intriguing. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Yeah, the 9 major rounds I tried cycled beautifully. The AA major loads with the 125's were like butter. My reloads took a little tuning of the extractor to get right. Found out it was the oral and my magazines not letting go early enough. I have chrono'd about every make of open gun out there and these are as soft as any I have felt. The stainless gripped ones are pretty hard to beat but they are sooo heavy.
