    TruBor compensator question

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    Its very good. I have never shot the barrel version without the side ports. So I am solely trying to reduce muzzle flip. It may be that I already have the better set up and just don't know it. I was considering having popples put in to reduce flip. I am running the Brazos lightning slide. Bob from Brazos told me don't put popples in for 9mm. Not enough gas to run the popples and the comp. Direct quote. So I am thinking the side ports are also robbing comp efficiency as far as muzzle flip. I could be splitting hairs, but that's what we do in open, right?

    Pretty much. I feel it's marginal. I almost am thinking of doing the t2 then adding ports and testing. A set of ports at a time... Hmmmm

    I just built a 9 major open gun with a Thundercomp 2 Barrel. I have it running pretty good and pretty flat, but I am going to get the Trubor barrel with T2 without the Brazos side ports to see if it runs even flatter. I think with 9 Major if you want a flat shooter you need all the gas you can get going straight up. I will let you know how it works out. If I was in your shoes I would get the T2 without the 6 side ports. My current load is 115 GN Montana Gold Bullet JHP 8.9 GN HS6 Fed Small Rifle Primers 1.165. Very accurate. 173 PF

    How's the dot track...because they claim with the side ports it makes it go straight up and down....assuming you have perfect grip.

    excellent, T

    Hello: You will have to fit the comp to the slide or maybe not. The hood will have to be cut, the lower lugs will have to be cut, ream the chamber for 9mm, correct link installed and the timing checked. Fairly easy job if you know what you are doing. Thanks, Eric

    thats what i needed to know. Thank you.

    TruBor compensator question

    I have a T1 comp in 9mm, looking for a bigger comp and came across the "Thundercomp 2" from brazos. Its essentially a t2 but with 3 ports on each side and wondering if its worth it...So my questions are:

    Will the "Thundercomp 2" be better than the standard T2 comp? (preferably looking for experience with this comp direct.

    I have a gunsmith to do work if necessary, but will this require much since its already a "TruBor" barrel?

    The website says its chambered for a .355...knowing that 38 and 9x19 is the same diameter but anything else need to be done to run 9mm?

    Anyone have some decent load info to start with? Currently I'm running 8.2gr HS6 with a 125 B&B bullet, and a LRP. 170-172pf.

    aaaand go!

    550b primer feeding problem

    in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment

    Posted

    Ive had the same problem with many many many rounds through my 550b. I ended up not realizing the screws that held the primer action bar...i guess you'd call it...were way too tight. I loosened them up a little, re adjusted, replaced the tip of the primer tube, set the adjustment of the primer cup and cleaned it all...after that it worked like a champ! I just make sure i clean it and re adjust after every couple thousand rounds loaded.

    Which thumb rest with a cheely 90 degree mount

    in Open Pistols

    Posted · Edited by Ub3RDoRK

    I have a 90 degree set back mount looking for a thumb rest . I like the placement of the go gun thumb rest with it for bigger hands. Ive tried the slide stop thumb rest and it wasn't in the perfect spot for me.

    So my question is, will the go gun thumb rest work with this optic mount?

    Why do pros choose a vertical mount vs a 90 degree?

    I can see the point of right to left arrays. I as well am right handed w/left eye dominance. I guess i haven't really noticed it with my 90 degree mount....or maybe I've overcome this issue. I've been shooting open for about 2 months now and I guess I'm still just learning different equipment and what works for me. It's just expensive!

    As for the ejection, I see how that could be a problem. But I have a tuned aftec in my turbor and it runs like a top so I'd hate to change anything. I guess I'm just trying to find the best advantage in this sport.

    I had someone mention to me at a match today that they chose a vertical mount for their C-more vs a 90 degree because "most pro's do it". I understand his choice since he was running 38 super with 3 holes in the barrel but i didn't quite understand the comment about how the "pros choose" their vertical mount.

    After thinking about it..i do see a majority of people using the vertical from various manufacturers, but why?

    I currently have a 90 degree cheely and seem fine with it but when i pointed his gun it felt different somehow....almost quicker? I've been racking my brain debating on making the switch?

    The only pro i can think of is a lower sight picture to resemble an iron sight when switching platforms....but thats it.

    input?

    Astigmatism Problem for Open Division?

    in Open Pistols

    Posted

    I've shot production for a while, going form irons to a dot with a heavy astigmatism was a blessing. I generally see 2 guns with both eyes open where i had to can't my head to the left (right handed/left eye dominant) now shooting open it makes it MUCH easier to track the dot and get on target even with 2 red dot sight pictures. It took me a long time to get used to it but now i can differentiate which is my actual gun lol.
