A very popular one here in Europe is the Norwegian Tronrud TE-Titan compensator. 3D printed titanium weighting 2.3oz /Standard or 3oz /Open version
some details here:
it’s incredibly effective and a funny side effect are the nice sparkles

I’ve been looking at these. I was thinking the 3.5 flats for both. Have you had any problems with them? How is the reliability?No issues so far. You can go with the 2.5 for 223 and the 3.5 dedicated for PCC. The difference in pull weight is negligible as you won’t notice it under match stress but it’s nice anyway to have a pound less for the 223. More important is the constant grip/trigger feeling from rifle to rifle.
-
...and just to add another option - I´m running CMC flats in all my ARs - the 2.5lbs straight in the 223s AR15 and the dedicated 3.5lbs straight PCC trigger in the AR9

clear! I already send Sven an email
it looks super. What is the red dot??
The main dot is a Kahles Helia RD. I like the small dot for precise aiming if needed (was needed very often at the PCC nationals...) As it can be turned very bright, I still drags the eye very fast. Side dot is a Geco. Not used often, just nice to have for the hard weak side leans.

Thanks! I’m shooting both. Handloads and factory ammo. You can tame the action by reducing the power factor noticeably. But playing around with buffers and springs changes the behavior of the rifle very much. I can’t tell you „the“ magic recipe as it all depends on your personal favorite style of holding the rifle and how you prefer the recoil (short and snappy, smooth ans slow, rolling...). For me, the short action of the above mentioned components felt best and resulted in closest and fastest double taps.
I came from a 16.75“, heavier Sabre Defence AR9. That one shot also pretty flat with the right buffer setup (Taccom 3stage with wave spring etc in that one) and could be shot fast. But compared, the Sabre compared to the light 3G felt like a Bimmer 220d station wagon compared to an older Porsche 911. The station wagon feels comfortable and can be brought to speed on the Autobahn as well. Just doesn’t go that fast through small narrow curvy roads. - the 3G feels like the Porsche - it is way more aggressive and responsive - you just have to watch out for the back breaking out and handle it with a firm grip and be always aware. You know what I mean? -
4 weeks ago, I won the German Nationals PCC with this 3G QC10 rifle
- only the following internals I’ve changed: buffer and spring to Kynshot 5006 with DAR AR10 rifle spring (short stroked), as trigger I’ve chosen a CMC PCC and charging handle is a Taclatch

I’ll be at a PCC match tomorrow. I’ll pack the K18i into my bag and try to take some pics.
-
The best feature of the new K18i in my opinion Is the “MaxLight” - there’s now an extra boost for the red dot available. Cuts down battery life but should improve the dot visibility on targets in bright mid day sunlight. Hosing on 1x is like shooting with just a red dot. Here’s a first impression of the “IPSC” reticle on a 25m indoor range (weather wasn’t that good yet to practice outside again) on a standard brightness setting and with the extra boost
-
Thank you mahamoti for the hint! I’ll search in that direction!

I have an old Sabre Defence XR15 9mm AR. It has a mil spec lower with a magwell insert for 9mm colt style mags. As we’re having a 10 round mag limit for rifles in Germany, lots of reloads are needed and fast reloads are vital. Lost a few seconds here and there at the last match. Now I’m looking for a good magwell / jet funnel for this kind of lower receiver. What’s your recommendation?
Thanks,
Sascha

The second dot’s brightness is the same as the main dot. Both are regulated together. You can use the second dot as an easy to find holdover for far or even very close distances (for example a clay pigeon on very close distance). Unfortunately the pics made with the phone don’t show the dots color and brightness nicely.
-
Here’s a live picture of the reticle on 50m indoor and 300m outdoor. On 50m the black point is a small patch, the targets on 300 are two IPSC targets and one IPSC 2/3 target below. The dot doesn’t come out nicely on the pictures. It’s much more bright in real life. Quality of the iPhone pics is also reduced. The glass is very bright and the field of view huge. I own a K16i with the SI1 reticle also. I like the new 3GR!
-
There was a test in the German gun mag "Caliber". Result was very promising (Hornady HAP 30mm @ 25m) finish and quality was excellent. As I heard in personal conversation they are planning to make clip version also. Maybe more info after IWA (German "shot show").
-
I've never had any issues with mine. It works fine from the first day on. Of course, you have to spend some work on the trigger but which revo trigger runs as fine as we want to from factory? An Apex hammer plus firing pin, some polishing and I got it. Shot some IPSC matches and a Steelchallenge with it in between and I'm really happy with it!

Hi Frants,
strike looks slightly out of center? Maybe, on 1 of 100 multiple issues come together like not properly seated primer plus a slightly outcenterd strike - voila, misfire... Could it be, that one chamber has a little bit worn cylinder stop notch? Or the star is worn a bit... Just food for thoughts...
Btw - I'm still waiting for your promised email after the Steelchallenge ;-)
Best regards,
Sascha

I've used it for my custom barreled 627 before. Just had to adjust the length.
-
It fits! My 929 fits with both, the comp or the dummy to my CR Speed WS Revo Holster.

What if the USPSA National Revolver Champion were awarded $20,000, with appropriately scaled prize money for the top five or ten finishers, plus a meaningful prize table for everybody else? Jerry would be back. Rob would be there, too. Ricky and Sascha would fly in. Bjorn and Nils would dust off their wheels again. And Matt would actually practice.
Nobody in the revolver community would willingly miss a big event like that.
Sounds good to me
But to be realistic - I guess, our Revolver group is way to small for the big companies to spend money on.
To the idea of a tournament - we have this kind of tournament here in Switzerland, Austria and Germany called the "Top Wheelgunner Trophy". A series of Revolver only matches from Revo shooters for Revo shooters with a final for the best 30 shooters. Works quite good. Of course, also there we have ups and downs with more or less shooters. But basically, it works.

But not to forget, distances here are much different compared to yours. There are usually no shooters from northern Germany. The longest trip, I made to a match of the TWT has been ~550km (single distance) by car (southern Germany to a match in Austria)..

Unfortunately, my day off at the WS is Wednesday. Otherwise I really would have liked to join you at the OK Match!
-
Yes. Buy once, cry once. Same with Hearthco clips. You can reload the starlines several times so the invest is worth it. And the fit of starlines with Heartco's is just perfect and always the same.
-
Not worth the hassle. Just use 38 Short Colt brass with Hearthco clips and you're done. You can't size the 9mm completely to fit the 357 chamber. The chamber needs to be reamed to fit the 9mm.
-
I like new toys but in reality, I don't believe this gun will not do anything more than a 627 with short Colt cases. That's why I don't understand all the excitement.
Have you ever traveled to a major match by plane and tried to get enough ammo with you? The official allowed qty is 5kg ammo according to IATA rules. Even with short colts and let's say 125grs bullets, you can never get enough with you. Buying match ammo also won't work with short colts. So if the rule change comes also for IPSC, it would be perfect for shooting 9mm match ammo. But even for local matches - no more need for reloading 38shorties. I like the idea of a competitive 9mm Revo. Shooting 6Major with 38sc and my loved 586 combined with the opportunity of shooting 8minor with the 929 sounds very good to me.
-
There is a second model of 9mm revolver introduced by S&W called a 986, I have no other info on it, was wondering if anyone has an idea??
seems to be a 6-rnd 9x21 as posted on this italian site: https://www.bignami.it/it/difesa-sicurezza/prodotti-it/?cat0=101&cat1=153&cat2=AL5&idProdotto=360532#1
Muzzle brake suggestions?

Brownells Germany, Austria for example are selling them. Maybe you can get one via Brownells US? This is a way for us the other way round to get US parts here. Another option may be ordering one from an online shop in Europe. Don’t know if there’s one exporting?
