But the guns.
Mostly 5" short dust cover with 3 ports comps.

My first instinct was to have more ports, popples, whatever, closer to the chamber where you have more pressure.
Mine too, that's why I'm considering switching to a shorty.

Steel Challenge was mentioned.... What do people use there for Open guns?
Factory 124g ammo mostly.

Actually the dot moves alot less with 124g.
I did consider the 2 port comp on the current setup but kinda leaning towards adding a single popple hole with it.
I'm not sure how effective the overall process will be with this little gas but trying to get a scope on what's the best setup might be.

- Reloading is illegal in israel.
- No factory 147 ammo is available, just 115g/124g.
- Yes I am shooting a "2011" with a steel grip. -
What's the most effective combination of barrel length, compensator design and popples configuration for a minor open gun?
At the moment I'm shooting a 5" barrel, full dust cover, 3 port comp and no popples with 115G/124G magtech factory ammo.
The gun feels very soft, but it's not as flat as i'd want it to be. (It's plenty flat with major ammo, but it's not available down here)
Thinking of rebuilding it as a shorty (4.25" full dust cover) with a 2 chamber comp and a single popple hole.
Discuss.
Thank you!

Throwing another variation to the mix, what about popple holes?
I shot a glock 19C (2 side by side popple holes) with a 2 port short comp, shot surprisingly flat with factory ammo.
What's the overall best mix of barrel length/popples/comp for minor?

Does the Romeo 3XL fit RTS2 mounts?

I received an update from the company that the model will be approved from 1..2020 by ipsc committee .

I can confirm this as well, legal for IPSC Standard division starting January 2020. -

I love mine
The thumbrest itself can be inserted to any of the three holes in line, then the angle can be chosen by aligning it with those other holes
Who makes it?

So after 200 rounds I can say I am very satisfied. The brass slightly dings the very corner of the red dot but that does not cause any ejection issues so far. Monday will have more oppty to shoot on level 1 IPSC match so will have more info to add.
Here is link to video how it shoots: https://imgur.com/2urrW6J
Any updates on this setup? do you have a picture of the modified mount without the optic? -
As title says: Which oakley prizm len is better for red dot shooting, the tr22 or tr45?
*I mostly shoot in doors, and when I do get to shoot outside it's in a desert eenvironment.

I had all FOUR sizes: short, medium, long and VERY long, and eventually settled on medium.
What do you consider medium?

Looking at other models with the same grip, I've noticed the 2 screws on the trigger guard and a very distinct single line inside - which may suggest the grip is actually 2 pieces.
I mentioned this earlier in the thread and can confirm it is a two piece.

Wonder what the lower front grip screw is for?
It's a two piece design, you can see where the two pieces meet. But it was seamless
and smooth. You can tell a gunsmith did the final touches and not a machine.

I just got back from Bul, got to handle the Bullesteros for a bit.
The grip is awesome, the texturing is actually quite mild but feels good.The barrel+comp design is interesting, the two "poppers" are actually part
of the barrel and are on an "island" so the barrel is longer than it seems, not the comp.
New trigger feels a bit nicer than my x-line trigger kit too. (and the flat short
trigger shoe is a god send for my small hands)
Full details and many more pictures: Right here.

A sneak peak of the long awaited Bul stainless grip and the new comp/slide
design they've been appartently working on with jorge. Cool.

Probably Eli Elkobi? -
They are quality guns. They just run. They do not accept STI magazines,
but the Bul magazines are VERY reliable and don't require much tunning. (if any)
I've shot a few STI's and the Bul guns seem to be of higher quality, more reliable,
and the full dust cover model shoots way flatter than the DVC open.*
*shooting 9m"m minor shelf ammo. (Almost no one shoots major in Israel)
-
what holster is that?
-
I have no problem with the grip, just compared it to the STI.
I do need a shorter trigger shoe because I'm adjusting my grip so my finger will sit correctly on the triggercausing me to lose some grip force. will be getting a Geppart X-line from Atlas soon. (XS/FLAT).

It's awesome. I'm just a 1000 rounds in because the season hasn't startyed yet.
It shoots flat. less flat in my hands at the moment, still recovering from an injurybut getting better every day. -ZERO feeding/FTE issues. It's clockwork.
I had the chance to shoot an STI DVC open gun this week and then shot a magthorugh mine right after, the bul felt softer and flatter. The only thing I prefer on
the STI is the grip, which feels somewhat smaller to me. (i have small hands)
Here's a video of me shooting with it 500 rounds in.
FYI I'm a new shooter and I'm aware I need to improve in preety much everything.
Most effective minor open gun config?
in Open Pistols

Thank you for your reply!
Would you make those holes in a row or in a V?
What's your take on the shorty option?
- I will probably never get to shoot major with this gun again.
- Yes, the magtech ammo lead up the comp real fast.
