Glockman1000 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I guess I'm a real oddball, I use three wraps of teflon tape. It's held tight for over 400 rounds. Last time I cleaned the gun, I spun it off & just wiped the old tape away on the barrel threads & the inside of the comp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unregistered Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Anyone shooting 9mm major using Silhouette? What's your load? Can 3N38 work in such a short load? I'll be using 124gr bullets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGlock Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 3n38 works quite well.. As always work with a chrono.. Ive been using 7.5 grains to make a reliable stout minor load. About 150pf. 8.2 will probably get you right about 168.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 150pf. 8.2 will probably get you right about 168.. Would that be a compressed load? Sounds very tight... I use 3N38 in .38 Supercomp and it is decently topped up.

shooter.860 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) my open glock ran flawless at Area 7 with autocomp at 7 grains with a 124. Edited September 30, 2012 by shooter.860 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I tried Silo, I had worked up a few loads to test. Todd K came out with his Chrono and I had a handfull left with 7.6 or 7.7 gr. they averaged >1400fps (174 pf) and todd tried them. He said it was pretty soft and like the appearance of the brass. If I could find Autocomp I would certainly try that but as you know HS-6 is readily available here.

Just wrap it on, screw on the comp, and good to go? Yup, thread the comp on, starts getting tight about halfway, pretty tight by the time it gets to index up with the slide. You can take it off by hand & re apply as you go. I carry a roll in the my shooting bag just in case. So far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krommel Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm also planning on building myself an open glock using a g17/22 gen4 on my return to the philippines next summer. Can anyone tell me if all of the carver parts are available there? I'ved red in the internet that glockworx will soon be opening its doors in the PI but can't seem to find dealers of carver mounts, and drop-in threaded glock barrels and comps. Your help and info would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unregistered Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Beautiful! Is that slide racker long enough to prop the gun up for table starts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GorillaTactical Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Beautiful! Is that slide racker long enough to prop the gun up for table starts? the thumb rest and slide racker are about the same length, so it's a funky balance, gotta take the time to balance it just right for table starts.

Noximus03 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I normally use a 140mm mag to prop my gun up unless it clearly states I can't do that in the stage description. Most often, the fact that my comp is squared allows me to just stand the gun upright on the table (see my latest video for a prime example).

Flexmoney Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I normally use a 140mm mag to prop my gun up unless it clearly states I can't do that in the stage description. I would not allow that, under the rules. You can't add props to a stage. (probably a discussion for the rules forum, not here...and there are past threads on it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
