drysideshooter Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have something similar. The poster that made the comment about RO's wanting extra hearing protection wasn't far off the mark. At the indoor range where I sometimes shoot it definitely calls attention to itself when it goes bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

818-DVC Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 is that factory slide lightening? I never seen ball cuts or holes in the spring tunnel like that from SV. that's a sweet shooter. JL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drysideshooter Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Thanks guys. It was built by Rusty Kidd using a SVI slide and frame. It's my first open gun and I bought it with really low round count. Here is another pic of the gun: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really aggressively stippled for sure. I like it, but my son doesn't. I ended up using Auto Comp as it's readily available locally and seemed to work fine.

Mat Price Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) I have an older 4 hole shueman hybrid with four holes and a monster comp. this thing is so flat and soft at 175 pf i drop 10 grains of hs6 under a115 it's amazing. But it's heavy it suits me. Doesn't seem loud to me no louder than my 9 major gun. But the folks around say it's horrid Edited May 26, 2012 by Mat Price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

38supPat Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm thinking about running that original top end at the Canadian Nationals this year, it'll take a lot of powder to make major but I do live shooting it....the RO's might not be happy with me.....

lneel Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Brandon can lighten the gun up quite a bit. Mobius cutout in the grip and internal slide work can get the weight down. I personally like the weight. Sure it slows transitions but sight recovery is faster. Brandon "can" make a grip out of titanium but whew!!! Titanium is ~11X the material cost of Carbon Steel. Also, I had one of the square port barrels....I replaced it within a month, too loud, too much powder, but sure kept the RO's back .

38supPat Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I'm happy with the plastic, to be honest the small amount of saving on splits isn't worth it to me, I'd rather drive the light gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfred Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I've seen those SVI open pistols on matches, they are really loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
