Akkid17 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) I bought a pistol from another shooter in 38sc and it runs great but I hate not being able to shoot in the winter outside because I don't want to just throw away all that brass that I can't find. And 9mm major or minor would be perfect for lost brass matches and winter don't want to pick brass matches. I have a bar-sto barrel cert so that's where I'm getting the barrel so now I just need to find a comp that will work for major and minor loads well. All help is appreciated, Ben Edited April 7, 2013 by Akkid17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Ben I am pretty sure if you get a comp for major it will not work all that well with minor loads. Your welcome to share my steelmaster I have enough mags to go around now. Come guys are just shooting 9mm ammo in their 38 super comp guns and the round headspaces off the extractor.

Akkid17 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Does anyone know how bar-sto barrels handle 9 major or should I just keep it minor and save the 38 super comp for major? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Your fine for major Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akkid17 Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 I figured as much but I haven't really heard/read of many (if any) people using bar-sto, usually kkm, storm lake, kart, schuemann and Briley but I've only been poking around in the uspsa/action pistol stuff for a little while and I just began looking into open and rebarreling. Amazing what a killer deal on an open gun will do to you. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40S&W Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I got my 2 port comp to work so, so, for 9mm minor (145PF) using HS-6 powder & either small rifle primers or small magnum primers, these primers make sure all the powder is burned. Might want to try a one port comp for minor. I'm going to try one when I get around to it. Don't know how much better if any it will be. Maybe someone on this forum could chime in.

warpspeed Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Barsto makes a great barrel for 9 major. Order now as their lead times are 10-12 weeks ARO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought more ports than necessary would affect things. Wouldn't they just be obsolete after passing through the ports one needs? I can see how compensation would be affected if you don't have enough, but not too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
