Triple Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Hi Guys. I am wanting to order a 9 mm pistol open. What is the best Comp, which would you recommend for 9mm Bull Barrel 5 1/4 and 6 popples holes. Bedell - Cheely - Akai - EGW ? Thanks Edited September 1, 2014 by Triple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman2733 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Cheely comp really seems to work. Dang a 9mm with 6 poppel holes dont see that often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Cheely comp really seems to work. Dang a 9mm with 6 poppel holes dont see that often For sure. With 6 holes it might not need a comp! Just put one of Matt Cheely's new comps on it and fill the 9mm case all the way up with a good 9MAJOR powder then smash a light bullet in there!

Shadow Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 With six popple holes, you shouldn't need much down force in a comp. You might want to try the Akai with no top port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnyglock Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I just built two open guns in 9 with six holes. For this set up the Akai two gill comp is the best ive tried. If your running no holes the Cheely is excellent. Two holes Jarred's comp is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calvinc78 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I had the Ti Cheely comp on a full size with no holes and hated it. I switched it for an Azone comp and way softer but proberly to much comp for 6 holes. The Akai comp seems to be hot right now with the ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Ok, thanks for the replies. So far according I understand, I should try the new Akai, you can also operate the Cheely. Jager's where can I see? Occur to them any other alternative? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hello: Wow 6 holes in the barrel for 9mm. That is a lot and will require more powder and be harder on the hand. With that many holes a weight on the end will be all you need. Try a Bedell steel comp from Shooters Connection. If a comp is designed correctly you don't need any holes in the barrel. When adding holes you are making the barrel shorter since gas is relieved sooner so more powder is needed. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switched from the old to the new and it is a fantastic comp at about 175 PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Do shorter comps like lighter PF's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a whole world out there so many Open shooters never experience above 170pf, they just work up to major and stop. PS: if you've never tried 115s you're really missing out.

donnyglock Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 aircooled6racer I disagree. You don't need hardly any more powder and its actually softer on the hands than any other set up I have tried. (that's a lot) theres a reason Shay at Akai sells a lot of Katana models.

calvinc78 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) It was the new comp... I tried multiple powders and bullet waits 124's & 115's..... True blue. Silhouette. 3n38. It came on a new freedom gun. Swapped comps and was a totally different gun. PF would range 170-173 never pushed it any further Edited September 2, 2014 by calvinc78 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried the Cheely comp, but heard lots of good things (confused me though because it doesn't look like much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRobson Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I currently shoot a full length 9mm with a brazos thundercomp at 174PF. I had a new gun built with the cheely comp. Waited 6 months to get it and sold it after the first time I shot it. To me the cheely comp is pretty flat but violent in the hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerBaron Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think I understand what he means. my tanfog eric custom (12 barrel ports, 2 chamber comp) shoots super flat but it's quite violent (as in push back into the hard quite hard). makes sense to me.

AWLAZS Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I have been running Cheely comps since he started building them. I have switched over from the Bedell comp. Its nice and flat. I had him add a couple barrel ports to speed the little bit of dot movement up. It is a nice set up. CK Arms guns are set up the same way. The way a gun tracks/feels is a personal thing. We all see and feel things differently. Spring rates bullet/powder combo's and our skill set all come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jid2 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I really like 2 holes to flatten things out, both shooting and CFD analysis show that holes really help in creating down force. You can search for posts by me and see the whole comp design CFD thread. I'm really liking 2 3/16" holes and the Titanium comp I designed. The gun is so light and easy to point, but it has a nice recoil impulse. Edited September 3, 2014 by jid2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 jid2: your gun is way too pretty to post on a public forum!! you're just making everyone else feel bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 JID2: Your gun is 9 mm M, which is the configuration of the bullets? The chambers look great Guys, the exchange of information we are offering is very interesting and productive. We are short of Akai user reviews. Has anyone tried to use factor between 165,000 / 170,000 and what is the behavior? Thanks to all for collaborating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hello: I have tried most of the comps out there. Some are better than others. I have also shot a lot of different open pistols. Lastly I have talked to some big name GM's about there pistols and what they like and what did not work for them. Saying all that it really comes down to what you like. I have tried the Akai comp and for me it did not work well for my setup. So I ended up designing and building my own comp. I like trying different things, it just adds to the fun for me. If you want to try a Akai comp buy one and try it. Only you can tell if it will work for you. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jid2 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 My setup is 9mm major. 124 gr bullets using 3N37 or Autocomp at around 170PF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Eric, I do not want to buy and try a Comp Akai, I'm looking for tips to see which ones advise me and then I will choose, but all the information you we provide we is very enriching. JID2: Good seput, for its power factor. Please not fail to advise or giving their opinion, it is very helpful. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Triple: It would help if you gave the diameter of the holes in the barrel. If they are large holes like the SVI IMM guns you may not need or want a comp on the end. It will also depend on the placement of the holes as well "V" or even side placement. A picture tells a lot. I am guessing you are outside the USA so millimeter diameter will work for the hole sizes. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
