anilson Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hi All, Interested in your experiences with comps and barrel porting. Please only post if you have some data or real life experience (The comp i use is the best, does not help) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 But the comp I use is the best! The only comps I have experience with are Cheely. I can tell you his newest comp is much better than his original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jid2 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Data in this thread, I put a bunch of stuff in on the 2nd page. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=186687&hl=+cfd I ended up with two 3/16" holes, and a 3 port titanium compensator where you start with smaller ports and get bigger.

martyg00 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Very subjective. Like asking what is the best pool cue? Good luck. Marty A-7424 Edited October 15, 2014 by martyg00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I think jid2 did a pretty good job of making it less subjective, but we would benefit from having the same visuals of everyone else's comp. to do a side by side comparison. Even with that there are so many variables like different powders and charge weights and bullet weights it might be hard to really nail it down.

kneelingatlas Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I love that comp Jared! I think you could add a lot of value to this discussion if you talked about the previous comps you've tried; I'm sure everyone and there brother wants you to shoot their gun and tell them what you think right?

Aircooled6racer Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Hello: Having played around with most of the comps out there I decided to build my own. I tested them with 9mm and 38 super comp. I also tried different bullet weights and powders. I also tried different power factors as well. I even tried different barrel twists. Different comps do act different and some just don't work that well at all. Barrel porting will help some comps but really you are just making the barrel shorter and you have to add more powder to make major. A well designed comp can do it all on it's own.

anilson Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Very interesting, would you use the same setup for 9mm and 38 super? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aircooled6racer Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hello: I tested my comp with both 9mm and 38. There are guys using them on there 9mm major and 38 super comp guns right now. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyshoots Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Eric, do you think that your comp is effective because it is directing the gas up and to the side rather then straight up? I like the design. Thinking outside of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z40acp Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hello: I like this one. Thanks, Eric Have you tested this design with side ports also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hello: I have a couple out there with holes in the side (RO deflectors). For the powder they are using it seems to work well and stops the side to side wiggle (figure 8). I think my comp works well since the gas charge is not hitting a straight wall but is being split and directed up. A side benefit is there is hardly any buildup in the bottom of the comp. I played around with many different angles and designs and this one seems the best for dot tracking and less pressure on the hands.

AWLAZS Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 How does the dot track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Ray: It tracks straight up and down with most powders. 3n37, N350 it seems to do a wiggle. Those that have seen my gun and comp on other guns are very impressed with how flat they shoot. I have also been asked a bunch if I am shooting minor even at nationals. A trip to the chromo and magic 171-173PF. I am not saying other comps don't do the job but for me and others who have tried mine won't be using any other comp.

ctay Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I shoot Eric's comp in 38SC. I run 9.1g of HS6 under a 115 MGJHP. Gets me 171PF and a soft hitting gun with straight up and down dot. I liked it so much I had him build me another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jid2 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I also found that the balance of the gun was nearly as important as the recoil impulse. What got me started on building my own comp was a desire to have a very light weight solution. With a plastic grip STI you don't need some heavy thing out there on the end of the barrel, and I wanted my gun to be light and fast in general. The comp is a MAJOR contributor to this feel. The comp I carved out of titanium is lighter than anything else you can get your hands on. It makes the gun feel very fast target to target. After doing so many versions of CFD I also was convinced you don't start with a big port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 +10 on cheely. 2 poppleholes for 38, 3 for 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnyglock Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 jid2 comp is one of the best I have tried and I have tried more than I care to admit. The gun I put it on had the new titanium Cheely comp. jid2's comp was far superior. Gun tracked better and was much flatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
