inthegvr Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I am confused on popple holes. Wouldn't it be the same as a shorter barrel? At least the violent feeling? Or does it work like a comp but only pushes down? I have read a ton of threads about them but none really explain the reason behind it. Just trying to figure out as I am buying my first open gun.

moparnut88 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It works kinda like a comp. It helps push straight down but does act like a shorter barrel as far as powder charge is concerned. I have a 5" sti in 9major and have a Bedell comp with 2 - 3/16" popple holes and it shoots very flat but is exceptionally loud and obnoxious. But it works good for me. Ymmv.

kneelingatlas Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I've found a shorter barrel has a greater effect on velocity than holes in the barrel; you might see a 10% drop in velocity per inch of barrel but only a 1-2% drop per hole.

1911A12011 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I have a V6 popple holes (5.5" barrel) and 4 chamber compensator, it shoots way flatter with the same bullet then my other compensated barrel (5.5" barrel) open gun without popple holes. I also noted that their power factor is very close to each other and the V6 red dot optics is easier to track for follow-up shot. I highly recommend popple holes for open gun.
