BigDave Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Has anyone shot a slab side 5" 1911 w/ 6 hole hybrid or Tribred? Basically like a 5" limited SV/STI with the holes in the top??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Grube Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Bam Bam has his set up that way. My new blaster is going with the same setup. They are flat and loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically like a 5" limited SV/STI with the holes in the top??? I have one like that, 5" in 38 Super and like it's been said it's REALLY LOUD. It's also a sharp recoil but pretty flat considering how short the barrel is. You have to use a ton of powder to make major because the fist port is about an inch from the chamber.

Singlestack Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 Whats the advantage? Weight? Length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to offer those mouth guards like football players wear to the ROs so they don't get loose teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Grube Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 5" full profile slide with extensive litening cuts. George is designing up something to look real cool, because COOL is always good! In keeping with my anti- authority attitude I'm building it in 9mm just to piss them off. Gives me a reason to keep bugging them to make it major leagal at a OAL of less than the current 1.250".

BrianH Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 For those who weren't here, the first Schumann design was a 6 nozzle rib that had to be silver soldered to the barrel, with a front sight on the end. It sat about a quarter inch over the slide, so you had to use a tall Bomar. I think someone was asking the advantage, as Wil put it, putting the nozzles over the center of gravity rather than out on the end of the gun was a better way of fighting felt recoil, and you get to stick with a five inch gun. When asked what if you shortened the nozzles so they were flush with the slide, would that cut down on the recoil reduction, and he said "yes". Then he started making barrels like that....

jjanglin Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I jus put together an SVI with a Schuemann Tribred the six inch model its an older version of what wil is making now -Im using 9.5 of 3n38 it shoots really nice ,we were practiceing tonight and the other shooters said it really shot flat.

BamBam Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Hey Chris - I have been playing more with my gun and can offer some insight to this discussion. My current setup is a slab side 5" gun with the 6" Schuemann tribrid. The standard tribrid has 3 hybrid ports and 3 barrel comps. I added a 4th hole through the rib and rifling so I now have 7 total ports aiming up. The slide was lightened some and the overall gun is VERY light. And FAST. And not for the timid as its one LOUD and VIOLENT beast. I think if I had two more chamber walls for forward gas to hit I would have a softer (better) shooting gun, so I want to experiment with adding a titanium 2 chamber comp with side pair ports to the end (4 more total holes). But is there enough gas left over to be useful?? I did a test the other day where I wrapped black electrical tape around the last barrel port and tested to see how many "wraps" the last port would blow out with 165PF loads. Answer = 5. In other words, there seems to be plenty gas still cooking to make the additional ports work. Try this yourself one day!! I also tried at one time to make a comp testing device. I am with the physicist guy who believes in real testing. Feel is feel but numbers are facts!! I took an aluminum mag filler tube and drilled a bolt hole to allow it to rotate on a table stand. The rotating gun assembly was held down with some springs and I also rigged a pen to the device to record its findings like a richter scale. Crude... but you have to admit its a clever idea. HA!

Jerome Poiret Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Perfect timing for this thread: my titanium comp is just starting to come apart (too thin baffles). I'm currently in the process to selecting a new one, and I can't decide between the EGW and the BP tech VA comps. Jim, you said you tried a BP: anymore info ? Anyone else can compare both comps ?

BamBam Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Exaclty how thin were those baffles, Jerome? I have seen .10" used with steel comps, and titanium is supposed to be so much harder. When you say coming apart, do you mean "eroding"? Is it eroding at a rate faster than the traditional steel comps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome Poiret Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 BamBam, I have two problems with the comp: - there are some cracks on (through) the baffles. IMO, this is due to their thiness : 0.035 - 0.04" - on two spots on the baffles, you can see two starting holes, like littles cratters. IMO, this might come from copper plated bullets, on which the copper comes apart (ie two or more holes in close targets). Anyone on the BP Tech comp ?

jjanglin Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Ive used several of Bp Va comps- on barnys wep sight http://www.bptech.com he has a lot of info-I do a lot of experimenting with my guns -a Va comp with a shcuemann two port hybrid barrell works good with about any powder you can push through it I like 7625-3n38 N330.--Hs-7 aND aa-7 WORKS REALLY good but is dirty as heck if you contact Rick Firebaugh who makes the VA comp youll get nothing but good info and service-Right now Im shooting a Schuemann tribrid 6 inch barrel-Ive tried a set-up like Todd J with a 4.3 inch barsto barrel and Dawsons comp Chris Kelly out in pa is shooting this gun he says he loves it-A four port hybrid with caspians x comp works tremendous but is so loud its punishment to shoot it- I have a guy I shoot with that I built a caspian for it has a 3 port schuemann hybrid with a caspian x comp he loves it- what it all comes down to like Geo from egw says theirs a lot of good comps out their find a good gunsmith and take his advice plus shoot as many guns as you can -what works for the top shooters might not work for the average b class or lower they are well trained and have developed mussle control and the comp/gun they use might suck for someone else.

Jerome Poiret Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Thanks Jim. I'll try to shoot different guns, to get a precise idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjanglin Posted June 10, 2002 Share Posted June 10, 2002 TGO: What barrel and comp do you use on the open gun? anybody else know this? Jim Anglin Sailors Custom pistols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave pasos Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 jjangln, how do you like your 6"TriBrid setup? TeamGE, thinks it a great way to go with a short overall setup and light mass on the slide? Are you using it with a 5" slide? Are there too many ports with this setup? thanks Also are the barrels .355 dia? So if you shoot 115 gr bullets should you find a barrel with a .355 bore? JJanglin, what bullets are you shooting with the TriBrid? Would 115s be too much or loud? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjanglin Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 Dave: Im shooting 124 zero with 9.4 3n38 and 115 remingtons with 7.4 n330-tribred works good with both best thing to do is decide what you want and just shoot it-Im a gunsmith and do a lot more fiddling around with differant set ups - I think all of schuemann 9mm/38 super barrels are .355. My favorite setup is a schuemann three port hybrid barrel with BP Techs bull comp-3n38 works good with about everything Ive tried I also like n340 with 124 bullets.

jjanglin Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 STI -Did a test in switzherland they tested I believe 8 of the top comps theirs did the best (S1 &S2),dawson and egw close and they did have bp-techs comp in their all of em except STI,dawson&egw were way off from from these top three ,they wont give much info on the test ,they didnt do it to cut down the other comps-the test was done on an upscale test platform-ASK STI for more info ya wont get much this is understandable to me -I just wish id known about the test before now it would have saved me a lot of testing and money.

chi Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 jjangle, can you explain which were the top three? First you said STI,Dawson and EGW. Then you said they were not in the top three? Maybe I miss understood. Where were the TriBrids? Are they not as good as the others? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chi Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Iam confused. I going to build a Open gun but i really dont what way to go with comps! A TridBrid look cool. But a tituman comp is cool too! Jus dont know. Help someone! Would I use a bull barrel or not? and just a cone comp? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjanglin Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 CHI Guess it does sound a bit confusing (sorry) STI S1 &S2 tested best out of the eight they tested Dawson & EGW where close all the others where way behind .I was really surprised cause Ive been using the BP-Techs comp and thought it was the really good, guess not .I dont doubt STI they are a class act-Ive used primarily SVI stuff for years but its just to hard to get parts form them to be a reliable source anymore.
