XD Niner Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) Has anyone put one of these on your PCC? If so, what are your thoughts? Would you do it again? 9mm U M Tactical R.A.G.E. comp Edited June 7, 2017 by XD Niner Link to comment
v1911 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I would have to pass on the opportunity to spend $150 for a barrel weight. PCCs don't produce enough gas to make use of a comp. Link to comment
XD Niner Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 That seems to be the general consensus. Of course, the Wright brothers were told by many people that their plane would never fly. I have second hand anecdotal information that it works on at least one PCC build. I am hoping to find someone who has one on their PCC to get their feedback.. Link to comment

1911luvr Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 What comp are you running? It's an eBay knockoff of the Miculek style comp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Les Snyder Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'm running a $25 dollar Miculek style on my AR9... I can't attest to any recoil reduction,but it does alleviate scope movement.... it is from McDonald Precision Components, their EQ model Link to comment
MRBACKHAND Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I use this. $30 shipped http://m.ebay.com/itm/Steel-TANKER-Muzzle-Brake-9MM-thread-Jam-nut-AP-MFG-/331705623016?hash=item4d3b3221e8%3Ag%3AjVYAAOSw0JpV5Naj&_trkparms=pageci%3A5f678d7f-4bf2-11e7-b38c-74dbd180cbcf%7Cparentrq%3A8589852115c0a8670b852a2afff9df77%7Ciid%3A12 Link to comment

You could video several different shooters using the same PCC and see several different results. Can we actually know if adding a comp actually works as advertised because of the science that went into it or because you added a few ounces of weight on the end of a barrel? Would a Noveske flaming pig have the same results as an actual comp when comparing recoil reduction and dot movement? Link to comment
usmc1094 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I think he was showing you that there was enough gas coming out of a pcc. Could just be the load he is using, but it does look to have enough gas for the comp to work. Link to comment
MHitchcock Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Given the amount of trouble the national champion is going through to make a comp with a tube welded to it as light as possible, and that he is capable of .10 splits, I would say that a comp does make a difference. Otherwise he would just use An aluminum sleeved pistol barrel. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 (edited) Hello: I made some years ago and they really don't have enough gas to make them work properly. There is gas there but it has such low velocity and force it doesn't do much. I have settled on a two port comp that just redirects the gas out the sides to help with timer pickup and the extra weight helps keep the barrel flip down. Buffer setup and load will do more. Thanks, Eric Edited June 8, 2017 by Aircooled6racer Link to comment
Nathanb Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I don't think it's about gas more about hanging weight on it. Link to comment

The comp does exactly what it supposed to do in keeping the muzzle down and stopping red dot bounce. There isn't really any recoil in the 9mm AR, just the reciprocating mass of the bolt and buffer that caused the gun to move. As Aircooledracer said, you tune this away with load and buffer adjustments. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Tampa-XD45 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I tried the Guntec and it made zero difference on the 9mm AR. With 223/556 the recoil difference is noticeable and brutally loud. Link to comment
