NoSteel Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Decided to try a couple off Popple holes in my open gun. After 100rnds down the pipe I like the change in dot movement allot. A little snap of how the gases would travel thru the forward angled ports. Edited October 26, 2017 by NoSteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niroth81 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) How/What are you using as gas? I'd like to have a look at the flow of mine. I'll take a video of the gas flow in mine for comparison. I'm running 3 holes, will have to check diameter though. I know my gun stays VERY flat as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZ77beDUnfo&feature=youtu.be&t=184&vq=hd720 Edited October 27, 2017 by niroth81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tricks. 3 Popple holes, properly sprung. copper plated projectiles running about 172PF. Tight grip on the gun and lots and LOTS of practice!

Tight grip on the gun and lots and LOTS of practice! Curious as to how you determine a properly sprung gun? I always run a 17# ISMI spring in 19/2011 pistols... I take a couple of recoil springs to the range and see which one keeps the dot in the glass and recycles the gun... That's the one I use... I'm shooting am STI Trubor with a 17# main spring and a 9# recoil spring using 173PF 9mm ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm shooting am STI Trubor with a 17# main spring and a 9# recoil spring using 173PF 9mm ammo. Drop that recoil spring to a 7 or 8 and run 115’s and see how different the track is. Unless the stock trubor has a pretty h any slide I think 9 is really heavy. I currently use an 8 variable with 121’s but the flattest my gun shoots is with a 7 and 115’s. It just gets unreliable if the gun gets really dirty and I hate to clean guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that affects cleanliness of the muzzle gas though?? I'm a miserably slow c-class shooter and the holes are an experiment to see how it affects recoil/recovery.... Or,. I was bored and had to use the mill on something!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 My C-More used to get "glopped up" by oil from my TruBor - had to clean lens after each stage. Now that I'm using Slide-Glide, I don't get any more gunk on my C-More - guess the oil was splattering and the Slide-Glide stays where it's supposed to stay - However it works, my C-More stays MUCH cleaner.

The C-More RTS2 on my TruBor also gets "glopped up" during a match... I have a Brazos RTS2 mount that doesn't have a blast shield... I was thinking that might be the cause for the oil getting on the front of the lens... Thinking about changing to an Everglades mount with a blast shield to eliminate the oil from getting on the lens... Does your sight mount have a blast shield?

ano Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I rarely have to clean any of my rts2 or romeo3, most are on SVI oem mount, sits so low, and I got everything from shorty with 4 huuuge sweage holes and up. A lot of theese guns had dirty lenses with upright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I tried recoil springs, the lightest spring I tried was a 9... 7 or 8 pounds sounds pretty light for a recoil spring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s nothing. 3N37 makes great fireballs about every 3-4 rounds. It accumulates in the comp and then ignites eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
