I've got their ULW in my current setup and love it. Looking at the number,s I think this barrel should weigh about the same (maybe you could provide a weight when it arrives?) but have the benefit of some extra velocity out of the round, which I think could be beneficial for USPSA (vs. SC) when the plates need to be knocked over. Keep us posted, and maybe there will be a ramped version at some point in the future. Link to comment

The Taccom facebook page states that they are leaving out the barrel orientation pin... so that you can clock the barrel after the comp is spot welded... That would preclude adding a ramp.

The barrel along with a carbon fiber handguard should lighten up my 8lb USPSA PCC. 8 pounds?! Damn that's almost milspec territory. I got my PCC down to 6lb 7 oz with an Iron City rail, Venom DD comp, and MFT stock. The Venom titanium (their plain black comp is just as light it feels - I have two) comp weighs 1.2 oz versus the JP coming in 4.5 oz and the Venom is probably an inch or so shorter so it's nice on a 16" barrel with less OAL and less weight so far out. I'd attach pics but cant go over 0.5 mb could always get a file share though. Link to comment

Not sure what they are trying to improve/correct by doing that... There was something on her a week or so ago on a different thread. Someone mentioned timing a comp to minimize the up and right movement of the barrel when a right handed shooter shoots. I guess it could work, providing there is enough gas going through the comp to make it work ? Link to comment

It has an aluminum shroud instead of carbon fiber. Tim told me it weighed 18 ounces and the carbon fiber weighs 17. Link to comment

Seeing I just made GM in Steel Challenge with the gun, it's time to lighten up my USPSA PCC. 8lbs is pretty heavy Link to comment
mpeltier Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) I have played around with several and settled on the Kaw Valley Precision linear comp available at Joebobs for under $40.00. This is a picture of the standard size on my 8.5" pcc. It is aluminum and quite light. Edited September 9, 2018 by mpeltier Link to comment

I like it a lot and don’t feel like I could ask for more out of the barrel. Link to comment

I'm sure the Taccom product is good, as I've used several of their products on this build, It doesn't really answer the OP's question though, as he was asking about a lightweight comp, not a barrel replacement.

Keep us posted, and maybe there will be a ramped version at some point in the future. I got to test fire the new feather weight barrel yesterday. I had to sight in my C-more. Here's my take so far: I clocked the comp at 1:30 The impulse of recoil is straight up. The gun shots very flat and damn is it accurate! The weight of my USPSA PCC went from 8lbs to 6lbs 6.9oz and the balance of the gun feels excellent. I'm sure I could get it under 6lbs, but I really like the Bmiller Aluminum magwell. I'm shooting it in a match Saturday, we'll see how it goes. *Yes, I moved the laser behind my C-more Link to comment
Timido Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Nice. I clocked my taccom barrel straight up same way my 16" barrel was with the comp on it. I don't think 900 fps 147s are moving a comp anyway in my case Link to comment

I don't think 900 fps 147s are moving a comp anyway in my case No, but according to Tim at Taccom, the 1:30 clock makes sense seeing the gun recoils up and to the right for right handed shooters. At least that's what I'm told. I'll drink the Kool-aid and try it. Link to comment

All of the Open shooters I've seen run their comps straight up, and I'd expect a pistol to show more up & right impulse than a PCC. But if nothing else, it might help a little in blowing smoke out of your line of sight. Link to comment

(I don't know if I will go clear to 130) Glad to hear its working good so far. Edited September 12, 2018 by Startingover Link to comment
jkrispies Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Up right for right handed shooter is probably due to the stock pushing against the right shoulder causing a twist right, and up from the typical muzzle rise. Mirror effect for a lefty. I’m assuming. Theoretically not as much for pistol if you’re using an isosceles stance. I’m assuming. Edited September 12, 2018 by jkrispies Link to comment
