Apolo Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This thing is awesome. In a small brief testing period of my own, it far beats out the V12. Less Powder, 115g Major, and much softer in hand. I do not have this barrel reamed by the good folks at PD yet. I was very anxious to test it out and quickly made up some loads I knew wouldn't touch major with a 115 from the V12, but Might with the Durso comp. Sure enough I made 166pf with 115g Blues over 7.9g of Power pistol. Loaded @ .....1.06. I can't wait to do more testing with a better powder and after reaming. Thoughts are on AA7.

Apolo Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Every gold team should have one. I will try to link up or post up my slow mo video here so others can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 If possible, do one with the old compensator and the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While they're both may be similar in actual flatness I have to use a lot more powder to actually achieve that flatness with the V12. That and then 9 mm makes it very difficult. Also the video doesn't describe how a much softer and actually feels in the hand. And it is much less violent and concussive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apolo Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 When I get time I will try to post up video of both. I would also like to do a video of the durso comp with a tailored load for the comp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mlussoro Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 So can I unscrew stock comp and barrel and fit to a limited slide? I’m interested in heavier slide for open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kujo929 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 So can I unscrew stock comp and barrel and fit to a limited slide? I’m interested in heavier slide for open To use a limited slide you would need to buy a 6” barrel and have it cut down to length and threaded for this comp. That is what I am having done on both my limited slide open guns currently. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrel's are not that spendy and they do come up in the chop shop swap. Also the comp is only $260. The thread, cut, and recrown barrel shouldn't be terrible either. We can do that stuff at SSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kujo929 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 If I could get a gold team for a G I would just to set up with the new comp to compare it to the limited with same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apolo Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 In all seriousness, what is the apeal of doing a Limited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base gun costs $700 less so for the price of a factory Gold Team, you could fit a 6" barrel and my comp. Theoretically you get the comp a quarter inch further from your wrist and maybe a little more velocity in the extra quarter inch of barrel.

Boooooyaaaaaaa 7 hours ago, Apolo said: In all seriousness, what is the apeal of doing a Limited? So here’s my thought process, longer frame, heavier slide more mass moving back and forth at a slower speed increasing reliability, plus longer barrel and comp less muzzle flip. My opinion but I’m building it so we shall see ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
