MacLethal Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 So, is the factory top end even worth messing with? Or do I need to piece together my own top end? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If you're specifically interested in atlas' comp you can either get a Gold Team top end and his comp will thread onto the non-ported barrel, or you can order a 6" barrel from EAA for your limited and have it cut and threaded for his comp. I'm going the latter route, since the barrel is $190 and the comp is $260, not accounting for gunsmithing costs for cutting and threading. If I'm not mistaken buying and cutting a barrel also ends up being slightly longer and heavier than a Gold Team, and you'll lose out on the slide cuts that a Gold Team has. Apolo would probably know best how functionally different they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reliability concerns with 9mm vs. 38SC? Just looking for feedback good or bad. I'm running 7.0 grains of CFE-Pistol under a 124 grain that gets me to 1425 fps. This is in my Tanfo Gold Custom.

Apolo Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I believe it will work with 40. I think Atlas mentioned the Comp ID would just have to be opened up a bit to accommodate the 40 bullet OD. I believe, and some one please correct me if wrong, but the 40 cone barrel OD should be the same as the 9mm cone barrel OD. Which is the same as the Comp OD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacLethal Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 I meant if my current limited slide is .40, and I’m wanting to go 9mm.. sorry for the confusion lol To clarify, I currently have a limited in .40 I’m considering a gold team top end in 9mm, but it was mentioned above that a barrel and Comp may be a viable option.. would the barrel/Comp option work?

Yes, you can use a 6" 9mm barrel, my comp, your 40 slide and 9mm mags to shoot 9 major Open. I've never had any extraction issues running 9mm with a 40 slide, but if it happens it can be fixed with extractor tuning.

Meli2127 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I installed the comp from kneelingatlas on my modified Limited and it is great. There was a noticeable difference in the vertical mussel flip compared to the 12 ported TF Gold. I have both pistols and I put the comp onto each and it took a little bit of time to obtain the results. The difference between the Limited and the Gold with the long comp was very minimal. I'm using Lovex Major Pistol Powder. 9.1 grains with a 124 RNJ bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying this setup is close to the Gold Team in terms of flip, or not close to the Gold Team in terms of flip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apolo Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I am also confused. Are you saying you didn't notice a velocity difference between the V12 and the Durso comp? If so your chrono is broken. 10 hours ago, Meli2127 said: I installed the comp from kneelingatlas on my modified Limited and it is great.

Meli2127 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I'm saying that there is a noticeable difference between the 12 ported comp and the durso comp. There is very little difference between the gold with the durso comp and the pictured limited with the durso comp. I don't know how you can be confused if you look at the photo and read what is printed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meli2127 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 The extra long comp was tested on the TF Gold and it was then installed on the TF Limited. Those differences were very minimal. Not that noticeable. Does that make since now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLDave Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Still unclear to me. Are you saying that both comps seem to work about the same, but that the porting does change? I can't tell if you're saying that the Durso comp is about as effective as the other comp if they are both on un-ported barrels... or what. It may be easier to start by saying what you experienced with the comp, and then comparing the differences or similarities to other setups.

I think I can clarify as Steve and I shoot together locally: Steve has multiple Tanfoglio Open guns, both Limited-based Open guns and Gold Team-based. My new four-port comp shoots dramatically flatter and softer than the V12 GT, but the Gold Team with my comp and the Limited with my comp feel very similar.

ATLDave Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) Ah, that makes sense. The "host" doesn't matter much, at least when they are as similar at a GT and LTD. Barrel and comp do matter. And y'all's view is that the unported barrel and Durso comp combo is flatter/softer/better than the ported GT. Is that a fair summary?

Meli2127 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I have been purchasing the Lovex from here. http://shootersworldpowder.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Shooters-World-Load-Manual-Version04-23-18.pdf I was originally using HS6 and still have 8 Ibs of it. The Major Pistol Powder was recommended by a friend so I tried it and compared to the HS6. I found it to be less reactive. The red dot definetely moved less with the Major Pistol Powder than the HS6. It is a much finer grained powder than the HS6. It takes more weight to obtain a major load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
