Irontexan Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) I currently have a STI DVC-P and am considering changing to either an Atlas Erebus or a ported SVI with a slide mounted red dot. I am curious if the muzzle rise reduction of the ports on an SVI hybrid barrel would be comparable to the single port comps on the Erebus or the DVC-P. Whichever pistol I go with will be in 9mm Minor. Thanks for any insight. For reference, this is the style SVI I am referring to.

japarker82 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Phoenix Trinity honcho has a single port comp specifically for 9 minor you should check out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irontexan Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 The PT Honcho is on my radar as well. The modularity of their platform is a pretty strong selling point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I talked with Chris Tilley, the time a SVI shooter, some years ago about my open gun. HIs take was there is a trade off between muzzle flip and recoil. He preferred less muzzle flip, keeping the dot in the optic. There is a relationship between ports, muzzle flip, recoil, and your powder choices. My IMM SV had very little muzzle flip, decent recoil, and a very bad concussion blast for the ROs. I used VV 3N38 producing a lot of gas which worked the comp to perfection. If I was to get back into Open, SV is the only choice for me. I'll pay the premium for their quality. Understand, I am not bad mouthing any other builder but my experience with SV has been superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irontexan Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 Thank you, I am leaning towards SV, but with them not having a single port comp set up available I am left hoping their ported set up gives similar results. Unfortunately I can't find anything as far as user reviews for this set up. I really like how the comp on the DVC-P keeps the nose down compared to my CZ TSO, so that's a feature I'd prefer to keep.

Furrly Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I would they say this is a pretty flat shooting blaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irontexan Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 The Erebus appears to be a very flat shooting pistol and is the most "apples to apples" comparison and upgrade to my DVC-P. It retains all the things I love about the DVC-P with the improved trigger and metal grip upgrade that I am looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bret Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 a 9mm SVI Infinity is going to be flat even without poppel holes in the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geraldskip Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Honestly for 3 gun I wouldn’t even get a fancy pants comp’ed gun. I’d go for a STI Staccato Duo for $2500. They shoot remarkably flat. I shot mine next to an Atlas Erebus about a month ago, and while the Erebus was nicer, I certainly don’t think it was worth $3500 more. I don’t think it would change your placing in a big 3 gun match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it is a want, just chasing a faster gun. I think I have talked myself towards the Erebus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things are gorgeous and sexy as all get out. They do shoot quite nicely, but again, I doubt it’ll be THAT much better than your DVC-P.
