Dirty_J Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Has anyone done a side by side comparison of the two? I shot a 3 stage adjustable for a couple of years in USPSA... then moved over to the MPX last year. I’m bored and looking to try a blowback gun again... and I’m curious what I’ll gain with the delay system and what potential drawbacks (if any are) exists. If it matters, planning to go with the 13/16 Extreme Feed barrel. Will be loading out my own 115gr load to reach 130-132PF Same goes for the bolts. What are the gains and drawbacks of the various configurations: - ESSB + Delayed - ESSB + Adjustable - Standard bolt + Delayed - Standard bolt + Adjustable If anyone’s played out these configurations, I’d like to hear your feedback before I spend the money and as always, the expertise of @TRUBL is always appreciated.

lonestardiver Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Maybe no one has played out those configurations.I haven’t so I haven’t commented before now. Link to comment
stick Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I've never tried out those configurations. As you stated in your question, I would call Tim and ask him. I'm sure he's tried one or two of those configurations, Link to comment
Dirty_J Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Went ahead and orders the ESSB and the delayed recoil system. If I don’t care for it; can always go back to what I know. It’s just money. Gotta spend those Trumpie bucks on something. Link to comment
Wvaughn7 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I haven’t used the adjustable recoil system in a personal build but have shot a friends briefly. I prefer the delayed blowback and have been running it pretty much since it came out. I had some problems with the inner bushing shedding some small slivers of plastic and gumming up the system for the first 3-400 rounds. I sent Tim a message and of course he was ready to swap it out for free if needed, but I guess it just had some rough machining that wore down and has been flawless ever since. Best feeling setup I’ve shot to date between it and the adjustable systems from Taccom and MBX. Link to comment
Dirty_J Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Ordered it Friday. Eagerly awaiting that tracking info! Link to comment
Dirty_J Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Annnnnnd still waiting. Apparently Taccom was out of their uppers... and their upper configurator didn’t show me it was OOS... so I’m back ordered. Hopefully it ships soon Link to comment
John Boy Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 From their website: We do not recommend (nor is it needed) to shorten the stroke on the TACCOM delayed blow back system. However, the ESSB will allow for more dwell time on the disconnector of your trigger and help eliminate doubles with lower power rounds. Link to comment

The reason for that is the system moves faster and is lighter, which you can do because of the delay. Link to comment
