kewi Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 new to open. i have an open gun on the way with a trubor barrel. figured it will be nose heavy due to it having the trubor barrel and i don't like nose heavy guns. i was thinking of having my smith cut the last chamber of the comp in order to lighten it a bit, but i was worried it may lessen the effectivity of the comp..btw changing the barrel to have a titanium comp is not an option for me at the moment..im also changing the grips to steel as i've read from the forums that it does soak up recoil pretty well..hope to hear what the open guys think about this.

Load and send it do you have slide lightening cuts with it? and what grip are you using, plastic or steel? im asking because im also curious as to how it will balance if i change the grip to steel..also does you brazos have popple holes?

xjwalt666 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Once you put the steel grip on it, it will even out the weight pretty well. I really don't feel that cutting one chamber of the comp off is going to make a very noticeable difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slide comes with some ports in it but no popple holes as 9 major doesn't benefit enough from it it. I have an Infinity steel grip on it. It is also a short dust cover. I also have a BUL armory Bullesteros full dust cover that I rebuilt with the an Atlas open style slide. No cuts, all the metal along with the grip and it shoots balanced too. 7lb ISMI recoil springs in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
