9 mm Major OPEN blaster project

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

As I already have an 38 super I will reuse some of the parts, e.g. the frame and the slide as they fit nice and tight already.

  • SPS frame (from the 38 super gun), I have a Scott grip on the gun right now.
  • Caspian 5" slide (from the 38 super gun)
  • Schuemann 5 port threaded bull barrel (new)
  • Bedell 7 port Titanium compensator (Bought it used here in the classified)
  • 1 short 126 mm mag for prone shooting (from the 38 super gun)
  • 2 140 mm mags for normal shooting (from the 38 super gun)
  • 1 170 mm BIG stick for the long couarses. (from the 38 super gun)
  • C-More with either a Quinn or a Barry mount. (Have a serendipity on it right now)

I will use Vithavouri powder and 124 grains fmj:s for matches and 145 grain lead bullet for practice (got them cheap)

Remember that we use PF 160 when shooting OPEN in IPSC where I live.

What are your thoughts about this, will it be a nice 9 major blaster or...... :bow: ?

The combination sounds pretty good. Don't know about all those holes in the barrel tho, gotta use a whole lot of powder. Mags might need spacers.

I'm curious to see how you like the hybrid with ti comp. I have a 3 port hybrid barrel and a ti bedell comp that i have stashed for a future project.

Good luck.

The 5-port hybrid + Bedell 7-port is likely way too many holes to make major in 9mm. In my experience, the hybrid ports vent a lot of gas resulting is a fair amount of velocity loss. I would expect that you won't have enough gas left to get the comp working very efficiently with the max 9mm load (aka: fill the case completely and compress the load considerably).

Many 9mm major guns are using just the 7-port Bedell or equivalent. Some have removed the last 2-ports to create a 5-port version.
