| Serious open class raceguns need to have the slide lightened. How much to lighten the slide depends on the size and weight of the compensator and barrel. The extra weight of the comp and barrel will slow the cycling of the slide down because the slide can not starts it cycling until it pulls the barrel/comp back and down out of the way. So the heavier the barrel/comp is, the lighter the slide needs to be to compensate for the extra weight. Also, the compensator pushes down on the slide and slows it's cycling even more. So the bigger the comp and the more efficient the comp is, the more it will slow the slide down also. Again, the slide will need to be machined even lighter to compensate for this also. Some of the more popular ways to install a comp on a racegun have different weights and the slide weight needs to be matched up accordingly. 1- Coned comp installed on a standard .580 dia. barrel. (one of the lightest weight). 2- Titanium comp on an extended bull barrel. (similar in weight to 1). 3- Trubore. (heavier). 4- Steel comp on an extended bull barrel. (heaviest). A good standard to use is a bare slide weight of 10.5 oz. for use with a medium size compensator. This would be for a #1 or #2 barrel/comp setup using major power factor loads. |
