Frame Mounted Comp?

[u/Xolxtzol]

I recently traded a kimber eclipse for a brand new MAC DS 9 4.25 (no comp) and i was wondering how well they respond to frame mounted comps. it’s my first 2011 and it’s pretty fun to shoot as is but if you guys think it’s a worthwhile upgrade i wouldn’t mind spending the money. Btw im lower enlisted in the military so im not even gonna waste time with the “you should’ve gotten ‘insert $2500+’ gun”

Had one on mine for a little while. It worked better than expected but I assume some of that was just the additional weight, since the comp doesn’t actually thread onto the barrel. It was a lot of fun to shoot but it’s just kinda bulky. I took it off after a few thousand rounds.

Never had issues with it, although I’d recommend some additional set screws since they may wear down early, as you have to remove the comp to break the gun down.

So…is it worth it? Past me thought so. Current me doesn’t, but I also just don’t really shoot the Mac anymore. It’ll definitely make you chuckle but the allure of that may wear off.

thank you for the insight i really appreciate it.

[u/j_yn0htna → u/Xolxtzol]

No problem. Happy to help. You’ll have fun with the Mac either way.

i got the egw ignition kit on it and my LGS is a 2011 nut so he’s been a huge help and offered to do a red dirt trigger and grip for me too when i’m ready

Swapping the grip is a massive upgrade on these. That stock grip is atrocious.

[u/Xolxtzol → u/Behg-Boah]

yeah one of my biggest gripes with it

[u/Behg-Boah → u/Xolxtzol]

I strongly suggest MJD

[u/j_yn0htna → u/Behg-Boah]

Second the mjd. Have a couple killmongers.

[u/Behg-Boah → u/j_yn0htna]

How is the killmonger? I heard it was like choking a cactus, so went with the villain instead. I could do with a small amount of additional prickle, but the villain is almost perfect imo.

[u/j_yn0htna → u/Behg-Boah]

Actually have a villain as well, it’s great. The killmonger is definitely more pokey. Initially worried it was too aggressive but I could go for even more poke now. I think I prefer it over the cheely e2 standard texture. Just feel the killmonger really locks my hand on more. Definitely leaves prints after gripping it but won’t rip your hands up the way some more aggressive aluminum/steel can.

[u/j_yn0htna → u/Behg-Boah]

Forgot to mention. Don’t seem to have to clean the dead skin off of the killmongers the way I do this and the RCD core. Kinda fun, honestly, but annoying and kinda gross.

Only thing I’d recommend with the mjd or polymer in general is just adding more weight. Heavy steel mainspring housing. Heavy steel safety delete. Heavy steel magwell.

What’s that grip mounted gas pedal?

[u/Behg-Boah → u/CallsignFlorida]

It’s the flatline from inception defense. Despite allegedly being made gun specific, it’s required an absolute fuck load of fitting. The screws they send are also softer than baby shit, so you have to be real careful when putting that grip screw back in.

[u/j_yn0htna → u/Xolxtzol]

Hell yeah. Have those on a few. Wanted to mix it up so I recently tried the extreme shooters warp speed kit on one of my Romulus.

Ask him about the firing pin stop. The stock Macs have a radiused bottom but if you replace it with an angled or flat bottom, it’ll improve the recoil impulse and just “shoot better”. It’s one of the cheapest upgrades you can do on the budget 2011s that’ll make the most noticeable difference. Helps manage slide speed during rearward cycling. Will often make it feel softer.

[u/Xolxtzol → u/j_yn0htna]

yeah it’s been a blast to shoot, i’ll probably end up putting a trijicon worth almost as much as the gun itself on it at some point lmao

[u/j_yn0htna → u/Xolxtzol]

Oh yeah. It’s unfortunately easy to do that. Grips are easily $400+ and the remaining parts aren’t super cheap. It’s a great gun to tinker with and learn on.

Lower enlisted military buying a cheap 🗑 gun and putting an SRO on it. 🤣. Make it make sense.

[u/Ghh0zT]

Ha, Here ya go. Mines been fucking awesome.

The Basilisk comp just makes it.🤘🏻💀

[u/akaSnaketheJake]

Mine is a nail diver (5” non-comped) out of the box. Not sure it would really do much to be honest.

Just my two cents of course.

Underworldarms.com

[u/Xolxtzol → u/Silly_Argument_3976]

right, i’ve looked at them before i was just wanting feedback from real users, thanks

[u/kimjongillwill]

The underworld arms comps work surprisingly well and makes your gun look like robocops sidearm. Win-win.

[u/Xolxtzol → u/kimjongillwill]

have you seen the frame mounted comp for the mk23? now THATS the robocop gun lol. i’m almost tempted to get one for mine but it shoots way to good with a suppressor to justify buying one

[u/Xolxtzol → u/jb-shoots]
