My experience is that a Roland Special is a wonderful weapon... quite accurate
and capable... for the role it was to fill. Which was never concealed carry. It's also very large and heavy and if you carry AIWB it feels like you're shoving a briefcase down the front of your pants. My 2 year love affair with my Roland is ending. The Floodlight is going in the holster box where old holsters go to die. The TLR1 HL and the Modlite PLH3fiddy will sit... somewhere. Money... lots of it... gone. The standard Glock barrel is going back in. A TLR 7A is going on. A Tenicor SAGAX LUX it will all go inside my pants. The RMR and Raven magwell stay... as I lovers them ever so much. And the Overwatch flat trigger stays... as does the Vickers slide release... stop... thing. Well all that and the minus connector. AND THATS ALL... well and my 147 HSTs. So the barrel... 😆 YMMV. |

Need some help here. I’ve got a 19.5 that has a silencerco 13.5x1lh barrel on it. Looking at options for a comp/barrel. I’m thinking I could keep the barrel I have and put on a zev v2 comp, or find a TBRI comp for sale somewhere. Short of that guess I’d have to buy a kkm set up, but I’d really prefer to keep my current barrel. Are the kkm comps heavier than the zev and tbri?
Anyone have experience with the zev v2 13.5x1, or have an tbri they want to hock What would you do? |
|
|
I just purchased my KKM comp and barrel. I have been warned that +P or very hot ammo is needed to cycle properly. I am just curious what the other expereinces with the Roland Specials are in the terms of ammo. Any information is greatly appreciated.

This is incorrect. I haven’t had any issues with quality 115, 124, and 147gr rounds.

Never had an issue with my KKM and standard ammo.

Ended up trading into another 19.5 that had a 508 on it. Put a sico barrel and zev comp on it. With a new baby haven’t got to shoot it much. Can’t wait to really compare to my other un comped 19.5

My Po-land special would make you guys gag but I really like it.
If Scott can get Claudio to play along, I'll have the final insult in 3-4 months: A threaded 19.4 356 TSW barrel! Who doesn't like 650 ft lbs of muzzle energy? |

Added the KKM barrel and comp - never had an issue. 115, 124, 147, and just because, 165gr subsonic. I added a tungsten guide rod and new, but same weight recoil spring and had a few hiccups with 165gr rounds (which were from a different manufacturer than the other 165gr rounds I'd fired before). After 100 or so rounds, no issues with any ammo I've used. I think the tungsten guide rod makes recoil control even easier but its not magical and is unnecessary. |

Started mine - I will need to send the slide in to Jagerwerks after Christmas. Hoping the light will be delivered by Santa.

View Quote Seems that if you're putting a new gun together or you're putting in a new barrel and comp that there is some break in period. I built a couple using Zev slides, Zev barrels and Zev comps and did not have a break in period. I shoot both hot 124's and cheap target 115's with no issue at all. The 115 target / training ammo shoots stupid soft with a comp. |

If you will look above you will see I actually traded into another 19.5 that had a 508t on it I bought a sico barrel and the zev comp. I’ve only shot about 50rds of win nato out of it but I’ve had zero issues in those 50 rds. The zev comp makes a noticeable difference over my non comped 19.5. I really like it. |

Have any of you experienced occasional fliers with your comped guns, or “split groups”? I had a few last time I zeroed (G17, SRO, KE Arms Carry Comp Short Threads on a SiCo barrel) and I would sometimes get weird fliers. I saw some lead buildup in the comp and was wondering if that was causing it - or bullets impacting the comp itself after exiting the barrel. I was also not shooting very well and kind of frustrated so maybe my technique was poor.
All that to say - how do you guys clean the crud out of your comps, if at all? |

Hope it's ok to bump this thread, but I'd rather get advice from people who have experience with these setups instead of just getting a bunch of shit for wanting to comp a 9mm carry gun. After years of shooting nothing but upland guns and deer rifles I've finally committed to entering the 21st century and am trying to settle on my first handgun. Are there any clear-cut winners between a 19 and 43x if the goal is to build a Fauxland-style carry gun that will serve the 'nightstand' role and the occasional IDPA or USPSA event? The 43x seems like the better carry choice, but I'm not sure how much it gives up in the other departments, and "I wish I'd never bought this 19" isn't really something you seem to hear people say. I also assume the comp is even more effective on a 19. On the flip side, I don't want to end up with a pig that stays home, although it looks there are a few comps that would keep the length of a 19 in the ballpark of a 17, and the PMM looks especially sweet. I know "get both" is the ultimate answer, but I've got some other priorities after this. Appreciate any advice!

You're going to have to handle both.
Your hand really might not work on a 43X. My comped(PMM) 43X felt VERY similar to my 48, follow up shots were a little quicker though. It's not a gun I have a ton of fun shooting but for concealability it is awesome. Currently my Agency Sage Comp'd Glock 45 is by far my favorite pistol. I enjoy shooting it so much I sold off my Staccato/2011 guns. Not as comfortable/easily concealable as my 43X/48 but doable. |

I sort of suspected a comped 43x would be pretty similar to a stock 19 or 48, which sort of makes me think unless I just fall in love with it I'd be better served spending my money on something else, at least as far as a first purchase. Thanks for the info! |

The aftermarket slide game is a rabbit hole I keep circling around, especially since stock slides are about as much as a whole gun. Part of me would rather get a stock frame and build out a slide so I don't have to fool with MOS plates or wait on milling, just trying to getting a handle on what brands play nice with each other. That's all good info to have though. |
