22_Shooter 1,560 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 For those that don't know much about chokes (like myself).......what, if any, is the difference between the slotted and non-slotted Polychoke? (Besides presence or absence of said slots) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Garys4598 1,065 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 For those that don't know much about chokes (like myself).......what, if any, is the difference between the slotted and non-slotted Polychoke? (Besides presence or absence of said slots) The difference is... the slotted PolyChokes are a friggen pain in the arse to clean at the end of your shooting day, whereas these unslotted; solid adjustable choke is not (I owned the slotted version). Truly though, performance wise there absolutely is NO difference between the two IMHO. As I just stated though, the slotted version serves as a wonderful catcher of carbon.... I mean, it looks cool and all, and I'm sure it functions slightly as a flash dispersion device or whatever (doesn't help with recoil).... but I found I needed to take a dental tool to it frequently to adequately clean it. YMMV. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gpqueen 545 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 It is also shorter than the slotted. It is really about which look you like. I carry both now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) I own the slotted polychoke. It was the only version I could find anywhere when I bought it, and at the time I didn't even know that there were two versions of this device. If I could trade my slotted polychoke for a non-slotted, I probably would. As Gary said, the slots catch carbon like nothing else and are a pain in the ass to clean. The slots are very narrow and sharp, I cut myself pretty good on em when I first got mine. The slots also add a good inch to the length of your gun. They do suppress the flash some though. All that said, I do like the performance of the device. It tightens shot patterns quite a bit, and has a slug setting that works well. edit: on the subject of recoil, either version of the polychoke, (or any choke really), is going to increase recoil. It does seem to help your gun cycle low-brass more reliably as well. Edited September 20, 2009 by post-apocalyptic Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh I'm liking the looks of the non-slotted better, purely for the shorter length. Thanks for the info, fellas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sparky63 46 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 how does the adjustment work? do you just turn it to the settings that are a half inch apart?or is it full turns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gpqueen 545 Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 how does the adjustment work? do you just turn it to the settings that are a half inch apart?or is it full turns. All the way in should be X-Full and then back off each click. You should see the ring lock in each position. The settings are not far apart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gpqueen 545 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 When will CS be receiving more of the non-vented Poly Chokes? Should be next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
racolqui 19 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have used a non-vented version on 20 ga Belgium made Browning for 30 years (it was all they offered at the time) and have never been disappointed. I like the non-vented version on my Saiga 12 because of the shorter length Quote Link to post Share on other sites
