handgun compensators?

Post by G34 »

does anyone run or recommend pistol comps. i know recoil on a 9mm is light but after running a few comps its amazing ho fast the flat the sights track. anyone have good or bad experience and which ones did yall run. so far

nameless armament- good performance. cosmetically not the sexiest.
Killer Innovations-mounting and indexing barrel problems
PMM-crush washer system is rock solid. doesnt quite work as good as others
Zev pro comp- medium in performance. pretty bulky.
Zev Pro comp 2- on order
Agency 417-on order.

How does the Nameless Armament work in effectiveness compared to the Zevs?

I only have the KKM bbl and comp, so I don't have any reference point to compare it to. But am looking to get another for some 1/2x28 bbls I have.

the Zev beats it out ever so slightly imo. plus the two small set screws are the only thing i dont like on it.

Thanks. Have you ever compared a comp Glock to a "C" Glock?

Thanks, brother. I really appreciate the offer.

I have a G19C and a G19 with the KKM comp. I can't decide which one I like better and I'm not discerning enough to tell which one shoots flatter/softer. Maybe that's because the C has irons and the KKM has a red dot, so it's not apples to apples.

Try out the comps from southwest precision right here in AZ. I have 2 of their comps and like the way they shoot. I have had the zev and a couple others.

I have a G19 3rd gen with a threaded barrel and an Agency Arms 417S SINGLE PORT COMPENSATOR and what's really cool about it, is the front sight mounts to the comp for an even longer sight radius and it doesn't move like the slide when shooting. super fast to acquire. I have had some limp wrist failure from not getting high enough on the stock 3rd gen lower. if i could own a G17 slide with G19 lower this is as close as I will get basically. My stock 3rd gen upper has no mods. I need to drop my Zev slide on and test with a lighter slide. But overall it's really fun to shoot
