Carry Comps - do compensators actually work on 9mm pistols?

In this video we look at how different types of ammo work with carry compensators - discuss the pros and cons of using a compensator. And a lesson on how different ammunition can work the comp! We look at the Herrington Arms HC9C and the Suarez International Street Comp

i have a great tip for people with threaded barrels. Skip the thread locker and the set screws. Go to Harbor freight and get an o-ring kit. Find one that fits your barrel. Put it on before you thread your accessory on. It will stop it from loosening. Ive been using the same one on my barrel for 2 years now. i shoot weekly. Its never come loose. I also keep the o-ring lubricated so it doesn't dry out.

[@imgoodaswell9558]

Please explain more! I’m wanting to get a 509c tactical and put a comp on it. Are you saying to put the o-ring at the back of the the threads or the start and then just thread in the comp?

[@bhief473]

So you’re saying you don’t tighten the set screws or apply lock tire to them ?

[@DisclosureTvNews]

@@bhief473 not mine. once i tried the oring idea i had. Its stays tight and never vibrates off. I actually dont even have to tighten it as tight as i used to. The oring absorbs the vibration between the 2 parts very very well. I've shot 10,000+ rounds since then. Never had an issue with it coming off.

[@DisclosureTvNews]

@@imgoodaswell9558 yes at the back of the threads and screw it on and just hand tighten. The rubber oring absorbs the vibration between the 2 metal surfaces . and i just hand tighten it on. Ive sent 10k+ rounds using the oring Ive never had an issue with it coming off or even loosening

Great video. i bought a Faxon threaded barrel and comp for my M&P Gen 1 - worked right out of the box, currently around 400-500 rounds through it, no hiccups, with a few diff loads (primarily 115/124gr target) - just ordered a new slide to add an optic. I've noticed the gun absolutely shoots flatter for follow-up shots and faster shooting, but agree that slow-fire accuracy is pretty much the same. I don't think you can underestimate cool-factor on these - they look dope. EDC - I think it's fine to run one, not necessary, but if you're okay w/ the minimal extra weight, and added length - why not? Thanks for the upload.

[@elmomurda55]

Ammo is usually Gold Dot 9mm 124gr +P. My goal was to tame muzzle rise without messing with recoil springs or experimentation with different Ammo. This is the same round used in my X-Macro daily carry.

I use a KE arms 4 port comp on my gen 4 Glock 19. Use case is competition and carry. I shoot exclusively 115 +p speer loose pack ammo and my defensive ammo (speer 124 +p gold dot) and with this combo it works 100% with out messing with the rsa. Great video

[@alexf6206]

One reason I’m considering a compensator is as a out of battery shield. If I have to pull my gun in a ground fight and I go to press it into the perps body it will likely be pushed out of battery (making it impossible to fire.) With the compensator connected to the barrel it would keep the slide from being pushed back and solve that issue.

[@shootinbruin3614]

A barrel mounted compensator will not help prevent the gun from going out of battery in a pistol with the common Browning-based action. Pushing on the comp will also push back on the barrel and in most guns this is sufficient to not let the gun fire

[@Mountain_Soldier]

I do carry a comp on my EDC. I have a G19X with an Agency Arms 417 comp paired with a DPM guide rod. I’ve ran 115g and it runs without any issues.

Tacticool Carry Comps FTW! MALL NINJAS love comps for concealed carry for a longer pistol without increased barrel length and muzzle velocity or sight radius. ARMCHAIR OPERATORS love comps for home defense for the increased muzzle blast to blind and deafen themselves.

Thanks for all the excellent info! I was seriously considering getting a compensator for my Canik Elite Combat. But with the info you provided, since my gun is solely used as a defensive EDC tool, I don’t think there would be a benefit for me to get one. For a defensive gun, I don’t want to add anything that could even remotely affect reliability. Plus I would rather spend the money on practice and training ammo than a compensator, then a lighter recoil spring, then have to go through even more money finding the right ammo that would work best with it and hope I can even find the ammo. For competition, sure. A comp would be great. For EDC self defense, not so much, I think.

That ran me down the rabbit hole of guide rod springs. Then, striker springs for some reason. I even coated the barrel with NP3 for lubricity in cycling. All the comp did for me was make the pistol finicky to the point the pros didn't outweigh the cons.

I would really be interested in how one of the super light extra high velocity loads would work with a comp such as Lehigh defense Extreme defender 68gr or Fort Scott munitions lightweight load. These are getting near or over 2000FPS and generally are considered lighter recoiling even without a comp.

[@jordanjeanette7672]

I wouldn't consider it. I carried a load like this for awhile, and I planned on running it on a parker mountain machine build. Bear in mind, I was not using Lehigh defense, and I'm no expert. This is just my experience. The ammo I was shooting was 90 grain (ish) and was rated at like 1700fps if I remember correctly. It would barely cycle my slide with no comp. I wouldn't carry it, if I were you

Just reread your post. I was running the Fort Scott light load (90ish if I remember right) and it wouldn't cycle at all

Vp9 with a weighted rail comp, and a Kimber 1911 .45 with a Valkyrie Dynamics punisher comp. Both are great.

Would love for you to compare ported barrels and comps. Thanks

I plan to put a 45 blast on my TP9 EC. It’s a bit Gucci to begin with and I want it to shoot as flat as possible. Mostly for added weight coupled with a light. It’s a range gun specifically so it makes sense to me.
