I have two linear compensators: the Guntec AR 15 Slim line micro, and the Kaw Valley Precision XL Slim. I use them on a Ruger PC Charger 9mm and a Stribog SP9A3G 9mm.
They both improve blast and recoil experience for the shooter. There is no noticeable difference in performance.
The Guntec is shorter and wider and noticeably heavier. The KVP XL Slim is longer, narrower and noticeably lighter.
I haven't banged on them, but the guntec seems a lot more durable and impact-resistant than the KVP. I haven't cleaned either one, but the guntec seem a lot easier to clean.
Since the guntec and the KVP together cost less than 1/20th of a suppressor, I recommend getting them both.
If youre buying for a recreational rifle or PCC, you will be happy with either one.
If youre buying for a working rifle and you expect to break glass or other barriers, I recommend the Guntec.
But if youre buying for a handgun, I recommend the KVP.
Pros:
- Easy to install
- Easy to clean
- Sturdy
- Works, but not a suppressor
Cons:
- Heavier than other options, but not too heavy
Best Used for:
- Enjoying and protecting freedom

Really like the muzzle device but its too short for my handguard to flush out the front. Looks great.

Installed on a 10.5 barrel and works great. It projects blast forward away from shooter. 10.5 barrel with flash can also installed has roughly same amount of concussion as a 16” barrel with A2 bird cage. One problem is aesthetics. The notches/cutouts on the sides did not level out horizontally or vertically. Notches/cutouts are off center and looks funny. Would like much better if the notches/cutouts are excluded.
Would recommend: Yes

Was very surprised how effective this little gem is. I really wasn't expecting much.....first shots I realized I didnt need hearing protection (not recommending...just saying)..***If you are in the cockpit.......standing beside its still needed....but it really does throw all the sound down range...fits great....easy install....if you shoot alot...this will benifit you greatly.....the value is amazing compared to the higher end SMD had us all grinning like opossums

Item for as thought too. Would have liked to see it sooner than the 3 weeks to get it, but at the end of the day I’m glad I ordered it. Would also be nice to see color options on these in order to customize the gun more.
