Perfect solution - Strike Industries G4 Mass Driver Barrel Compensator

For anyone not wanting to shed the money for a threaded barrel this is your only viable option for a comp. Engineering, finish, and quality is top notch. Works incredibly well. There is a two springs; the guide rod spring as well as a smaller one in the comp. So whenever the slide is cycled from firing the comp spring pushes forwards s and negates a large amount of recoil, helping to keep you on target. It is the same width as the slide so it would fit in an exposed holster. I personally wouldn't AIWB with this comp but I guess it could be done. It also adds some weight to the front end (duh) but I got used to it after an evening of dry firing. It adds about 240 tacti-cool points though so it outweighs the weight, no pun intended. s

It does require a break-in period for the slide to cycle smoothly. The first 500 times racking the slide felt grimy and stiff despite my methodical cleaning of it multiple times. I've been told that it is totally normal so not really a con just something to be aware of.

Only thing Id have to say is that isn't positive is that I tried to contact Strike industries with no response. The guide rod that came with comp did not have a hole in it to hold spring back to help install into slide. The video on there website shows the guide rod with one, It was an annoying inconvenience but I got it installed regardless. That was two weeks ago and still have yet to receive a response from them. I know they are slammed right now like a girl on prom night so I wont hold it against them, just wanted to give a thorough review of product and customer service. Overall A+ product!
