FACTS AND QUESTIONS
All Bushing Compensators are threaded .575x40.  They will require an extended threaded barrel
for them to be screwed onto. Most extended barrels will have an extended length of 1" for this
purpose.

Made of either 4140 Carbon Steel in the white or 416 Stainless Steel. Bushing style comps and
Bull Barrel Comps are available on request in 2024 Aluminum for experimenting (only 40% the
weight of steel).

Coned comps fit on standard size barrels that can be or are threaded. The barrel bushing will be
removed and replace by the cone of the comp. Reverse plug will need to be added.

NOTE- In general, comps are not to be installed on pistols shooting light loads. The bigger the
comp, the more it will slow down the cycling of the slide. A lighter recoil spring will need to be
used (usually 2-4lbs. lighter). Slide lightening may be required depending on the caliber and load
used.  

1 year guarantee on compensators, if they have not been cut down (tritopped).


There is a no return policy on compensators. Comps are custom made when an order arrives,
so make certain that you order the correct one. No returns!
Serious open class raceguns need to have the slide lightened. How much to lighten the slide
depends on the size and weight of the compensator and barrel.

The extra weight of the comp and barrel will slow the cycling of the slide down because the slide
can not starts it cycling until it pulls the barrel/comp back and down out of the way. So the heavier
the barrel/comp is, the lighter the slide needs to be to compensate for the extra weight.

Also, the compensator pushes down on the slide and slows it's cycling even more. So the bigger
the comp and the more efficient the comp is, the more it will slow the slide down also. Again, the
slide will need to be machined even lighter to compensate for this also.

Some of the more popular ways to install a comp on  a racegun have different weights and the
slide weight needs to be matched up accordingly.
1-  Coned comp installed on a standard .580 dia. barrel. (one of the lightest weight).
2- Titanium comp on an extended bull barrel. (similar in weight to 1).
3- Trubore. (heavier).
4- Steel comp on an extended bull barrel. (heaviest).

A good standard to use is a bare slide weight of 10.5 oz. for use with a medium size
compensator. This would be for a #1 or #2 barrel/comp setup using major power factor loads.
I do not build guns or install compensators for residents of California, because of
CA laws.
