Is A Compensator Worth It On Your Carry Gun?

Left off part II… As for getting gunk inside the barrel… carried both the 1911 and M-9 in the Army. Went to a few dirty places. Never had a problem with getting trash or debris in the action, slide or barrel. We did carry our sidearm in a full cover holster so, that likely part of the solution set. Good holsters make the difference.

I had no idea people put comps on pistols?? Is this a thing? I actually lol'd. I mean let's be real about 1) what is a carry for? and 2) what is the average distance when using a carry in application? And 3) Colion addresses the shooting in the dark thing, so this is not a factor as well. Low-priority upgrade. Put comps on rifles, it's a medium to long-range improvement.

Muzzle flash makes a difference in a gun fight, I personally know this, it surprises you. So, train will over come that challenge,

Well you gotta go with what works for you. We all compromise to find the best balance for ourselves.

Funny tactic. You don’t shoot a lot unless you buy a compensated handgun and notice it immediately. Maybe you NEED a compensator, and red dot, and GOS guided bullets but many of us are still happy with regular handguns.

Great video, didn't know there was such a thing, now I do lol

Depends on a number of factors, including shooter ability, shooting styles and concealability. Personally, I'll take additional concealability over the effects of a compensator but to each their own.

Most definitely, I run a Harrington arms on my Glock 43x and it should literally come on that gun

DPM recoil reduction springs are great.

You get comped for the vid?

You ever shoot from retention with a comp or ported gun? You do it once and that's about it. Also, in the rare case you shoot from inside your vehicle, good luck with a comp or ported barrel

Terrible idea for a carry gun. At night you'll get a nice fireball that can blind you temporarily.

Comps are louder for sure.... flash is an issue at night depending on ammo. They can be distracting and allow you to be seen better at night...ammo dependent though

Yes it is

I’ve watched you for several years now and I’ve enjoyed your progression in both skill and knowledge

No. Next question.

Heck yeah I love my hellcat pro. I’m so pissed that I put an extended threaded barrel and SA comp on mine right before the release of the comp version. That said I love the comp and extra length. Doesn’t even bug me much while carrying

Funny, I remember everyone in the world pretty much talking s*** about the C Compensated models that Glock came out with years ago. “ They’ll blind you at night “ etc. I believe they were the first in mass produced/ offered models. Now what’s out is in.. I have a G17C, G22C and G23C and will never get rid of them. Rest in Peace Gaston !

Such a snappy little pistol. Love my hellcat, but it jumps around

It’s not comped, it’s ported

Terrible choice for carry piece. You may be involved in a close combat situation where you have to pull the pistol back close to your body. Then the flash and whatever metal bits that fly up through that top port hole may hit you in the face.

I like the idea of it but also people should just work on their grip and fundamentals to make them a better shooter. Nothing is going to replace training and hard work.

😳 An indoors steel target shooting range I need one in my area asap damm

What about a 10mm comp

Concerned about the flash? That's the coolest part!

They absolutely work too. It’s not a massive difference but it definitely takes the snap out of a gun.

Love the standard hellcat pro with the threaded barrel and index comp.

I should have waited to buy my hellcat pro comp.... should have learned from the 30 sig variations that came out in a year lol

Every single point you made is valid. Compensators definitely help control recoil which improves follow-up shots. I shoot weekly on an outdoor range on steel and USPSA targets with a timer from concealed. I would rather put an Icarus grip on my 365 and an M carbo trigger to avoid the gritty creep. We also shoot extreme close quarters drills and the blast from a compensator definitely wakes you up. No shade though. To each his own. If you actually need to use your gun, compensator blast is the least of your problems.

“I dont go anywhere without them”

Does that mean the bed too?

if it's good enough for John Wick, it's good enough for me 🤣

My everyday carry is a government model 1911-A1, 5.5" barrel with a two port compensator, 45acp.

Love the shirt you were wearing that says “I guess you’re not here about the tobacco or alcohol”, where do I get one? Video was super helpful thank you!

Thank You Sir! A great review!

I like the comp guns... I just purchased my first glock 17c. It's funny how all these manufacturers are compensating their barrels now when glock did this year's ago..😂😂

Having a pistol barely move seems like a huge advantage in a gunfight. Comp time!

Thx

Volin run for office my friend

So….spend money UPFRONT for a compensator, or just spend extra for 380 ammo?

This Mf is tight

I love my Hellcat pro comp. I’ve never had an issue with any gas or debris coming back at my face

First time I shot a comped Glock I was shocked how LOUD it was. The blast wave hits your face on a 17C and I did not enjoy it. It also did minimal to change the recoil impulse, in my opinion.

I loved my hellcat pro till I tried a Masada slim. The Masada is so much better, more comfy and the trigger is night and day.

New edc is a sig 365 X macro comp.

Im going to comp my beretta 380, cuz why not?? Terrible hush can host, and i gotta use a threaded barrel in some way

I wish they made it in desert color…
