Who here has played around with comps for handguns and how do you feel about them? There's all kinds, from edm cuts in the barrels, to bushing comps for 1911's, to the thread-on variety. Muzzle devices are all over the ar-15 market, but not too many people get in to them for handguns. Show off some, share some info about your experiences with them, share why you do or don't like them.
Here's the one I'm currently digging...
...I didn't really expect it to do anything for .45acp. All my reading around said .45 had pressures that were too low for comps to really do anything noticeable. I got it anyway just because I'm a fan of absurd things(hence the pistol bayo). Damned if that thing doesn't cut down recoil and muzzle rise in a BIG way. I like that the hotter the loads I'm shooting, the more effective it is. It turns hot 230 gr +p's into a warm 9mm load in feel. It was pretty interesting to bounce back and forth between alucard's g20 & g30 with some pretty hot loads and then come back to my comp'd m&p with the tlr1 hanging off of it. The thing felt like a cap-gun. Here is shooting with it yesterday up in PA at the windsor range...
