Effectiveness of the comp is irrelevant. All that matters is how big the flex will be on the Gram
Big facts cause the most important thing is lookin cool
ABC
it isn't a flex though..they are cheap...
@@dylanmills6944 not about the money bruh, its about looking tacticool lol
Lind of like those soaps? they were 20 bucks. but you could grind on hand rails around town lol. THAT was cool
I compensate by driving a BMW without using turn signals.

@BUCK JO FIDEN!! it’s only 150 my dude
Oh you mad mad man
I carry full size guns 😈😈
i have a great tip for people with threaded barrels. Skip the thread locker and the set screws. Go to Harbor freight and get an o-ring kit. Find one that fits your barrel. Put it on before you thread your accessory on. It will stop it from loosening. Ive been using the same one on my barrel for 2 years now. i shoot weekly. Its never come loose. I also keep the o-ring lubricated so it doesn't dry out.
Please explain more! I’m wanting to get a 509c tactical and put a comp on it. Are you saying to put the o-ring at the back of the the threads or the start and then just thread in the comp?
So you’re saying you don’t tighten the set screws or apply lock tire to them ?
@@bhief473 not mine. once i tried the oring idea i had. Its stays tight and never vibrates off. I actually dont even have to tighten it as tight as i used to. The oring absorbs the vibration between the 2 parts very very well. I've shot 10,000+ rounds since then. Never had an issue with it coming off.
@@imgoodaswell9558 yes at the back of the threads and screw it on and just hand tighten. The rubber oring absorbs the vibration between the 2 metal surfaces . and i just hand tighten it on. Ive sent 10k+ rounds using the oring Ive never had an issue with it coming off or even loosening
@@DisclosureTvNews damn that’s impressive. How often do you deep clean your comp? Every 1000?
As a competition shooter, one comes to understand that compensators help convert money into noise more rapidly.
Dude I knew everything but the way you put it all together just solidified the bits and pieces of knowledge I got watching soo much crap about comp. Appreciate the knowledge.
I would and will use a comp on a carry pistol. I'm the process of setting that up now. This is my first video of yours, and I have to say, very, very informative with great information.
This is the first video of yours I’ve watched and I subbed. You described things very well and I love how you broke the science down! The physics behind it makes much more sense now. Fantastic explanations and video!
The content and info on this channel is some of the best on TH-cam. I look forward to your video more than all the big dog gun tubers.
That's high praise - thank you.
Very educational! I really enjoyed this video! Super cool to learn more about the mechanisms of how guns work. I'm a fairly recent big fan of your channel! Keep up the awesome work!
Excellent knowledge sir! I learned a lot here and appreciated the dense knowledge and depth of the conversation/topic, and as such, you've earned yourself a subscriber 🤝
Great job explaining this in such a way, that it’s completely understandable to a novice. Thank you ✌️
I have a micro compensator and threaded barrel ordered for my primary EDC. It should arrive tomorrow. Thanks for the video and keep shooting 😊.
Interesting video, thanks. Running a 365XL Spectre (gen1) slide with lightening cuts, a threaded barrel and a Herrington Arms HC365 single-port comp on an X-Macro lower. Ammo is usually Gold Dot 9mm 124gr +P. My goal was to tame muzzle rise without messing with recoil springs or experimentation with different Ammo. This is the same round used in my X-Macro daily carry.
Fantastic video for dudes like me dipping their toes into the world of compensators. Thank you so much for doing this. Earned my sub quick!
Running a Parker Mountain Machine single port on my 509ç. I love it , it belds with the slide like it was made that way .
It is hard to be humble when you are the best. Great video!
Eye opening video- the way you educate those who do know know all the specifics on slow burning vs fast burning - blew me away - being one of the ignorant viewers, i have to say thank you for the explanation and awesome teaching! Kamsahamnida!!
Brilliantly presented Sir!
You killed multiple questions in one presentation 🙌🏼👏🙌🏼
I have an oz9 hypercomp x that I LOVE for my “cold weather carry” since it’s g45 sized but my typical carry is a p365 with a PMM comp that I also love. Just makes getting a mag cranked out in the ten ring quick and easy.
Your deep understanding of firearms is amazing. Thank you for this video.
Another faaantastic video! This time explaining the pros and cons of pistol compensators. Appreciated.
I have been looking at the Primary Machine option for my only threaded barrel pistol a CZ P07. Very well explained, Thanks!
They are fun to mess around with.
I have a Shield PC1st gen with a Carver Custom 2 port comp. Night and day deference from the already stock ported barrel. Tighter grouping, faster follow up shots and yes does better with the milder loads.
Just stumbled across ur channel instant follow. I own the mr920 and its the funnest 9mm pistol I've fired. It wants to shoot fast. I'm probably gonna order a comp soon thanks for very detailed info
Is it worth the buy?
Been using KKM Precision barrel with their 4 port comp and love it on my Glock 19. Want one for my G34 and 26.
Yes. I just bought a canik sfx. Looking to get the muzzle under control. Considering some made for rifles because of the ability to be fine tuned.
Absolutely I would. Want to try the hellcat rdp. I am using a venom defense on 5.56 compared to a2 birdcage its night and day. Cant wait to learn about pistol comps.
I currently use the TBRCI micro mini comp on my gen 5 glock 19. I love it. It keeps the gunck off of my surefire x300u and it looks cool, which is the most important factor.
ABC brother.
Really great video! Finally an explanation of compensators with facts and science. VERY informative
Outstanding info as usual probably the the best channel for competitors on TH-cam
Wow, thanks!
I started carrying a Glock 45 Sage V2 by Agency Arms. It's my first experience with a comp and I love it!
I do use a comped gun for edc.. my main carry firearm is the nighthawk firehawk! Never been blinded by shooting at night and any 9mm without ear pro is loud af with or without a comp.. just purchased a sig 365 spectre comp and will begin using is as a carry gun after 1000 rounds at minimum once I am familiar and comfortable doing so.
I have added a ninex19 threaded barrel and Herrington Arms HC3652P compensator onto my p365x. I have noticed a measurable reduction in recoil, muzzle rise, quicker followup shots, less felt recoil, and less fatigue. I've enjoyed it so far, but have had a couple cycle issues with 115gr ammo. My gun was already broken in prior to adding the comp so I didn't experience malfunctions every other round. I'm going to keep trying it with oem recoil spring and guide rod, but may consider a DPM tunable spring set. I had no issues with 147gr but have not tried 124gr yet.
I just purchased the griffin armament micro comp for my gen 3 g19 and one for my PSA dagger.
Omg I watch all your new stuff and this just popped up as a suggested. This is gold.
Definitely one of my favorite channels on TH-cam for guns
thanks man!
Thank you for the great intro to this topic!
Love this guys content…definitely legit…very detailed and educational…much appreciated
Great video. i bought a Faxon threaded barrel and comp for my M&P Gen 1 - worked right out of the box, currently around 400-500 rounds through it, no hiccups, with a few diff loads (primarily 115/124gr target) - just ordered a new slide to add an optic. I've noticed the gun absolutely shoots flatter for follow-up shots and faster shooting, but agree that slow-fire accuracy is pretty much the same. I don't think you can underestimate cool-factor on these - they look dope. EDC - I think it's fine to run one, not necessary, but if you're okay w/ the minimal extra weight, and added length - why not? Thanks for the upload.
How do you like the 115/124 grain? I was watching videos and was dam convinced I was going to go with a 147 grain but now I’m looking at this video and totally changed my mind especially with the new comp I just put.
Thank you for all you said. Please do not shorten your lesson.
Picked up a dagger comp by Harrington arms a couple weeks back. Love it.
I don't know how I missed this video last year?! Excellent overview that mirrors my own experiences in many ways.
Personally, I've gone back and forth for carry. I've gone away from the comp for daily carry the last year or so. I farm, and frequently shoot from my tractor cab at vermin. Even with the door open, and with my elecronic muffs...the comp'd gun with appropriate handloads is freaking brutal inside a metal/glass cab. It's like getting punched in the face while blasting my ears at the same time. Not fun.
Probably not the most valid reason for shying away from the carry comp...but that's just me. Also, as you mentioned, messing around with aftermarket springs on a carry gun is always a pain in the ass. Finding a good high pressure load (not to mention a handload that duplicates the performance) takes time and money as well.
Also, I've had complaints at training courses from people who don't wear high quality muffs. I shot a high volume course at an indoor training facility a couple years ago. I didn't make many new friends that day.
Having
I’ve never thought about using one. I will definitely check one out👍🏽
They aren't too bad. I'm enjoying messing with them.
I have a Henry Holsters comp on my FN 509 Tactical. It’s a night and day difference with it on and without it.
Funny thing is I was either going to get that MR920 or the FN.
I run a P320 X-Carry with Leopold Delta Pro Red Dot, Streamlight TLR-8 and Harrington Arms comp for my home defense pistol. All work’s beautifully. 🤓
wow great in depth video. thank you for your expertise!
I do carry a comp on my EDC. I have a G19X with an Agency Arms 417 comp paired with a DPM guide rod. I’ve ran 115g and it runs without any issues.
The Arc division Spark M v2 , I use it with my carry gun and I love . It shoot with fine the factory recoil spring and any ammo I have put it through.
I’ve used multiple comps on my glocks and by far the arc is the best one. From reliability to significantly less felt recoil.
Have you used an arc on a p320?
I am in the process of purchasing one as I watch this video just needed a bit more confirmation in order to make a wise decision on which one will better fit me and my 9MM.
I haven't any experience with compensators on handguns , but i do on rifles. Thanks for the knowledge about compensators on handguns , Humble Marksman !!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for watching - cheers.
Best compensator explanation video on TH-cam. And top 5 best gun channel on TH-cam easily.
Thank you!
I use a KE arms 4 port comp on my gen 4 Glock 19. Use case is competition and carry. I shoot exclusively 115 +p speer loose pack ammo and my defensive ammo (speer 124 +p gold dot) and with this combo it works 100% with out messing with the rsa. Great video
Just put the same comp on my 23 gen 4 (it has a threaded 9mm conversion barrel) I was having stovepipes with 115 grain ammo but with 135 and up it ran flawless
I have the mayhem syndicate carry comp. It’s phenomenal. Just took incredibly long to get.
What website. I cant find one without barrel
I run a zev v2 on my mr918 elite. I love it! Every shot from the first shot out of that gun was done with the comp. And 600 rounds later and not a single failure. It makes a huge difference on how flat it shoots
They're pretty cool.
so how do you know it made a difference in flatness of the gun?
I'd like to get the strike industries g4 for my PSA dagger. I figured they would do what I thought but it's always good knowledge to have
I’m definitely a Comp fan myself! I have the Herrington arms, primary machine & TBR versions on multiple pistols. Carry on
you introduced me to this world!
I'm in the other camp. Nothing wrong with it. I just like the simplicity of no comp in my carry guns. No variables with more specialized ammo, springs, holsters. Plus I carry appendix... and you know how hot a comp can get after a few magazines, then if you re-holster too fast... I don't have to tell you the rest. LMAO.
wish i could find TBR comps. i guess that company is no longer?
RICEY702 they went out of business a long while ago & took a bunch of people’s $ supposedly.
Yes I would I have a killer innovation comp for my cz p10f just orders it minutes ago will be on the way soon
I have an hc365 on the way currently. Can't wait to test it out and see if there is a diff on the 365xl
Excellent presentation.
I want to try a comp on my 17 first. Leaving the 19 stock for carry other than a heavier guide rod. Need to dial in my comp understanding.
Already do, I use an Agency Arms single port on my G19, my first comp. But recently I got an Arc division comp and barrel for my G17 and WOW this one is the best I've seen and used. I highly recommend you check them out.
They are on the list for sure.
Love mine too!
I second this. Best comp I’ve ever used.
I shoot a c p07 and I just put a primary machine stealth comp. Have not shot it yet but I think I will like it
Best gun video I've ever seen💯. Actually learned alot from watching this.
Just got my first comp for my P320 and never thought about how it may effect sooting from retention. I guess I’ll just have to get out to the range next week and find out exactly what it feels/sounds like. Can’t be worse than my pre model 14 S&W that likes to just throw gas from every angle😂
I use griffins micro carry comp on my shadow system.
Negligible difference but the shadows shoot sweet to begin.
Would love for you to compare ported barrels and comps. Thanks
It's interesting how many "tactical" youtube "instructors" have very little high-level competition experience. I'm not saying that competition equates to TACTICAL experience, but it DOES equate to very thorough TECHNICAL knowledge. It's like how F1 motorsports tech eventually trickles down to the enthusiasts and finally dealership / showroom features.
I've been a hobbyist / enthusiast for 20years and this is literally the first time I've heard such a clear explanation of the impact of bullet weight and velocity on the efficiency of compensators.
I'm not interested in having comps, but this was an excellent video! I had some clue of how they worked, but you did a great job describing, showing, and proving how they work.
Glad it was helpful!
I have a War Poet MR920 and believe I have an adjustable recoil spring though a little wary to screwing with it to work with a Herrington compensator? Great video with a lot to think about. Definitely saving the video to review when I get the compensator. Subscibed and liked!!
I run a Herrington Arms comp on my 43X and it has reduced felt recoil by a ridiculous amount without effecting reliability. Would definitely recommend
Like you I also use the Suarez Street comp but I use it on my Glock 19
your videos are so informative ! your channel is great ! thanks for everything you do your awesome.
Thank you
I plan to put a 45 blast on my TP9 EC. It’s a bit Gucci to begin with and I want it to shoot as flat as possible. Mostly for added weight coupled with a light.
It’s a range gun specifically so it makes sense to me.
well i already purchased a threaded barrel & comp from LoneWolf. looks like ill eventually have to get a different guide rod as well. very informative video, subbed and liked!!
would love an updated video using the PSA Dagger (glock 19 clone) since psa and the dagger is probably 1 if not most sold 9mm pistol these days
Yes, my carry p320c wears a pmm gen 1 comp with the grey ghost compact slide and a fullsize grip module so it fits within the dust cover. Throw a rds on top for good measure and the thing with 124s is like turning on all the cheat codes.
Those are awesome setups. Not gonna lie - I wanted one before the recent class action lawsuit has me shy about carrying one.
@@TheHumbleMarksman yeah, I put an agency trigger shoe on mine that has the glock style dingis thing. A lot of guys knock on that trigger "why would you wanna turn your sig into a glock!?!" But for me it was the added layer of safety that gives me the confidence to carry it.
I have the rock your glock comp. It's awesome . also have a comp on my tokarev 7.62x25mm as well.
I just ordered a Parker mountain machine. I know it’s an older vid, but I’ll fallow up a reply with my thoughts once I take her out a bit
Great info, thank you. Don't own any threaded barrels so no comps in my near future but it's fun to at least learn about this stuff.
as I play with them - I'm getting more serious about them - they're nearly "free" performance - once you get past the money you have to spend.
@@TheHumbleMarksman dangit, now i may want one 🤣
I have the faxon exos on my S&W shield plus. Works great
Mass Driver and currently waiting for the Five-Kilo RMC for the Strike 80C.
I should’ve brought a notepad to jot all this down 😅 my brain almost exploded! Great video man, very informative!
I enjoyed this edjimicational video. Good stuff. Thanks!
Thanks for helping me with my decision!
They absolutely work. On your carry gun you run +p or +p+ and the combo makes a huge difference. Practice with your carry a,mo and find out!
100%
I carry a g19 with kkm barrel and 4 port comp in a sidecar aiwb. With +p defense ammo
Excellent video on compensators. I agree with everything you said, especially when it comes to ammo choices. My standard "non-compensated" match loads is a 147gr at about 860fps. Soft shooting for sure, but it won't work a comp worth a damn. If you're shooting factory ammo, ammo from Fiocchi, S&B, and Speer Lawman rounds run nicely in the comp gun with the 115gr loading. Likewise the WW 124 NATO. If you like heavier bullets, the 147 Speer Lawman and the Federal 147 American Eagle function nicely in my comped Canik SFX.
yeah any NATO load will do good - I'm partial S&B
All I shoot is Speer lawman 147 is it worth getting a comped gun? Will I see any improvement in recoil
My carry G19 wears a PMM comp, I have not noticed a lot of reduction in recoil but it keeps may light clean.
I recently got myself a Zaffirri slide for my G19 with a lot of window cuts and a RMR footprint. It’s about 2.5 ounces lighter now, which is about the same weight as a 9mm Shield. There’s a little more recoil but all things considered I like my lightweight G19. Very comfortable to carry.
with a compensator I bet that ends up being pretty fun to shoot.
nothing of what you said was relavent to the video
I use agency arms, primary machine, and zev....carry range home....now a supporter!!! Big fan brother. Keep it up. God bless America and the 2A
Right on man - I appreciate it. Got some more comp content in the pipeline.
My dad uses a ported glock 19 ( ninex19 vapor slide and barrel with a strike industries frame )
I love this video so much. I love how descriptive you are with your explanations of how everything works. I will definitely be checking out your other content.
Vp9 with a weighted rail comp, and a Kimber 1911 .45 with a Valkyrie Dynamics punisher comp. Both are great.
G17 KKM barrel and comp. 13 lbs spring, captured full length guide rod, Magtech 115 grn +P+ ammo, minor PF 151, Open Division.
I keep threatening to build a glock open gun for the LOLS. I'd probably try to shoot major though.
great job! I look forward to seeing more of your vids!
Great review David! Cheers from Montreal!!!
Great video. Definitely going to subscribe. Thanks
I love this guy he gives the best videos on TH-cam hands F***ing down !!!!!!
you're too kind. Thank you.
Gathering parts to build an p320 x carry
For comped use, Springer's precision rmr plate with a holosun 508t, PMM comp
those guns look cool.
