@@EmptyBrassRanchi want to send my slide and factory barrel to get fitted and threaded. Do they include a thread protector when they ship your slide back ?
You can get the compensator kit with or without a guide rod/ lightweight spring. The guiderod in the kit I ordered was a steel guiderod with lightweight spring.
If I remember correctly it was just shy of 2 weeks time from when I mailed it to when it returned. I think they only had it for about 4 days before it was mailed back.
For normal cleanings, you really shouldn't need to remove the compensator. You are still able to remove the slide from the frame and can access all the parts to easily clean. It is recommended to only use Blue loctite (low hold) so you can remove the comp and/or to completely remove the barrel from the frame.
@@EmptyBrassRanch thank you for for the answer! How about the barrel? You just clean it from the front? Or can you still remove it? Sorry to be precious about it, but really want one of these loo
@@Thabosshoss Yes you would mostly from the muzzle but you are able to tilt the barrel enough with slide/spring/guide rod removed with compensator attached that you "could" get a cleaning rod in from the chamber end.
@@EmptyBrassRanch interesting! Would be cool to see a video on that. I have been comparing this to the PMC machine and the Beretta OEM muzzle brake. All seem like good options.
Man I have been looking at this for a while. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the like
Did you get it

Hi.
Does this product include the special guide rod? I mean a longer guide rod than normal?

Did they give you a thread protector when they threaded your factory barell ?
I did not recieve one in my kit, it definitely would have been nice if one was included or even the ability to choose as an add on item.
The comp is the thread protector :)
How long did it take for them to get the slide and barrel back to you ?
If I remember correctly it was just shy of 2 weeks time from when I mailed it to when it returned. I think they only had it for about 4 days before it was mailed back.
Do you take the compensator off for cleaning? Or does the loctite make that unfeasable?

I'll see what I can do.
