Was interested in a compensator, for the following extremely important and well thought out reasons:
1)I have a 5" TB handgun, 9mm. Since it has threads, I wanted to thread something on it.
2) They look cool at USPSA matches.
Sooooo.....
Are compensators effective for 9mm? Are they more or less effective for 9mm than other calibers (40, 45, 38 super)? Do you need hotter loads to get a gun to cycle with a comp than without? Does this negate the effect of the compensator? Is the loudness worth the reduction in muzzle flip?
This would probably not be for (serious) competition, because I can't use it in IDPA, and i'd be minor in USPSA Open. As I said, it would be mostly a range/fun toy.
Thanks.
