What are the most common fitment issues I may encounter when installing an after market compensator?

  • Some buyers may find that they need to modify the locking lug on the compensator because the fit is too tight.  If you are comfortable making modifications yourself you can usually do so with either a dremel or fine grit sandpaper.  If not we recommend consulting a gunsmith.
  • If your stock spring plug is longer than 1.2" you will most likely either have to shorten your spring plug or use a Commander spring plug instead.

 

Installation:

Start with the barrel and guide rod installed in the slide

Insert spring and then insert spring cap.

Depress the spring cap with thumb.  With spring cap depressed, insert compensator and twist into place.

 

Removal:

Insert the back side of a 3/8” drill bit or dowel pin with a diameter of .399" to depress spring cap.

Twist compensator counterclockwise to the 4 0’clock position

Remove compensator.
