2pointslow Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I've been doing some research into compensators. What I've come up with is that they are useless in the .45acp. I have an aluminum framed .45 I was wanting to reduce muzzle flip for quicker follow up shots. Anyone have any experience with them? Obviously threaded not bushing.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Worthless on .45; you have to be able to reload in order to make pistol comps worthwhile. There are only a few select powders that put off enough gas to effectively drive a comp; none of which are going to work if loaded into 45. Step up to 460 Rowland and you could probably make it work. Or, step down into a race caliber and roll your own that way. If you want to reduce muzzle flip; learn to shoot it better (i.e. shoot more).

2pointslow Posted March 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I can reduce it I was just hoping to allow for quicker follow ups. Oh we'll more range time for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 An uncomped 45 is easily capable of sub-0.25s splits in the right hands. That's pretty God damn fast. I can assure you the gun is more than capable in its current state of much quicker followup shots. Practice. Practice. Practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well, if you were to buy this reloading setup I have, you could be reloading your own 45APC w/ a 200grain lead SWC that would allow you a MUCH faster followup shot due to reduced recoil.

Avenger1647545502 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 I'm running a Canyon Creek tungsten guide rod on my Springfield XD...it does reduce felt recoil and flip, how much I can't say, but it is noticeably less. I've heard of similar reports for 1911s and Glocks with other brands as well. But more practice and perhaps a change in grip will help more.
