Threadless Compensator

[tonyxcom]

Weapons Armament Research used to make this and claimed it was CA compliant.

They now make this but its speendy

Strike Industries has one.

Strike's is cool but it's only for the gen 4 so that's off roster. This compensator works on gen 3s and is a non-threaded barrel. Also only about $200 with the barrel included.

This is just a mock up obviously but the prototype is completely designed and ready to be produced. Just need the funds to start producing it.

Most plastic guns are field-stripped by pulling muzzle through the slide. A permanently attached compensator would prevent this process and even replacement of the recoil spring without removing the compensator.

OP wants it on Glock 17, so it will require the ability to remove the compensator, regardless of how it's implemented.

That's how they all were back in the day. All the race guns were built this way, my Springfield P9 Factory Comp, etc. You can remove the recoil spring and guide without problem. You just have to clean it from the muzzle end or use a pull-through cleaner.

Adding a tlr-1 reduces recoil and it also serves a function.

Didn't Strike Industries make one as well? It attached via a special recoil spring rod...

They did and there is probably a good reason it's NLA. Plus, added weight on the slide reduces ammo options. In CA, factory compensated barrels (and matching slides, factory or custom milled) or ported extended barrels are the way to go. Like most Strike products, their slide comp is more for looks. Whatever reduction in felt recoil is due to the added weight (and slower cycling slide).

If modifying factory barrel and slide, consider Mag-na-port. Smaller ports, less chance of debris from entering. https://magnaport.com/hgun.html

17C barrels can be had. Slides are harder to come by. Lone Wolf offered C style slide porting at one point. Not sure if they still do.

This FTI Comp is a true 4-port, barrel mounted compensator with the same port profile and performance as other 4-port compensators but is CA legal with no threaded barrel. It is also way shorter than other comps with the same porting area. You should check it out, we need to get it funded so we can have a real comp here in CA!

During the 1994 AW Ban Bushmaster used a spring loaded ball bearing muzzle brake on their carbon AR 15s. No threads on the barrel, just a groove into which one snapped on the device. Worked fine, stayed in place.

Not interested. Don't need it. 9mm doesn't need to be compensated. Are you on RTI's payroll or something? Plus, it's an unfunded concept at this point. As good as vaporware.

No I'm just a guy in California who wants a compensator haha. Yes it is just an unfunded concept right now but I don't think I'm the only one who wants something like this, hopefully we can get it funded. The prototypes are being made right now though so once that's done I'll have them sent out to some guys to review etc.

As for the necessity of it sure you could argue it's not needed but the same argument could be made about aftermarket triggers, red dots, stippling, magwells etc. etc.

Yes I am keeping it somewhat vague until the patent is sorted out but basically it is locked onto the barrel with a set screw and it installs exactly the same way you would a threaded compensator. So cleaning and take down are all the same as with a standard threaded compensator as well.

[sigstroker]

It could be anything simple that's not a thread, as in, it doesn't have inclined surfaces. So it could be like a 3 lug except with 2 lugs like a Gemtech bi-lock. Similar to a bolt action rifle's lugs.

The problem is you'll have to buy their proprietary barrel, and the fact that hardly anyone outside of California would want it, which limits their market and makes these parts very expensive.

So you ARE the owner of this site and trying to schlock your junk to us.

Actually I am the owner of THIS site, he is the owner of THAT site.

I am aware that he is discussing his product under development and is not a Vendor.
At this point there is no product to sell so it's not a problem, I'm sure once this becomes available for retail sale he'll contact Dave and become a Vendor.
