Just be sure to pin or weld that comp on the barrel. Pistol + threaded barrel = JAIL

Or pull a walther doj fix and use loctite...


i did not see any listed on the oly arms website, anyone have others designed for a pistol?

What kind of gun and wht type of compenator do you prefer?

Rifle style side port comps are not what you want for a pistol.
Pistol comps traditionally have ports that face up.
The size of the ports and how many there are determine how effective it will be, and must be suited to your barrel length and gas volume.

The comps shown above would be next to worthless on a 9mm carbine, no appreciable gas ejecta to work the comp.

That is what I was thinking. Lets say you wanted to use one on a browning hi-power? or even a 1911?

i have yet to find any supplies on the next with that thread size. (at reasonable prices too)

1/2x28 is too small for a .45....the threading will be .5" in diameter. That means the thickness of the metal around the barrel would be .025"...way too thin. The diameter will be larger on a 1911 in 45ACP

yup your right. I did not think about that- what about on a hi-power in 9mm?

1/2 would be big enough.

I got confused with my first post, I though you were talking about an 9mm AR.

There are allot of 9mm comps out there but none will have a 1/2"x28thread. The standard for most auto pistols are .685"x40 for bull barrels and .575"x40 or .581"x40 for standard barrels. All will require gunsmith fitting. Check Brownells EGW-guns.com ClarkCustomGuns.com GansGuns.com I hear Gans will make a custom comp to your specs

There are cheap ones available from Guns-n-stuff and they also sell threaded Federal barrels for Hi-powers. One of the guys I shoot USPSA with every weekend tried one on his hipower. He abandoned the comp because it never ran right and it wasn't very effective with minor power loads(or factory).

Most 1911/2011 shooters I know use an EGW or custom made comp.

As long as his handgun is a registered AW, there's no need to Loctite the thing on there, as far as I know.
