compensator

[BHP FAN]

you see compensators that replace the barrel bushing for sale for 1911's all the time....are they CA legal? they don't thread on the barrel, so it seems they should be OK...?

[Varg Vikernes]

Should be fine.

That's what I'm thinking, thanks!

Threaded barrels are no go.

They're legal, but they also don't work

no threaded barrel, Synergy, it just replaces the barrel bushing. The barrel stays unthreaded...

I know, they don't work, but they look so cool!

Friends don't let friends shop at SG. They are one step behind CTD.

If the compensator is permanently attached via weld or similar fashion to the barrel you can have a truly compensated 1911.

Good luck.

Or you can get a Trubor barrel which has an integral compensator.

Or I guess you could just get it Magnaported. I just thought $18.00 was a steal, when they usually run about $70.00...

BHP, where are you located? I know it says Northern California, but if you're close enough, I believe I have one in a parts box somewhere.

[BHP FAN]

Eureka, California. I'd gladly pay ya for it. USPS, Priorty Mail, flat rate box would get it here in two days...
