A design is in the works, and a prototype has been made, for a compensator that requires no barrel modification, has a unique mounting method that requires no permanent modification to the XD, would be user removeable, work on either 4 or 5 inch models. just would like to get an indication of how popular this would be with the group, and if interested, get a concensus as to were a reasonable price could be set. it would add weight to the front of the gun, reduce muzzle flip considerably, and not interfer or permanently alter any of the guns functions. i cant post any pictures at this point, nor can i elaborate quite yet on the mounting method. but let me say....it looks very sweet on the gun, is incredibly easy to both put on and remove, and from the looks of things is incredibly efficient in reducing muzzle flip.

I have a comp barrel for my 1911 .45s, and don't use it. I installed it after I got it and took it to the range to compare with a regular barrel. As I fired the first few rounds I noticed that there was stuff kind of drifting down from the ceiling and then realized that it was the gasses the comp was directing toward the ceiling tiles blowing them apart.

I used it a few times after that, mostly for fun, but found that it didn't really make much difference, especially with my style of shooting.

I did try it at night and found the flame disconcerting but not a real big problem.

I also found that the extra length made it a problem to draw from my carry holster.

I have it stored away somewhere, but I don't remember where.

Not interested in another.

Yeah, that sideways grip while saying "Don' make me pop two in yo' ass" doesn't give a compensator a lot of opportunity to work :) .

I don't say anything of the sort, it's "Don' y'all make me cap all y'all's ass." :lol: :lol: :lol:
