What is the best opinion on comps? Where should I start looking if I wanted to replace my gun compensator?
There are a few things to keep in mind when evaluating the performance of a gun compensator. First, what is the purpose of the compensator? Is it installed to reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil? If so, then you will want to test it by firing both supervised and unsupervised groups. Supervised groups are those in which you pay close attention to your target, front sight alignment, and trigger control. Unsupervised groups are fired without caring as much about target engagement or focusing on the front sight. You should notice a difference between the two types of groups, with the unsupervised group showing less muzzle rise and felt recoil.
Another thing to consider is threaded barrel length. The longer the barrel, the more effective the compensator will be. This is because there is more time for the gases to expand and exit the muzzle before they impact the projectile. Thus, a longer barrel will provide more compensation than a shorter barrel.
One final consideration is ammunition type. Heavier bullets will produce more recoil than lighter bullets, so you may need to experiment with different types of ammo to find the best combination for your needs.
In general, compensators can be an effective way to improve the performance of your firearm. However, it is important to keep in mind that they are not magic bullets and will not make your gun shoot perfectly. Be sure to do your research and test different products to find the one that works best for you.
