Common Myths About Glock Compensators

Many people are not sold on the compensator idea because they feel that a compensated weapon is not as good as its uncompensated counterparts. However, this is not the case at all. There are plenty of myths associated with compensators. Let’s check a few of them and compare them to actual facts:

The flash is blinding and destroys night vision

No, the muzzle flash of a compensated weapon won’t blind you. The flash is definitely there, but it will only disorient you if you can’t see your target. In which case, you will literally be shooting in the dark!

If there is no ambient light, you might consider using a flashlight or a pistol light to illuminate your target. This way, you will always protect yourself from making a terrible mistake.

The gasses released by the compensator can seriously injure the user

Yes, you might be injured by the gasses released by your weapon, but that is only possible if you put your eyes and face right next to the muzzle. Most responsible shooters won’t want to do anything of the sort.

Should you hold your weapon very close to your upper body, you might end up with gas residue on your face. However, this will only disorient you a bit, and it won't cause any damage. While being uncomfortable, it is certainly not dangerous as such. 

During normal use, these gasses won’t be anywhere close to your face. You should always wear eye protection whenever you use your handgun or any other weapon, in any case. 

The compensator will jam my weapon

Every gun has its own specific type of compensator. If you use one that is too big or too small, it will lead to reliability issues. As long as you use a comp that has been specifically designed for your weapon, you are good to go.  

Herrington Arms’ Glock Compensator

The HC9C is a uniquely small compensator. One that can fit Glock models gen two to five as long as they are 17, 19, and 26. It will substantially reduce real and felt recoil on your Glock and turn it into the ultimate race gun. It is so tiny that you will be able to conceal carry your Glock just the way you always did.

This small but effective micro compensator is the ideal accessory for your Glock pistol. If you want to increase your speed and accuracy, and level up your game, it is time to get a glock compensator. Herrington Arms’ HC9C 3.0 clicks all the boxes when it comes to light and effective compensators.

What Difference Does a Compensator Make?

All guns generate recoil, which leads to muzzle flips. As a general rule, the more powerful the caliber and the lighter the gun - the greater the felt recoil. Many weapons such as the Berretta PX Storm, have a rotating barrel mechanism that shifts the recoil backward. However, the vast majority of big bore handguns work on the principle of the tilt-breech lock barrel mechanism.

This means the weapon is pushed upwards every time you take a shot. When that happens, it takes longer to get back on target. You can use a compensator to reduce muzzle flips.

How Does a Compensator Work

This device can be attached to the gun barrel. It directs the gases created by exploding powder, in a specific direction. Whenever you fire your Glock or any other pistol, the force of the explosion will push your weapon upwards.

However, the compensator will channel the gases through holes bored in its surface. They will release the gas upwards, thereby pushing the weapon in a downwards direction. This will mitigate the muzzle rise and ensure that your weapon doesn’t jump upwards, but remains on target. Many guns are internally compensated which means their barrels are internally ported with corresponding cuts in the slide to accommodate porting vents. 

Some compensators also perform double duty as muzzle brakes. They have side ports that are designed to help reduce both felt recoil with muzzle rise. Compensated handguns are not only easier to shoot accurately; they also make one-hand shooting much more comfortable. You will feel a definite difference when you engage a target with your off-hand while using a compensated pistol. Compensators also make it easy to engage multiple targets rapidly and accurately.

Herrington Arms’ Glock HC9C 3.0 Compensator

This very small yet extremely effective compensator is specifically designed to work well with the Glock 9mm series of pistols. You can accessorize your Glock 17, 26, and 19 models with the HC9C compensator. As long as your Glocks are from generations 2 to 5.

Since it works perfectly with OEM stock springs, there is no need to tinker with the insides of your everyday carry weapon. The HC9C 3.0 will substantially reduce the recoil impulse of your carry weapons. It can also be easily concealed in your regular carry holster.

You can enhance the performance of your Glock with Herrington Arms’ glock 19 gen 5 compensators. It will transform your stock weapon into the ultimate carry package.

What Does a Compensator Do for Your Glock 17?

The Glock 17 created a revolution in the world of contemporary handguns. From its extreme simplicity to its reliability - to its ease of maintenance, there never has been a gun quite like the Glock. This is why military units and police as well as civilian firearm enthusiasts the world over, love the Glock so much.

However, it is possible to improve on perfection. Just like most other powerful handguns, the Glock also works on the locked barrel, tilt breech principle, which is why muzzle flip is inevitable. While the weapon’s low-bore axis helps to a certain extent, it still leaves a lot to be desired. 

The weapon bucks every time you shoot, and it takes time to realign the sights and take the next shot. This reduces both speed and accuracy. However, you can mitigate the felt recoil by adding a compensator to your Glock.

This is a very simple barrel attachment. It is designed to ensure that you get back on target as soon as possible by reducing real and perceived recoil. A well-constructed compensator will also help increase muzzle control not just at the range, but more importantly, in a defensive situation. Your Glock compensator will help curb muzzle movement so that you will be able to take faster and more precise follow-up shots.

How Do Compensators Work?

As the very term implies, the compensator essentially ‘compensates’ for the violent reaction of rapidly expanding gases that propel the projectile towards its target. These gases push the pistol upward. The compensator channels these gases via its port holes. As the physical force of the shot pushes the muzzle, the compensator vents gases and pushes it down, thereby counteracting the force of the recoil.

This results in minimizing the movement of the weapon in your hand, especially during rapid-fire scenarios.

Herrington Arms have created the ultimate Glock Micro Compensator in the form of the HC9C 3.0. This small but highly effective compensator substantially reduces recoil when installed on the Glock 17.

How the CZ P10c Compensator Ensures a “User Friendly” Experience

The CZP-10c and its P10f cousin are amongst the CZ brand’s recent forays into the polymer and striker-fired world. Unlike many other similar pistols, the CZ P10 series works well and doesn't give FTF and FTE issues. However, its high bore axis makes for a gun that’s a bit jumpy. 

In other words, the tilt barrel mechanism of the gun flips its muzzle upwards every time you fire a round. The greater the flip, the more time it would take to align the weapon back on target. This also creates problems for novice shooters since the felt recoil is high enough to make them flinch. I.e. lower the muzzle of the weapon before, or while squeezing the trigger. Not only will it throw your aim off, but it might develop into a very bad habit that’s almost impossible to eliminate.

However, this issue can easily be rectified with the help of a compensator. As the gases force the barrel upwards, the compensator will push it downwards, thereby negating the recoil impulse. This leads to a more user-friendly experience as the weapon remains on target, and you feel like you are shooting a mild .32 ACP load instead of a full-power 9x19 one.
