New 9 mm Equalizer PCC Compensator from Armanov

    Armanov is a high tech manufacturing facility in the European Union, based in Trzin in Slovenia.

    They specialize in shooting accessories for handguns, rifles and shotguns, as well as tuning parts and reloading accessories for Dillon reloading machines.

    Below you can see a selection of Armanov’s products.

    One of my friends had the privilege to tour their manufacturing plant in Slovenia, and came back impressed with their top modern CNC and laser machines accompanied with an attention to detail and perfection.

    Armanov has a new compensator made in steel for Pistol Caliber Competition called the Equalizer (9 mm). I haven’t been able to try it, but I had a look and feel at it and my impression was that the design with 3 chambers (large-medium-small) makes sense.

    You can check the video below for a deeper explanation.

    Armanov’s description:

    Equalizer compensator / muzzle brake was designed from the ground up by studying gas flow of the low pressure 9 mm pistol caliber. Three chambers are designed to catch as much gasses as possible and divert them upwards and at the same time reduce felt recoil. The result are faster follow-up shots in smaller groups and less overall movement of the firearm.

    It’s precision machined to tight tolerances, made of barrel steel and blued with matte finish. It’s built like a tank and will likely outlast the barrel.

    Chambers are radially shaped and feature smooth interior and no sharp corners to allow for smooth gas flow and at the same time ease cleaning.

    Equalizer also includes three custom fitted scrapers for cleaning/scraping each gas chamber. We recommend cleaning the chambers after every shooting session or after maximum 500 rounds. No additional chemical or mechanical cleaning is required.

    Several thread options are available to fit most barrels on the market, including 1/2″ – 28, 1/2″ – 36 and 5/8″ – 24.

    Equalizer has been designed and thoroughly tested by several highly competitive PCC shooters.

    The price is 147,60 (in the EU shop) or $147.60 in the US Shop.
