#StrikeMicroThreadedComp

The laws of physics can be so annoying. As much as we’d like to be perfect shooters every time, there are universal rules that we fight against. A great example of this is recoil. Isaac Newton famously wrote, “To every action, there is always opposed an equal reaction.” As the bullet leaves the barrel, it’s our job to tame the reaction. Compensators were designed to help combat this. If you look at the guns used by high-level Open Division shooters, you’ll notice the lack of muzzle flip. This is thanks to solid fundamentals, as well as mechanical advantages like comps. Today, we’ll be looking at the Strike Industries compensation system, which consists of their Strike Threaded Barrel and Strike Micro Threaded Comp.

Strike Industries have released the new Strike Micro Threaded Comp (SMTC) family of handgun muzzle devices. This new product line currently includes two 9mm pistol compensators called CIRCLE and QUAD. Both muzzle devices have side muzzle brake ports and a top muzzle rise compensation port. The CIRCLE (the left one in the picture above) has a simpler low-profile design whereas the  QUAD is taller with larger side ports. Let’s take a look at the specs and performance of each of these new SI comps.
