    Bushing compensator vs Threaded Traditional.

    A bushing compensator may have a 'tactcool' look, but everything I've heard of them = cheap rubbish. To put a compensator on a 1911 you need a longer barrel that extends forward of the slide and have a firm like Mag-Na-Port put the cuts in the barrel. -and-...
