Well it is a well known fact that you can look up that adding a barrel mounted compensator can and will require a change of recoil spring weight. And this includes brand new pistols too. And it is also a well know fact that 115Gr 9mm ammo sold as range/training ammo in the last three years is underpowered which again can cause cycling issues with brand new pistols with or without a compensator.
And again , common knowledge that anytime you add weight to a pistol either directly to the slide or to the barrel, that extra weight can absolutely effect how the pistol functions. Add the extras weights along with weak ammo will only lead to headaches.
As
@MachIVshooter said, some of us have a lot more experience working on and/or building firearms and accessories than others do. I am a retired machinist/tool and die maker, and gunsmith. I have been down this road about adding weight such as compensators or suppressors to pistols and having both effect how the pistol cycles. Yes a barrel mounted comp will work but it won't make much difference versus running without a comp on most pistols.
As I stated before, a barrel mounted compensator will not make much difference in felt or noticeable recoil in pistols with short barrels. Plus the slower the bullet muzzle velocity is the less a compensator helps. A compensator will help with 9mm pistols with 5" or longer barrels du to the speed of most 9mm ammo. The same length barrel is a caliber that is slower, or even subsonic, will not notice any difference. Now when we get to magnum handgun calibers then yes a comp will definitely help reduce recoil and muzzle rise. Putting a comp on a compact, subcompact or micro 9mm pistol is a waste of time and money.
As MachIVshooter said, I won't argue with you, I will let my experience speak for itself. You can either agree to disagree or move on and argue with someone else.
