Modifying a carry gun requires careful consideration of reliability over aesthetics. While grip texturing can enhance control, excessive stippling can cause injury. Upgrading to metal sights or red dots improves usability, but slide milling should be minimal to avoid reliability issues. Mag wells and aggressive trigger modifications are generally discouraged for concealed carry due to potential concealment and safety compromises.

This review tests Shadow Systems MR920 and CR920 pistols with and without compensators. Compensators significantly reduce muzzle rise, especially on sub-compacts, making them shoot flatter. However, they add length, may require new holsters, and should not be used to mask poor shooting fundamentals. Muzzle flash is not significantly increased, and reliability with common ammunition is confirmed. The added cost of approximately $100 is weighed against potential performance benefits.
