Frequently Asked Questions

Which compensated carry pistol performed best in the "Ultimate Comp Carry Pistol Showdown"?

The custom Sig P365 X-Macro build featuring a Radian Ramjet and Afterburner compensator was ranked #1 for its superior shootability, noticeably flatter shooting profile, and tightest rapid-fire groups, effectively behaving like a larger duty pistol.

How did the Sig Sauer P365 AXG Legion compare to other compensated carry pistols?

The Sig Sauer P365 AXG Legion secured the #2 spot, praised for its premium feel due to its all-metal frame and solid performance. While its integrated compensator was effective, it was slightly outmatched in flatness by the Radian setup on the X-Macro.

What are the pros and cons of the Shadow Systems CR920XP for everyday carry?

The Shadow Systems CR920XP excels in concealability as the slimmest and lightest option. However, during performance testing, it exhibited slightly more muzzle rise and less impressive rapid-fire accuracy compared to the more heavily compensated Sig Sauer models.

What is the benefit of a compensator on a carry pistol?

Compensators, like the Radian Ramjet/Afterburner or integrated slide cuts, redirect muzzle blast to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise. This allows for faster follow-up shots and a flatter shooting experience, making pistols behave more like larger, heavier firearms.
