Pleasantly surprised
I bought the Faxon Glock 34 threaded barrel and the EXOS Comp. The compensator does a great job of cutting the already low recoil of the Glock 34 and the barrel is as accurate as the Glock factory barrel. I have zero complaints about both of these products, especially for the price compared to other products.

Faxon Comp for Glock Gen 5
Awesome product! It is easy to install and it looks good on my Glock 19 Gen5. Can’t wait to take it to the range.

Gen 5 comp
Got it on sale and there's not anything better you can get for the price. Be cool if they made the same one just a little more compact,about 2/3rds the length.

Glock 19 Gen 5 Comp
Excellent Comp. I did need a 13lb spring to run reliability, but no big deal

FAXON Comp for 19X
Pairs perfectly with the FAXON G19 Threaded Barrel. Looks and feels great on the G19X platform. 100% would recommend to those thinking about upgrading to the FAXON Compensator for Glock.

Gen5 comp and barrel
Barrel and comp fit up nice. Look great on 19x. Faxon should have an option to add photos.
