    M&P Shield compensator

    Posted by Gage Lowry on Sep 19th 2024

    This is a game changer for the shield platform. Such flat shooting, makes it feel like a whole new gun. HOWEVER, after putting a couple hundred rounds thru it, the recoil spring for my shield plus exploded. Not sure if the new comp caused the issue, this recoil spring style is kind of a bad design, and could have failed anyway. But it is possible the new system I have going on caused it. Hard to say.

    I would say that I take away more than 50 percent of the recoil, it's incredible.
