EXOS Compensators

Faxon EXOS® Pistol Compensators are engineered to reduce muzzle climb and improve shot-to-shot consistency while maintaining reliable pistol function. Unlike traditional straight-ported designs, EXOS compensators use a uniquely angled, single-chamber port geometry that redirects propellant gases upward and forward to better manage recoil forces across a wide range of 9mm pistol platforms.

Every EXOS pistol compensator is precision-machined from 6061 aluminum, black anodized for durability, and designed for a clean, flush-fit profile when paired with Faxon threaded barrels. Proudly American-made by a family-owned manufacturer, all EXOS compensators are produced in the Greater Cincinnati region using in-house CNC machining and rigorous quality standards. Each unit includes thread locker, set screws, and the required wrench—delivering a complete, purpose-built solution for shooters seeking a refined, American-manufactured pistol compensator.
