Strike Mass Drv Comp For Glock 17/g3

Strike Industries Mass Driver Compensator for Glock 17/Gen3

Product Overview

The Strike Industries Mass Driver Compensator is a revolutionary design in the field of compensators. It leverages the principle of mass drivers used in space travel, where the ejection of mass generates an equal and opposite reaction, propelling the vehicle forward. This concept is adapted to firearms, where the compensator uses hot gasses expelled through the barrel after the round is discharged to counterbalance mechanical recoil.

Product Features

The Mass Driver Compensator is designed to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise by acting as a counterbalance system. It is built to be compatible with GEN3, GEN4, or GEN5 Glock models, including the Glock 17 and Glock 19. The product does not require a threaded barrel, making it a 50 State Legal option. It features a widened bore to reduce baffle strikes and keyholing rounds, and a 2.5mm relief cut at the top rear to reduce "lipping" and damage to the pistol slide.

Specifications

• Length: 35.85mm
• Width: 26.10mm
• Height: 16.25mm
• Weight: 3.2 oz
• Weight with Package: 6.7 oz
• Compatibility: GEN3, GEN4, or GEN5 Glock models, including Glock 17 and Glock 19

Installation and Usage

The compensator is driven by hot gasses expelled through the barrel, which moves the compensator forward as the slide moves back. This movement helps reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise. The product is designed to sit flush with OEM Glock slides, making it compatible with most open-ended holsters. It is recommended to use the compensator with non-threaded barrels to minimize potential issues with threaded barrels.

Performance

The Mass Driver Compensator has been tested and reviewed extensively. It has been found to reduce recoil and muzzle rise significantly compared to standard Glock models. It is noted that the compensator may require some getting used to due to the unique recoil impulse it generates. However, many users have reported improved control and accuracy with the compensator installed.

Holster Considerations

One challenge with the Mass Driver Compensator is finding suitable holsters. The compensator's profile is distinct from other compensators, making it difficult to find a standard holster that fits. Open-bottom holsters that accommodate compensators are recommended, though the compensator's lip can still catch on the bottom of the holster when drawing.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, it is recommended to use the compensator with non-threaded barrels and to ensure proper installation. A torque value of 25 lbs/in for the guide rod nut is suggested. The product is not recommended for use with +P and +P+ 9mm ammunition, as this can lead to premature internal spring wear and failure.

Conclusion

The Strike Industries Mass Driver Compensator is a groundbreaking innovation in compensator design. It offers significant advantages in reducing recoil and muzzle rise, making it an attractive option for Glock users. While it may require some adjustments in terms of holster selection and recoil adaptation, the compensator provides a unique and effective way to enhance shooting performance.
