Glock 19 Compensators
The Glock 19 is one of the most popular pistols in the world. It is used as a service pistol by many military units and law enforcement agencies worldwide and is also an incredible all-rounder pistol for civilians. From competition shooting to home defense and concealed carry, the Glock 19 is competent in every application.
Because of this immense popularity, the aftermarket support for Glock pistols, especially the Glock 19, is incredible. Various parts allow you to customize your Glock 19 to fit perfectly into various applications. One of the most popular upgrades most people make to their Glock pistols is adding a compensator.
What Is the Benefit of Glock 19 Compensators?
Compensators are designed to redirect the excessive glasses from the muzzle in a direction opposite to the recoil impulse, decreasing the overall felt recoil of a firearm. The weight of the compensator and its upwards ports also reduce the muzzle rise of your pistol, allowing it to deliver quick and accurate follow-up shots.
Most competition shooters who use the Glock 19 install aftermarket compensators; however, you can also use a compensator for your home defense or concealed carry Glock 19.
Will a Glock 19 With a Compensator Fit Inside a Holster?
Well, that may depend on the dimensions of the compensator, but for the most part, you won't have any problems finding an appropriate holster for a Glock with a compensator. If you use an open-end holster, you shouldn’t have any issues with installing a compensator. Moreover, most manufacturers make their compensators to increase the length of the Glock 19 to the same length as the Glock 17, which allows you to use Glock 17 holsters.
Which Brands Make the Best Glock 19 Compensators?
Various brands make compensators for Glock 19s. However, some of the most popular ones are Killer Innovations, Tyrant designs, Radian, and Strike Industries. They make several compensators that offer considerable performance upgrades to a factory Glock 19.
