The TAPCO TAP22008 Compensator transforms Glock 19 performance by reducing muzzle rise and felt recoil during rapid fire sequences. This precision-machined compensator allows faster follow-up shots and improved accuracy for competitive shooting and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic thread protectors or flash hiders, this compensator features strategically positioned gas ports that redirect propellant gases upward and outward. The design reduces muzzle flip by approximately 30-40% compared to an uncompensated barrel. CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a hard anodized finish, it maintains zero shift while adding minimal weight to the pistol.
Key Features
- Reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil for faster target reacquisition
- Precision CNC-machined from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum alloy
- Hard anodized matte black finish resists corrosion and wear
- 1/2x28 TPI threading matches standard Glock 19 threaded barrels
- Compact profile maintains holster compatibility with most retention systems
- Multiple gas ports optimize pressure redirection without excessive blast
- Wrench flats allow proper timing and secure installation
Competitive shooters report improved split times in rapid fire drills, while the compensator maintains point of impact consistency. The aluminum construction adds approximately 1.2 ounces to the muzzle end, helping balance the pistol during extended shooting sessions. Weather-resistant anodizing withstands moisture, salt spray, and temperature extremes without degradation.
