Very nice, How does it work out for you with the clips? a friend of mine at my local field has problems with the paint balls jamming in the clip cause they get squished together.

I realize the compensator cuts are a non- functional cosmetic thing but they are cut in the wrong direction. They should be angled back not forward if you wanted to actually compensate for recoil and muzzle climb. It still looks cool and I doubt most people will notice it.

They are angled backwards.

Looks nice. :shooting:

Reguardless they match this

And match the lines of the gun nicely.

Yes, it does look like that P22 "fake compensator" you have linked there. I agree the cuts do match the lines nicely.

Haha that was my first thought too. Looks nice though.

Looks like they're milled ok to me, from the compensators i've seen they are also straight up, as long as it vents the gas upward it would make sense that it would reduce muzzle climb.

Venting up forces the barrel down, compensating for muzzle jump. Venting back forces the barrel down and pulls the pistol forward, compensating for recoil and muzzle jump. You've got the idea; it varies from firearm to firearm, but those are the rules that tend to hold true.

Venting forward forces the barrel up and back, which would increase recoil and muzzle jump.
