I have a springfield 1911 in 9mm and was looking at getting a match barrel bushing compensator. Is there any dis-advantage to this type vs. the cone style?
Thanks,
Scott
There is a difference between a barrel bushing comp (which is a fake or copy of a real comp) and a real bushing style comp. The bushing comp will be longer due to it being screwed onto an extended threaded barrel and may weigh a bit more. If needed, you can go back to the stock barrel since the original bushing system is retained.-------The coned comp is a more compact set up and is generally used for most open guns. It can be installed on the stock barrel if threaded. It will require a reverse recoil spring plug which makes it more difficult to go back to a standard barrel and barrel bushing.-----Note that if you are going to install an efficient size comp, it will slow down the cycling of the slide and you will probably have to lighten the slide accordingly.
