compensator on a 9mm PCC

[verla]

is it really necessary to have a comp on a 9mm PCC? does it provide any advantage as far as recoil is concerned?

It depends on a lot of variables. With a light handload it will do basically Nothing. If it's a heavy comp it's weight may still calm the barrel some, but that will hurt your target transitions. 

 

With factory loads it will probably help some, so you have to weigh the benefit you are getting against any drawbacks you notice (slower transitions, increased length, etc). 

 

With hot handloads you can get them to work pretty well. 

 

So it depends on your gun and what you are using it for.

Yes.
