Any real benefits?

I have the Ruger Mark III below. I have the VQ trigger/sear installed and I have shot a 280 with it. I just ordered the VQ V Comp in black for it. Will this reduce recoil enough to notice during timed and rapid fire strings?

I doubt it but it will look KOOL!!!!!!!!

Most folks that have these say they don't believe the compensator dampens recoil much by gas redirection but more from weight distribution. Having the compensator out front changes the pistol's center of gravity and thus reduces felt recoil. Another universal complaint is these compensators tend to gather a lot of powder and lead residue. They are a pain to get all the crud out of the expansion chamber and vents.

I have one on a MKIII Hunter and us it for Bowling Pin shooting I does reduce muzzle flip.

I have found the best way to clean it is to use the bead blaster at work. I stick the muzzle in the end of it and give it about a 10 second blast and it comes clean.

Now cleaning the end of the barrel is a different story the crud gets backed on. Hoppes and a scotch brite pad does the trick though. I found some Welding anti splatter in the spray can is great. After I clean the muzzle break and the crown I spray it with anti splatter and it is a LOT easier to clean.

I also use the anti splatter on the front of the cylinder and the forcing cone on my revolvers.

Welding supply stores sell the Anti splatter or splatter shield as it is sometimes called. My local rural king store also sells it.

Thanks for the replies. We'll give it a try. If it doesn't help or is too much of a pain in the arse to clean, I'll remove it.

too much of a pain in the arse to clean

that's the WRONG cleaning method...
