A compensator is intended to redirect the gas pressure wave that leaves the bore when a bullet is released from the barrel. This gas is then redirected (in most cases) upward to reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil. Less felt recoil generally means less force is applied to cycle the slide, so a reduced force recoil spring is necessary. The...
