He was asking about a compensator and we are talking about suppressors.

I personally didn't know that you could screw on a compensator.

And when the original poster talked briefly about rifles, was he talking compensator or flash hider?
I am pretty sure there are some you can, I was really curious about if there was some hidden benefit to shooting with a threaded barrel with nothing on it

hearing protection? politeness? If I lived in the country, and my neighbor was going to do a 500 round pistol shoot I'd appreciate a muffler on the gun.

Hollywood has tried to teach us that only assassins use suppressors.

In places like New Zealand, they're cheap and considered a polite accessory a responsible gun owner uses.

I guess I miss the point of putting a suppressor on a pistol in the first place, I can understand a rifle but why a pistol?

Why shoot a threaded barrel without a comp?

So if you watch the magpul pistol video trailers it looks like they are shooting M&Ps with threaded barrels but no comp. Why would you put a threaded barrel in a gun then shoot it without a comp?
