Well I did what simonyha did and it worked. Stuck a couple of layers of tape around the muzzle end of the barrel to mimick a comp and it worked flawlessly. For about half a mag before the tape flew off.. The amount of force at work is amazing. Seems like I'm gonna get a compensator after all. Another question.. would a comp be pushed forward slowly like how the tape did? Or would the SD comp barrel be a solid piece of engineering? I'm looking at a new comp barrel by PDI as well..
Irregardless thanks guys for the help!
So far I've learnt that damage on the slide from the steel chamber is inevitable and that the only way to minimise that is to minimise the impact on the rear lugs on the slide chamber breach. I screwed mine up extra fast with the incompatible chamber. The hi-capa slide impact point seems so minimal compared to the ones on the P226. Would the "beefier" slide be a better investment? I'm thinking a new slide or a new comp with the comp barrel would be about the same amount of money to spend. Which would be a better option?
