Linear design and compact footprint

Linear compensators redirect gas forward rather than to the sides, minimizing blast signature and keeping your shooting position stable. The XL Slim variant threads onto 1/2x28 barrels common to many modern pistols. Kaw Valley Precision engineered this unit to perform without excessive length, making it practical for both range work and defensive builds.
