The coating on these compensators will make it feel impossible to thread the comp on. You'll want to thread it back and forth, turning it a little further each time. After a few twists back and forth it is going to smell, its just the coating, keep going. After a turn or two, pull the comp all the way off and clean the barrel and comp threads. Add a drop of gun oil and repeat this process until it threads all the way on. Then, clean it as described in the video before adding their locktite. I know its a pain. However, the results are worth it!
@mariosoler676 it will get there, just keep working it back and forth and wiping it off. When you get to the end it will only go about a 1/4 turn past perfect alignment. Took me almost 45mins. My hands were feeling it the next day. If I had to do it again, I'd spend the money on a tap and chase the threads.
Thanks guys for the video, will you guys be doing a performance video shooting the comp, or will these be going out to any one who will be reviewing it.
Just received mine and it's also super tight, cannot screw it on as easy as the video shows. Factory threaded barrel, cleaned with alcohol. Comp gets tight after less than 1 turn, and cannot screw all the way in by hand.
It depend how fast those bullets are going. The video describes how to determine the spring to use. If your practice rounds are slower than your defense rounds, you might need different springs for optimal performance.
We test gauge every compensator before packaging. It is important that the thread on the barrel are clean, and putting a little oil on it to test fit it can be helpful. These are for the factory barrels, so if you have another barrel, it might fit differently. If it is overly tight, make sure there is nothing in the threads and if it is clean and it is still tight, please send it in to us and we can make sure the fit is optimal for you.
@@SpringerPrecision I've just installed it but the barrel was new just came in today and made the installation sadly the compensater got some scratches trying to turn it i put a rag over it but still made the scratches minor but it's all okay I believe
Loctited compansators suck. It's just annoying. Maybe talk to Springfield about their compansator system that clicks into an alignment notch at the bottom of the threaded barrel. It's super nice on the Hellcat RDP. And i'm sure you could easily license that system for the Echelon. Sure, licensing fees suck, but the improovement in ease of installation would be well worth it.
You overlooked two things 1. The barrels are not cut with a notch like the Hellcat. 2. Thread locker is much better than a screw that can damage the thread and need picture anyway. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Letting the slide slam shut on an empty chamber isn't good for the pistol. I'm surprised that you don't know any better. Why not produce and supply that polymer tool with the compensator?
I’m not sure where you obtained your information, but you should re-evaluate that statement and think about how it applies to a striker fired pistol that has no chance of sear bounce or movement to the firing pin. The striker is prevented from forward movement by the sear. We will be producing a wrench and making it available but will not require people to purchase it as it increases the cost.
Just ordered, looks amazing! 👍
Very nice!

Man you are not lying this shit Is tight affffff even with the oil it feels impossible

@@OregonBladez took a lil break saw your comment and got motivated finally got it all the way on there can’t wait to try it out!!
@mariosoler676 I'm glad it helped. You're in for a treat, they did an excellent job on these.
Nice vid , please indicate the shop to buy these parts and also ref for the comp, Spring and guide rod. Thanks
Wow, I thank you for the instruction. Now I'd really like to know where you got the compensator?
We made them and they will be available soon.
Thanks guys for the video, will you guys be doing a performance video shooting the comp, or will these be going out to any one who will be reviewing it.
Yes, we have more videos planned and we have made a lot of comps for a long time.
I'll be posting a review and comparison here soon as I have a day of good weather
You should include the wrench with the purchase of the comp, or at least sell them for a few bucks extra.
They are for sale for a few bucks more.
@@scottspringer5698 Nice!

I really want that compensator
I’ve got the bigger compensator for my 9 mm it’s awesome.
Does it match the design of the gun?
Can you send me a picture?
Hello, I saw the tool in the video, and it looks really helpful! Is there any way to access it or purchase it? I'd love to give it a try.
We should have some available late next week.
I'm generally using 115gr ammunition for both defense and range use. What lb spring would generally be suggested for this?
It depend how fast those bullets are going. The video describes how to determine the spring to use. If your practice rounds are slower than your defense rounds, you might need different springs for optimal performance.
Woukd you recommend the 14 lb spring or 16 lb spring?
It depends on the power of the ammunition that you are using. The video describes how the ammunition should eject to determine springing.
What’s the poundage on the stock recoil spring this pistol comes with?
16-18
Mine was hard just trying to install it. Are there some that already get tight quick I was not able to do it simple as you

Could you still use the stock guide rod and recoil spring
If you have powerful ammunition.
Where did you get the spring and compensator?
We make them.
@@scottspringer5698 oh ok
Do you sell the little tool?
We will be making some for sale.
Where can I get that compensator?

What is the time frame for restock?
it should be in a few weeks.
When is guid rod restock?
Please contact orders@spreingerprecision.com for customer support questions. Thanks
Can I just pay now and send it when it is in stock?
We don’t accept pre payment.
Shouldn’t drop the slide on an empty chamber!
It sounds like you need to update your pistol knowledge.
Letting the slide slam shut on an empty chamber isn't good for the pistol. I'm surprised that you don't know any better.
