And we dont even have to prove damages!

It all works because of the subtle angles and placement of the openings.

The result means a theoretical reduction in recoil impulse to the shooter.

Close look at the Hellcat RDP compensator

What makes the RDP compensator noteworthy is that it does not require any tools that you werent born with.

Assembly and disassembly of the compensator entail basically screwing it onto, or off from the threaded barrel.

This key and notch design uses a spring-loaded lever mechanism in the compensator to secure the unit in place.

It does not rotate or come off while in use, and it requires no set screw.

Set the frame aside.

Turn the slide upside down, and youll see the small lever on the bottom of the compensator.

Removing the RDP compensator from the Hellcat barrel

Re-assembly is basically a reversal of this procedure, with a couple of key steps.

First, youll need to actuate the spring lever to get to get the compensator started onto the threads.

It should be visibly out of alignment at this point.

Does It Matter?

How effective is the compensator?

+P ammo, a good rest, and as consistent a grip as I was able.

Man tests recoil reduction from Hellcat pistol with compensator

I found that there was a noticeable physical difference in the recoil of the compensated Hellcat.

The compensated version rose 4.2 and moved just 4.0 rearward, its muzzle rise being only 38 degrees.
