Transform your shooting experience with precision and control. The Vantage Point Armory Compensator combines innovative technology with a patent-pending design, offering unparalleled functionality and adaptability for any situation.

Minimize Recoil / Reliable Compensation: Minimize recoil 20-30% and maintain control shot after shot. During firing of the weapon, the attached compensator funnels the gas from the propellant through the ports machined into the compensator.  This acts the same as other compensators on the market.  However, because this system is not attached to the slide or barrel it does not inhibit, change or impede the cycling action of the pistol.

Enhance Stability: Ehanced stability and  target reacquisition for unparalleled accuracy

Rugged and Reliable: Designed to withstand intense shooting sessions. Drop tests have proven the Vantage Point Compensator to be as rugged as it is effective.

Interfaces with the Pistol via a Weapon-Mounted Light: Ideal for those seeking enhanced performance with a weapon light:

Holster Selection: Any universal holster (e.g., PHLster Floodlight) or custom holster that normally accepts a standard frame-mounted accessory such as a Surefire X300U-A light will fit with no modifications to the holster because the accessory remains in the same location as when mounted using the original rails that originally came with the accessory. Learn more about holster compatibility here.

Standoff Device: When in a situation where the muzzle of the firearm is pushed up against its intended target, the pistol will not go out of battery and therefore it will still be able to fire with the compensator in place. 

Ease of Cleaning: Barrel-mounted compensators need to be disassembled and unthreaded to be cleaned which can be a hassle and time consuming to re-time the device. This unit can just be unclamped from the rail by disengaging the locking lug on the accessory for easy field stripping and cleaning of the firearm and compensator.

Price vs. Competition: Since the Vantage Point Compensator mounts to the accessory rail, there is no need for expensive aftermarket barrels.

50 State Legal: Since no threaded barrel is required, our compensator is legal in all 50 states.

Sleek Design: The designer has matched the lines of each individual slide to the compensator, resulting in a streamlined device.

Made in USA: Crafted with precision from premium materials in the USA.

Carefully read and follow the instructions below to avoid damaging your compensator and firearm. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury to the shooter and damage to the compensator and firearm.  As the Customer, you acknowledge and agree that it is solely your responsibility for complying with these procedures and checking your compensator regularly. We are not responsible for damage to the compensator or firearm. 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Assembling the Vantage Point Archon Type B Light-Mounted Compensator to the Surefire X300U-A (video instructions linked here):

Before You Begin, Ensure You Have the Following:

  • VP Armory Archon Type B Light-Mounted Compensator
  • SureFire X300U-A or X300T-A Weapon Light with the "P" latch insert
  • 3/32” Allen Wrench
  • Torque Wrench (optional but recommended)
  • Archon Type B Handgun (Gen 1 or Gen 2)

Installation Steps:

  1. Verify the Correct Light:

    • Ensure you have the SureFire X300U-A or X300T-A Weapon Light.
    • Important: The X300U-A model MUST be used with the SureFire Rail-Lock Kit, specifically the "P" latch insert. The X300U-B or X300V models (thumbscrew versions) are NOT compatible with this compensator.

  2. Prepare the Firearm:

    • Confirm the firearm is unloaded for safety.
    • Ensure your rail is clean.

  3. Install the Wedge Block in the Light:

    • The wedge block that comes with the SureFire X300U-A is essential for this installation. It helps take up any slack between the light and the pistol rail due to variations in firearm frame molds.
    • The wedge should fit snugly like a puzzle piece. Insert the wedge into the light and screw it in a few turns to hold it securely. This helps prevent wobbling and ensures a firm connection.

  4. Attach the Compensator:

    • Align the compensator with the X300 light’s rail lock. Ensure the compensator cutouts match the rail lock.
    • Insert the compensator’s lock bar into the designated notch.
    • Start by inserting the six 2-56 screws into the light’s rail lock one by one, securing them with light torque (5 inch-pounds). If a torque wrench isn’t available, tighten until snug, then add 1/8 of a turn. Do not overtighten as this may weaken the screws.

  5. Secure Using the Wedge Block for Additional Stability:

    • Adjust the wedge block if necessary to create additional tension, ensuring there is no movement once the light and compensator are attached to the firearm.
    • Use the side screw on the wedge block to compress it against the rail for a secure fit. Turn the side screw until you feel resistance, then add an additional half or full turn.

  6. Attach to the Firearm:

    • Depress the two wings on the light's rail lock to slide it onto the Archon's rail.
    • Release the rail lock to secure the light and compensator to the rail.
    • Ensure the compensator fits tightly. If there is any looseness, adjust the wedge block to create additional tension. This prevents wobbling and provides a stable, secure fit.

  7. Final Fitment Check:

    • Test for any play or movement by pulling on the compensator lightly.
    • Perform a quick function check by sliding the compensator back and forth to confirm proper clearance and operation. Verify there is a small gap (clearance) for proper function.

  8. Completion:

    • With installation complete, your Archon Type B with the SureFire X300U-A/T-A Light-Mounted Compensator is ready for use.

Upgrading your handgun with a compensator requires a higher level of maintenance and care. Ensuring that it is installed correctly and checked frequently is critical for proper function and safety.
