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.
Holster Selection: Custom Holster Required, or Apply Heat to Modify Existing Holster. 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 Glock 19 Rail-Mounted Compensator (video instructions linked here):
Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
- VP Armory Glock 19 Rail-Mounted Compensator
- Trapdoor Piece (included with Compensator)
- Two Set Screws (included with Compensator)
- Torque Wrench with 3/32” Allen Key (recommended) or 3/32” Allen Wrench
- Glock 19 Handgun
- Loctite
- All screws must have a medium-strength, medium-to-high temperature threadlocker applied in accordance with their manufacturer's instructions. We recommend a small application of Green Loctite 290 on each screw. Blue Loctite 246, 242, or 248, are also acceptable if you intend to remove the compensator more regularly, but these products are more likely to loosen under an aggressive firing schedule.
Installation Steps
1. Prepare the Firearm
- Ensure your firearm is completely unloaded and safe to handle.
- Remove the magazine and check the chamber.
- Make sure your rail is clean and free of debris.
2. Position the Compensator
- Take your Glock 19 rail-mounted compensator.
- Slide the comp onto the frame until the rail notch is exposed.
- Align the compensator so the trap door system can lock into place.
3. Insert the Trap Door
- Slide the trap door into the rail notch until it seats fully.
- Make sure everything is aligned straight before tightening screws.
4. Secure the Screws
- Apply a small amount of Loctite to the screws before tightening for added security during firing.
- Note: The use of Loctite is essential to ensure the screws do not back out over time with firing.
- Insert the torque screws into the compensator.
- Carefully thread the screws to avoid cross-threading (this is critical to prevent damage).
- Torque both screws evenly to 10 inch-pounds.
5. Verify Fitment
- Check that the compensator sits snug on the frame with no wiggle.
- You should see a small clearance (about .020") between the comp and the front of the slide — not a seal, but a tight, close fit.
6. Final Safety Check
- Confirm both screws are secure at 10 in-lbs.
- Visually inspect alignment.
- Cycle the slide to ensure there’s no interference with operation.
- Allow For Drying Time:
- Allow the assembly to dry for at least a day to ensure the Loctite sets properly.
- Witness mark all screws with an oil-based paint pen for future reference to detect any loosening.
- The first time the firearm is fired with the compensator installed, the screws should be checked after the first few shots to ensure it has been installed properly.
- Regularly check your witness marks to ensure that the screws have not loosened. If they loosen during firing, re-torque them immediately.
- If any of the attachment screws become damaged or loose, do not attempt to fire the handgun with the compensator attached. You will need to replace the screw.
Important Notes
- Do not cross-thread: Start screws gently and verify straight alignment before tightening.
- Torque to 10 in-lbs: Over-tightening can damage the system.
- Confirm all screws are secure and flush with the compensator surface.
- Ensure there is no movement or wiggle between the compensator and the firearm.
• • Check regularly: Verify torque and fit after your first range session and periodically during use.
- Alignment is Key: Proper alignment of the screws with the lock bars is essential for secure installation.
- Use Loctite: For enhanced security, apply Loctite to the screws to prevent loosening during use.
- Check Gap Clearance: Ensure there is a gap between the slide and the compensator to prevent any interference with the slide's operation.
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.
Results may vary depending on the handler. Vantage Point Armory is not in any way responsible for the misuse of firearms or firearm parts/accessories or the results of such misuse. We highly recommend gun owners inspect parts and accessories frequently. This will help mitigate the possibility of accidents and malfunctions.

How to Clean Residue from Your Firearm & Compensator
Residue buildup is completely normal—it’s just carbon and fouling left behind from firing. Over time, it can collect on your firearm and compensator, especially around muzzle devices. The good news? It’s easy to clean off, and it doesn’t damage or remove your Cerakote finish when handled properly.
Important note: We’ve seen cases where people try to scrub off the residue too aggressively, which actually ends up polishing the carbon rather than removing it. This can give the illusion that the Cerakote is coming off—but it’s really just shiny residue left behind.
Regular maintenance keeps your setup performing smoothly and helps prolong the life of your gear. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to properly clean that buildup and get your firearm looking and functioning like it should.
