The QUAD is a pistol compensator from the Strike Micro Threaded Comp (SMTC) line that can work with just about any size slide using a threaded barrel with 1/2x28 Threads Per Inch (TPI). The wide front wall baffling redirects gas to mitigate felt recoil and reduce muzzle rise. SI internal testing has typically seen a reduction average range (dependent on application) of 15-30% in felt recoil. This QUAD version in the SMTC line has a built-in anti-rotation system using the front tip of the pistol guide rod for most applications other than pistols with a flush guide/recoil rod system.
