THE COMPENSATOR ATTACHES VIA THE WML; WE CANNOT INSTALL THE COMPENSATOR ON YOUR GUN WITHOUT THE LIGHT.
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.
It is possible to experience a failure with the Vantage Point Armory PX4 compact compensator that results from a broken or loose center tensioning or attachment screw. If the attachment screws become loose during firing, or breaks due to improper installation, it will cause the light body to droop downward, dropping the recoil lug out of engagement with the rail.
If this is not identified by the user, the compensator will slide forward with each shot, until it travels far enough down the rail and is able to bend downwards into the line of the bore. If this happens, you will get a baffle strike on the compensator.
THESE FAILURES ARE PREVENTABLE and AVOIDABLE:
Carefully read and follow the instructions below to avoid damaging your compensator and firearm.
-
All screws must be de-greased prior to installation. We recommend the use of isopropyl alcohol or alcohol wipes.
-
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.
-
Install both hex-head screws. Torque to 10-12 in/lbs.
-
Install the center slotted screw with its spring. (do not over tighten)
-
Witness mark all three screws with an oil based paint pen.
-
The first time the firearm is fired with the compensator installed, the screws should be checked after the first few shots to insure 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.
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. Please reference our Corporate Disclaimer for further explanation.

PX4 Compact VPA with TLR7 Sub
The fit and finish are excellent and it was easy to put in. Does not affect how the gun balances.

Does Not Mesh with Cut and Crown Barrel
I bought the Compact Compensator for my Px4 Compact that I had previously customized with LTT. The first thing I noticed was that during my first range day with it, the screws on the mount were coming loose. Normally I'd just loctite these screws, but the design of this Compensator requires you to remove it completely to disassemble and clean the gun. I stopped just 110 rounds in or so to prevent any issues. When I took it apart to clean it there was an incredible amount of carbon fouling and heat scoring on the barrel, slide and compensator. Even with CLP and a wire brush I was not able to get it off. I understand wear and tear happens on a gun, but my previously pristine LTT Px4 was basically marred within the space of 100 rounds. I think this is mostly due to the interaction of the compensator and my cut and crown barrel as I haven't heard this complaint from anyone else. My main complaint is that you can't loctite the screws on the mount from the flashlight because then you will have to break the loctite every time you want to clean the pistol.
