Anybody know where i can find a compensator for a star super b in 9mm?

Thanks

A better question might be, where are you going to find a threaded barrel for a B Super?

I am only guessing here...
But I would think you would need a barrel custom made that was threaded to accomplish this.
I would think this would cost more than a few Super B's would all together.

why would I need a threaded barrel? not a silencer its a compensator, just replace the front bushing just like on my 1911

because then its not really a compensator.

A quick easy read in this thread: see post #3 for why.... http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18590

lastly, I can't help bust ask why would you want to comp a 9mm?

does it answer my question where I can get one...

Just checking...

my apologies, you are correct.

I don't know where you can get one, the closest match is this Wilson one from Midway says it works "up to" 45 caliber

it is odd that there are many for the 45 but not 9mm, but I don't know if the barrel OD's are much different between the two calibers.

Thanks for the info., The OD on my barrel is 0.53 so I think its too big.

I owe you an apology as well...

Sorry about going down the suppressed road.
