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.

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

more here: http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=163438

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

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
http://www.midwayusa.com/product/683...overnment-blue

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.
