VPA Light-Mounted Compensator

The Light-Mounted Compensator from Vantage Point Armory is a clever idea because the machined-aluminum muzzle device attaches directly to the Streamlight or SureFire weapon light of the shooter’s choosing using the light’s existing hardware.

Then the compensator and light attach to your handgun as a unit via the pistol’s accessory rail where it can quickly and easily be removed by hand whenever the two accessories aren’t needed.

When installed, expect a recoil reduction of 20 percent or more, in addition to noticeably less muzzle flip for faster, more accurate shots on target.

Available for select Archon, Beretta, Glock, SIG and Taurus models.

Suggested retail price is $150. For more information, visit vparmory.com.
