Abstract: A firearm compensator having a cylindrical body with a central bore. The posterior end of the compensator has a muzzle receiving cutout for allowing a firearm muzzle to couple to the cylindrical body such that a longitudinal axis of the central bore is aligned with a longitudinal axis of a bore of the firearm. Radial ports are spaced circumferentially around the central bore and extend radially outward providing fluid communication between the central bore and the ambient environment. Axial ports surround the central bore such that a longitudinal axis of each axial port is parallel to the central bore and spans from an anterior face to the muzzle receiving cutout providing fluid communication between the ambient environment proximate to the anterior face, the muzzle receiving cutout, a series of the radial ports, and the central bore. Each of the radial ports has no directly opposing radial port.
