Abstract: A compensator attachment for a pistol which is formed of an elongated housing within which is included a box-like internal chamber that is open to the bottom surface of the housing. The barrel and slide of the pistol is to be locatable within the internal chamber with the barrel connecting with a compensating chamber mounted in the front end of the housing. A gas discharge port arrangement connects with the compensating chamber with this port arrangement to eject gas expelled from the barrel to reduce the recoil of the pistol. The back end of the housing includes a threaded fastener which is to be used to tightly secure the housing to the aft end of the slide. The housing is to be quickly removable from the slide.
