Has anyone attached this piece to a matte black coated 1911? did the compensator match your barrel as far as color shade?

No, my 1911 is a gov. Model with standard blueing on the side of the slide. The compensator has a standard satin powder coat finish over stainless steel. An experienced gunsmith can match the finish for you for little money.

I just got mine in the mail today and put it on. the color matched up and looks sweet as hell on it. I have a 1911 Rock Island.

the compensator looked amazing on my 1911, it did not match up perfectly and i was ok with that. It was until i decide to chamber a round that i realized it stopped my slide from going all the way back and not allow a round to be fed . i have since then taken it off and have been too lazy to return it, i have a springfield 1911 champion.

Yes, I put one on a Remington 1911 R1it looks like it factory.It was tight putting on but looks impressive, reduces recoil and has increased accuracy

the compensator finish, does not match my springfield 1911, i'm having it cerakote..

I put it on my r1 carry it has a black finish though not sure I'd call it matte black (the compensator has more of a matte appearance than my 1911). however, the color difference is unnoticeable short of close scrutiny. also there is a little disclaimer that comes with the compensator that they I didn't see in the description...yeah its probably common sense but they warn you to have a gunsmith examine for tolerances after installation and before shooting. if you do this your gunsmith should be able to coat it to match your 1911 exactly if you wanted to spend the cash.

You can t see the barrel when attached. But it matches the slide pretty well

Evening Mr. Fuchs//To Be Honest,I really do not know/=O[.*Gunner* wrote a Response to you andstated they would not fit,Possibly due to Length/Thread Pattern/Screw HeadType/Etc. I wish you *The Best in Finding Nice Screws that'll work for You*/=O].I bought the Polished version of these Screws for my *1911/Stainless Steel Colt Compact .45 MKIV Officer's Model.Best Regards//Raymond

No. The light requires a picatinney rail on the front underside of the barrel, your model does not have that, sorry.

This doesn't work on any 1911. The rail will move under recoil by itself - they will not reliably support the weight of a light or laser under recoil.

The part have a pretty decent finish on it, as long as it don't rotate I don't see how it can mess up the finish on your barrel. I've had mine on for just over a year and so far no damage to either finishes.

Please don't put this on a WW2 1911. It damaged the finish at the trigger and fell off after 10 rounds on my Ruger SR1911. Save some extra money and buy a magnetic rail adapter like the Ariete which has padding on the contact points http://shop.ramlite.com/M1911-M1911-A1-1911-All-makes_c3.htm

I have no idea, I purchased this compensator for an RI 1911 A1 FS and it fit like it was made for it. I do no know about your gun

I've looked for a pic of your gun and didn't find one; I would try it because there's a little bit of give to it; you can always send it back.Once it snaps in place it does not move.I am bias for TruGlo I have them on all of my guns.

Mag worked for me - Barrel gets too hot. Be-careful, over tightening can be an issue. Hope this helps! Fine tuning the laser sight can be difficult. The directions are sparse at best.

Never installed one on a 1911 or 2011. But I would say it SHOULD attach, but the fit/finish would be questionable. Viridian gives you several mount plates for Sig rails, HK, and standard pic etc. The part where you usually have a 'gap' is around the trigger guard (plus depending on length of barrel, you might overhang).As for a holster, I've had luck with both Blackhawk & UTG universal (large frame) weapon light holsters. I've since switched to the ATAC kydex holster from Viridian as my model became available.

Yes..and NO! The compensator will come off in terms of, you can screw it off for cleaning and what have you. However, there is a barrel "inside" inside the compensator. Really the compensator is just for looks and having an extended barrel for increased velocity and accuracy.

I put mine on my 1911. It has a key for flock models. I unsure if it fits a 26
856935
Yes it will fit, the compensator doesn't change the lingth of the barrel nor does it mess with the tention of the spring everything stays the same

Mine fits beautifully on the long action I have. Heavy barrel floats like a dream too.

I put it on my pt145, but I had to file the trigger guard down about a 16th of an inch. I used a fine file and when I got done you cant really see that its been filed. Nice little light.

I installed this on my Taurus 1911. The compensator fit on the front of the slide as if it were the factory bushing. The angled ports on top of the compensator are impressive and really made the addition stand out. But the really impressive part was when I took it to the range. The weapon operated flawlessly without any malfunctions, and the felt recoil was very comparable to a 9mm. But that was probably from the combination of the compensator and a Pachmeyer wrap around grip. (Which I also bought from amazon) I highly recommend buying the compensator. If it doesn't fit return it.
