Just wondering if a heavy bushing type compensator on a 1911 can damage the slide where the bushing is held.
I mean, during shooting the slide is pushed back at high velocity, now if the bushing is a lot heavier (compensator) than the original inertia exerts a lot of force on the lug and the tiny recess where it engages in the slide.
I'd like to install that compensator but I'm kind of worried that it will damage the slide over time.
Any experiences?
This kind of compensator, it simply replaces the original bushing, and with 2.4 ounces its a LOT heavier than the original bushing:
