Finally got around to testing out the SGS-style compensator from Ric Gandy on my Beretta 92FS.
For those unfamiliar, this comp mimics the look and function of the old ALGIMEC/SGS units (as seen in The Professional, Underworld Evolution etc.), but with some updates like twin top ports, side vents, and internal refinements.
I did a simple range comparison: Shoot with no comp Then shoot with the comp installed Nothing scientific — just raw footage and visual analysis of muzzle flip.
TLDR for those that would rather read about it than watch the video:
Takeaways: It absolutely reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise — dramatically.
Honestly, it outperformed most Glock comps I’ve used. No functionality issues after 200 rounds.
Point of aim/impact didn’t shift — still accurate to 25 yards.
You will need to measure your barrel diameter so Rick can fit the internal ring properly.
It’s a bit of a “movie gun flex” for sure, but it’s not just for looks. It works.
Ric’s still making these in small batches, so if you want one, hit him up before he stops again.
Let me know if you’ve tried one of these or have questions!
