How effective is the compensator?

I'd say it cuts the recoil down 40%. Instead of feeling the pistol buck in your hands you can feel the slide chambering the new round.

Nice looking gun, the comp gives it that long slide look. Those comps are on ebay aren't they? Around 30 or $40?

This is the only thing this guy is selling anymore, but this is the same thing I bought and the same seller. I bought nickel and mil-spec blued ones though for $50 each. These are 25 bucks more unfortunately.

Yeah I did some searching, on their website they have the blued and nickel for $45. If I had a stainless gun I guess it would worth the extra $.

As sexy as a series 70 can be.....im a modernist when it comes to 1911s, i like a lowered ejection port with the stainless barrel showing, and a 3 hole trigger and commander hammer . It has some old school charm to it though.

I prefer the old-school plain look. But I did buy this one a few days ago. Around $570 with the shipping and FFL fees.

It's an early Loaded model, I don't think they were available with the checkering and mag-well, Springfield could have done it though. It also came with 3 Wilson combat mags.
