Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a threaded barrel to use the Strike Industries MDC on my Glock 19 Gen 5?
No — one of the MDC's standout features is that it does not require a threaded barrel. It is engineered to attach to a stock Glock 19 Gen 5 barrel, making it one of the most accessible compensator upgrades available. It is also compatible with aftermarket threaded barrels if you prefer that configuration.
Will this compensator damage my Glock 19 Gen 5's slide or barrel?
Strike Industries designed the MDC with a 2.5mm relief cut at the top rear of the compensator specifically to prevent lipping and contact wear on the face of the slide. The widened bore further reduces the risk of baffle strikes. No permanent modifications are required, so your pistol remains in its original condition if you choose to remove the compensator.
How much recoil reduction can I expect from the Mass Driver Compensator?
The MDC uses a gas-redirection principle — similar in concept to mass driver propulsion theory — to counteract muzzle flip and reduce felt recoil during rapid fire. Most shooters report noticeably flatter shooting and faster target reacquisition, particularly during follow-up shots. Results can vary based on ammunition load, but the MDC is most effective with standard pressure 9mm ammunition commonly used in the Glock 19.
