Faxon Firearms EXOS-553 compensators are designed for Glock® Gen 5 9mm pistols. Fitment with other pistols or generations cannot be guaranteed.


Testing for fit and function was performed on these models specifically:

Constructed of 6061 Aluminum with a black anodized finish, Faxon Pistol Compensators feature a uniquely angled front port single chamber design, enabling the compensator to improve consistency while reducing muzzle climb and recoil. The angled ports allow gas to deflect upwards as opposed to only deflecting sideways, reducing up and down muzzle movement and improving reliability. Barrel protrusion is designed to fit flush with the slide and has been optimized for Faxon branded barrels. For all other barrels, the barrel should protrude .600” or less for a flush fit.


Each compensator comes complete with thread locker, two 6-32 set screws, and a 1/16 Allen wrench.

*Compensators can affect the timing of your pistol and may require adjustments in lubrication, ammunition, and other areas.
