Faxon EXOS-514 Compensator for M&P 9mm

Faxon EXOS-514 Compensator for M&P Pistols

The Faxon EXOS-514 represents a thoughtful approach to muzzle management for the M&P platform. Built from 6061 aluminum with a durable black anodized finish, this compensator employs a uniquely angled front port design that addresses one of the shooter's fundamental challenges: controlling the gun during rapid fire.

How It Works

Unlike traditional compensators that deflect gas only sideways, the EXOS-514's angled ports direct gas upward as well. This dual-vector approach reduces both lateral and vertical muzzle movement, improving shot-to-shot consistency and allowing faster follow-up shots. The result is a firearm that stays on target more naturally, particularly valuable in defensive or competitive shooting scenarios.

Design and Fit

• Threads: 1/2x28 (standard for 9mm)
• Overall Length: 1.10 inches
• Finish: Black anodized aluminum
• Barrel Compatibility: Designed for flush fit with Faxon barrels; compatible with other barrels when barrel protrusion is .600" or less

What's Included

Each compensator ships complete with thread locker, two 6-32 set screws, and a 1/16" Allen wrench—everything needed for installation. The thread locker ensures your compensator stays secure through thousands of rounds.

The Bottom Line

If you're serious about improving your M&P's handling characteristics, the EXOS-514 delivers measurable improvements in recoil management without unnecessary complexity.
