Strike Micro Threaded Comp - QUAD Review
What are some common accessories to add to the Strike Micro Threaded Comp - QUAD?
- Precision Recoil Spring Tuning Kit: A tuning kit allows you to match the spring weight precisely to your specific ammunition and the QUAD's effect, ensuring reliability and smooth operation.
- Red Dot Sight (RDS): The dot will remain closer to the point of aim during recoil, enabling faster follow-up shots and improved engagement speed, particularly in dynamic situations.
- Suppressor Height Sights: These allow for a co-witness through the RDS window, providing a backup aiming solution should the optic fail, thereby maintaining operational readiness.
- High-Quality Weapon-Mounted Light (WML): A potent weapon-mounted light is a standard piece of kit for increased stability and control.
- Thread Protector Cap: A thread protector cap for your 1/2′′×28 TPI threaded barrel will safeguard the threads from damage, ensuring the longevity of your barrel and the ability to re-mount the compensator securely.
Strike Micro Threaded Comp - QUAD Features and Specifications

Strike Micro Threaded Comp - QUAD FAQs
What is the primary benefit of installing the Pistol compensator on my pistol?
The primary benefit is enhanced control and shooting performance. The QUAD features wide front wall baffling that redirects gas to mitigate felt recoil and significantly reduce muzzle rise. This allows for faster, more accurate follow-up shots and a more stable shooting platform. Internal testing has typically shown an average reduction of 15-30% in felt recoil, dependent on the specific application.
What are the compatibility requirements for the Micro compensator?
The QUAD is designed for versatility. It can work with just about any size slide, from micro, sub-compact, and compact to full-size pistols. The key requirements are: * Your pistol must have a threaded barrel with 1/2′′×28 Threads Per Inch (TPI). * It is compatible with 9mm and .357 SIG calibers.
How does the anti-rotation system on the SMTC QUAD function?
The QUAD version in the SMTC line incorporates a built-in anti-rotation system. For most applications, this system utilizes the front tip of the pistol's guide rod to ensure the compensator remains securely in place and properly aligned during operation. However, this anti-rotation system may not be compatible with pistols that use a flush guide/recoil rod system.
Is the Strike Industries compensator - QUAD difficult to install or "time" correctly?
No, the installation and timing process is designed to be straightforward. The SMTC QUAD utilizes a clamp-style design, which simplifies timing the compensator correctly and ensures a secure and tight fitment on your threaded barrel.
What material is the Reduce pistol recoil compensator constructed from, and how durable is it?
The Strike Micro Threaded Comp - QUAD is built for durability and resilience. It is made from S45C steel and undergoes an HRC40-45 heat treatment. It is then finished with a black oxide coating to resist wear and corrosion, ensuring longevity even in demanding conditions.
Do I need to make any other modifications to my pistol after installing the QUAD?
Yes, this is an important consideration for optimal performance and reliability. Due to the reduction of slide energy achieved by the compensator, recoil spring tuning will be required when using this product. This ensures your pistol cycles correctly with the compensator installed.
What are the exact torque specifications for the set screw during installation?
For secure and proper installation, the set screw must be torqued to exactly 40 in/lbs (4.5 Nm). It is also recommended to re-apply Loctite® Threadlocker Blue 243® anytime the set screw is removed before reinstalling.
Where can I purchase the Strike Micro Threaded Comp - QUAD?
For the Strike Micro Threaded Comp - QUAD and other high-quality tactical gear, we recommend checking with authorized dealers. Atomic Defense is a trusted source where you can find this product and receive excellent service.
How much recoil reduction can I realistically expect with the Muzzle rise compensator?
While results can vary based on your specific firearm, ammunition, and individual perception, Strike Industries' internal testing has typically seen a reduction average range of 15-30% in felt recoil. This noticeable reduction contributes directly to improved control and faster sight recovery.
