The Faxon Firearms EXOS-524 Compensator (brand part no. FF-P-A-COMP-SS-MP-01) is built for the M&P Shield and Shield Plus in 9mm, threaded 1/2×28 at roughly 1.10 inches overall. Machined from 6061 aluminum with a black anodized finish, it uses Faxon’s uniquely angled front-port, single-chamber design to deflect gas upward instead of only sideways, cutting muzzle climb and recoil while improving reliability over flat side-venting compensators. Barrel protrusion is optimized for Faxon-branded barrels for a flush fit; with other barrels, protrusion should be .600 inches or less for the same result. Each compensator ships complete with thread locker, two 6-32 set screws, and a 1/16-inch Allen wrench.
