Agree with simple is best. I almost didn't get this kit. I was originally interested because I saw the long slide model being shot without a compensator, and just the V2 recoil damper. That's what I wanted to do with this one, but after I talked with the company, they recommend staying with the comp on the standard 5 inch and below. A little disappointed in that, but not excessively, it's a little big for concealed carry anyway, so the comp not a huge detractor.
