anybody have an XL with a standard lentgh 365 slide and threaded barrel with a comp? Can you post up pics? I have the opportunity to acquire a standard 365 slide, but I have an XL, so thought about maybe getting threaded barrel and putting a comp on it. bad idea?

Be better if you just look to acquire a X Macro comp slide. All factory and still uses the original 3.1-inch barrel, instead of having to look for an aftermarket threaded barrel and a separate comp.This message has been edited. Last edited by: 12131,

The factory “comp” can be worth it value-wise if buying new, but if you already have the short slide, a real comp (and not just a short barrel and ported slide with no blast chamber) will be more beneficial in reducing muzzle rise. Pistol-forum.com has a good amount of information from many users who have done just that. The Parker Mountain Machine comp and barrel seems to be the best option currently.
I’m thinking of getting into a 365 for just this reason.
This video has great views of the two setups you're talking about. Also, general consensus is a barrel-mounted comp will be more effective than the slide-cut comp. On the other hand, the slide-cut comp is more convenient to disassemble and less sensitive to ammo types.
