I've been toying with the idea of either:
1 - Getting a 460S&W Mag revolver to match the rifle I already have in that cartridge. Most models have built in compensators.
Or
2 - Buying a conversion for one of my pistols to upgrade from 45acp to 460 Rowland. Requires a compensator for the slide to work correctly.
Do top ported handgun compensators increase muzzle volume in the same way a rifle muzzle brake would? From memory, I think the 460S&W Mag can operate up to 65K PSI and the 460 Rowland up to 40K PSI maybe. I think either one of these would be detrimental to my hearing if I had to shoot either without hearing protection at some point.
Thoughts?
