The EVO320 is comped, thanks to a new threaded barrel and compensator from Killer Innovations. Let’s get this out of the way - aesthetically the compensator will be...Polarizing at best. I didn’t particularly like the visual design much when I ordered it myself.
What I did like was the unique construction that allows for tool-less disassembly and re-installation (after initial setup) that will allow me to completely remove the barrel from the slide for cleaning. The permanent comps on the RS320s don’t make cleaning a nightmare, but it’s certainly a bit more of a hassle. Having a compensator that I can take off and put back on without tools, that doesn’t have to be timed or loctited each time was worth the questionable aesthetics to me (my general rule of thumb is “function over form, but form where possible”).
That said, after getting the comp and barrel installed and mocking up the optic mount to finally see the overall picture, the intricate compensator combined with the machined grip module and frame-mounted optic is giving the EVO320 a bit of a cyberpunk vibe in the aesthetics department - and I must admit, I kind of like that;
Now I just need my gunsmith to get out from under the shelter-in-place order to drill and tap the frame for the optic mount, and the EVO320 will be functional
