Ok so I am just spitballing here throwing out some ideas I have had.
I get that thanks to the unsafe act a semi auto pistol with a detachable magazine cannot have a threaded barrel "capable of accepting barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip or silencer
1st as i type that out it doesn't say anything about compensators but the fact that it would still be a threaded barrel and many of those are the same thread pattern as a compensator
2nd it doesn't say anything about a compensator being a no go on the handgun (think 1911 with bushing mounted compensator) and nothing about not able to have a ported barrel
So I'm thinking one could be ok if say they had a smith perm. attach a compensator onto a threaded barrel which would then make it part of the barrel and effectively making it a longer ported barrel if anything.
Down side yes I get that the barrel would be perm. Stuck inside the slide (picture a glock 17/19 with one of those let's day TBRC micro comp as an example)
Is it ideal fuck no, but the gun can still be broken down enough for regular cleaning and if it eventually no longer wanted cut the barrel and put in the oem barrel.
