Pistol Compensator

1 . A compensator comprising:

an outer surface that mimics an outer surface of a slide of a pistol, to which, the compensator is to be attached;

a coupling configured to support removable attachment to a barrel of the pistol; and

an aperture configured to support movement of a bullet through when fired through the barrel of the pistol.

2 . A compensator as described in claim 1 , further comprising one or more vents configured to vent gases when a bullet is fired by the pistol.

3 . A compensator as described in claim 2 , wherein the one or more vents are configured to reduce movement of the pistol when the bullet is fired through venting of the gases.

4 . A compensator as described in claim 1 , wherein the coupling that supports removable attachment is achieved through a threaded arrangement with the barrel of the pistol.

5 . A compensator as described in claim 1 , wherein the coupling that supports removable attachment is achieved through pin-and-grove arrangement with the barrel of the pistol.

6 . A compensator as described in claim 1 , further comprising a sight portion configured to support attachment of at least one optical sight that is viewable by a user to aim the pistol.

7 . A compensator as described in claim 6 , wherein the at least one optical sight is isolated from movement of a slide of the pistol when the pistol is fired.

8 . A compensator as described in claim 6 , wherein the at least one optical sight is a holographic sight.

9 . A compensator as described in claim 6 , wherein the at least one optical sight is an iron sight.

10 . A compensator comprising:

a single integral portion of metal having;

an outer surface having a sight portion configured to support attachment of at least one optical sight that is viewable by a user to aim a pistol;

a coupling configured to support removable attachment to a barrel of the pistol; and

an aperture configured to support movement of a bullet when fired through the barrel of the pistol.

11 . A compensator as described in claim 10 , further comprising one or more vents configured to vent gases when a bullet is fired by the pistol.

12 . A compensator as described in claim 11 , wherein the one or more vents are configured to reduce movement of the pistol when the bullet is fired through venting of the gases.

13 . A compensator as described in claim 10 , wherein the coupling that supports removable attachment is achieved through a threaded arrangement with the barrel of the pistol.

14 . A compensator as described in claim 10 , wherein the coupling that supports removable attachment is achieved through pin-and-grove arrangement with the barrel of the pistol.

15 . A compensator as described in claim 10 , wherein the at least one optical sight is isolated from movement of a slide of the pistol when the pistol is fired.

16 . A system comprising:

a pistol having a slide configured to support movement to eject a shell when fired; and

a compensator supporting removable attachment to a barrel of the pistol, the compensator including:

an outer surface having a sight portion having at least one optical sight that is viewable by a user to aim a pistol in which movement of the slide is isolated from movement of the at least one optical sight; and

an aperture configured to support movement of a bullet there-through when fired through the barrel of the pistol.

17 . A system as described in claim 16 , wherein the compensator further comprises one or more vents configured to vent gases when a bullet is fired by the pistol.

18 . A system as described in claim 16 , wherein the one or more vents are configured to reduce movement of the pistol when the bullet is fired through venting of the gases.

19 . A system as described in claim 16 , wherein the at least one optical sight is a holographic sight.

20 . A system as described in claim 16 , wherein the at least one optical sight is an iron sight.
