Faxon EXOS-524 Compensator – M&P Shield Recoil Control Without the Bulk

Elevate your shooting with the Faxon EXOS-524 compensator, specifically engineered for Smith & Wesson M&P Shield and Shield Plus pistols. Designed for everyday carry and performance shooting, this compact 9mm compensator delivers noticeable recoil reduction and faster follow-up shots — all while maintaining a sleek, flush-fit profile with Faxon’s threaded barrels.

Made from 6061 aluminum and finished with a durable black anodized coating, the EXOS-524 features a single forward-angled port that redirects muzzle gases to counteract recoil and muzzle climb. The result is smoother shooting, better target tracking, and a faster return to zero.

Installation is fast and secure thanks to the included set screws, thread locker, and hex wrench. Whether you're running drills or carrying daily, this compensator enhances control without sacrificing reliability.

If you want improved performance from your M&P Shield or Shield Plus — without adding unnecessary weight or bulk — the EXOS-524 is built for the job.
