Abstract
A bushing/compensator device for a firearm is provided that includes a compensator member having a first aperture having an axis that is coaxial with the axis of the barrel. A second aperture has an axis that is coaxial with the axis of the guide rod when the device is mounted on the slide. A quarter turn bayonet mount is disposed at a rear end of the first aperture that mates with a bayonet mount aperture in the slide. When the bayonet mount is locked, the axis of the second aperture is aligned with the axis of the guide rod of the pistol, and when the bayonet mount is unlocked, the device is removable from the slide. A button assembly is retained in the second aperture and includes a head at one end and a fastener at the other. The rod is slidable from a first position wherein the head is adjacent to the front end of the second aperture, to a second position wherein the second end of the rod depresses the recoil spring plug. A spring biases the rod to the first position.
