Another difference between the C-9 and C-9 Comp. is the barrel length. Its 4 in (102 mm) barrel is 1 ⁄ 2 in (12.7 mm) longer than its sister weapon's providing for better accuracy and balance. The compensator and extra bulk also increase the weight.
Linear compensators and suppressors do not have the disadvantages of a redirected muzzle blast; they actually reduce the blast by venting high pressure gas forward at reduced velocity A muzzle shroud can be used in conjunction with other muzzle devices (such as a muzzle brake, flash suppressor or a brake/suppressor hybrid device).

The pistol had to be corrosion resistant, have a high mean rounds between failures (MRBF), and be able to serve as a primary weapon.
The Noveske Rifleworks KX-3 is a flash suppressor intended for use on shorter barreled rifles and aids in reliability. The back pressure generated through this type of flash suppressor helps to cycle the rifle. Noveske patterned this design on the muzzle brake found on the Soviet AKS-74U carbine, where it was explicitly used for this purpose.
