It would seem finding a barrel and/or compensator for Glocks is not too difficult but any other pistol is darn near impossible.
Also the question about a comp for a 1911 seems very confusing and rare.
Lone Wolf Distributors seems to have the best options but they aren't made to match the pistol but they sound/read like very good comp's. Again, just try to find one.
So, questions:
1. Threaded barrels for pistols, any one store in Canada have a decent supply?
2. Compensators/Brakes for pistols, any one store in Canada have a decent supply?
3. Compensator/Brake for 1911 .45, worth it? Bushing compensators seem like a joke to me as they move with the slide, missing the expelling gases and increasing the moving weight of the slide.
4. Compensators/Brakes for pistols in general, worth it? Just for a sport shooter, not a competitor. Sometimes I take newbs to the range to try. Would a comp/brake make it more enjoyable for them?

Any way, just some questions that were bouncing around.
 
I went down this path with my Remington R1 Threaded Barrel and never found a compensator that would fit it. I'll be watching this thread to see if there's any suggestions.
 
You need either higher volume or relatively high pressure for a compensator to work effectively. A cartridge with both traits is ideal. 10mms work very well with a comp, 9mm works good and 9mm major works very good. I have never tried a comp on a .45 because I have never thought it would make much difference. A bushing compensator should work as well as any since the bullet is long gone by the time the slide has traveled much.
 
I have had a bushing comp on my 1911 45, it helped a bit, not a lot, does not effect the action, maybe with light springs?
I took it off as it is stainless 4 port and the gun is blue, I worked quite good on a commanderNP27. They run $100.oo
I had a new Jericho 941S with a threaded barrel, ordered a brake for it , but it was not really like a comp with the ports on the top.
It was round and drilled all the way around, it was not fun in a indoor range because of the sound
