I did some testing today with three comps and an A2 flashhider and had some varying results on the shot timer.  Basically when I had a comp on the muzzle my times when up a second or two.  

Have you guys had any issues with your timer while running a comp?  I had the comp clipped to my shorts pocket.

Maybe the flash hider was really faster for you. What sort of drill were you running? How many shots and what distance? I can't see having the timer on your belt or pocket adding time unless it got bumped.

I don't know how that's possible unless your flinching from the extra sound created by the compensators which would slow down your follow up shots.

It was basically the first time I had fired any of the comps so I could have been flinching.  Looking at the video, the comps greatly reduced the rearward movement but like I said the 6 shot strings were slower.

I shot from low ready (same position every time), 6 shots from about 7 yards into a paper plate with a 3"circle in the center.  The goal was to keep all 6 shots on the plate, preferably the center circle of the plate and even better than that the 3" circle as fast as possible.  With the comps I had a couple strings over 6 seconds.  There was no way it took me 6 seconds to shoot 6 rounds.

ETA:  After watching the video again there is no way, something must have been up with the timer.  I was getting off 6 shots in well under 2 seconds according to the video's counter.

I think he's asking if the louder (?) comp is effecting the timer itself.

Is it recording the correct number of shots?

That was my original thinking but now I just think the timer was FUBAR.
