So here is the deal.  I want to get a storm lake, kkm, or wilson threaded barrel for my Glock Gen 3 23.  I need help figuring out what compensator and what thread pitch they will be.  I don't want to spend 275 on the compensator, but don't mind spending that much on the barrel.  I would like to mix the barrel/compensator manufacturers.  Any previous experience or help is much appreciated.  Thanks gents.

He is its future home.

The most common thread pitch for 40cal devices is 9/16x24.
There is also the 13.5 metric left-handed pitch.

I put a Lone Wolf extended barrel and the comp they have for it on a G23 and in caused FT Feeds. They work great on the longer G22 but not on my G23.

Just too much weight on the end of that shorter barrel; it up-set the balance in the operating system.  Maybe a stronger recoil system would help I did nothing to try to get it to work yet.

You mean weaker not stronger right ?

No I did mean stronger.  

The barrel (with or without compensator) would not feed dummy rounds into the camber for function testing before I even went to the range. The longer barrel in the short 23 slide seemed to up-set slide velocity going forward due to the extra force needed to tip the barrel for unlocking. Not enough mass in the slide to drive dummy rounds into chamber.
