I figure its just one of those "easy fixes" like the "can't mix ammo in a
clip"ruling.
For example, on a colt 1911, you can get a replacement bushing that acts
as a compensator (I'd say rating 1)
for 60$, an easy drop in part.

The actual venting of the barrel, which would not be removable, would
also not subtract from concealment, since drilling holes in a barrel does
not make it bigger in anyway :-)
This being why I added some rules for it on my site.
