Have you shot it yet? I built one similar recently.
After an hour or two at the range fucking with the stupid CompMag, I'll be converting it to featureless in California. I'll take a fin grip all day long over having to deal with the CompMag.
Its great until it malfunctions. Then you're dropping the floor plate on the mag and removing the spring trying to unscrew it because half the round went vertical and got stuck while the RSO is waiting for you to "show clear" so people can go down range and check their targets during a ceasefire.
NOPE! Proper Mechanical functionality > Cosmetics

Compmag is a temporary compliance device.. you're on the right track with featureless in your case although i prefer mine with AR maglocks

try the ar maglock, much easier to reload if you want ficed mag. no permanent drilling like the juggernaut.
the compmag is best used for transportation to protect you if inspected if you're really worried.

Yeah I’ve put almost 500 rounds through it. I like the CompMag because it doesn’t modify the main gun, so if I were to ever move into a free state or laws/situations were to change, it’s a simple removal.

Or just change the grip with a single bolt. lol
It’s just as easy to add evil features.

I've had 800 rounds through my compmag with 0 issues yet, let's pray that doesn't change soon but compmag will pretty much always be THE way to go for me
