Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
What muzzle devices do you use?
I have been looking for a new muzzle device. I use a Midwest 3 chamber comp right now, looking for something different.
What do you like to use? Looking for something a little more quiet.
If you want something quieter than a brake, get a flash hider or even better a Can. I personally use muzzle brakes, noise be damned.
What ever suppressor i run, has that brake on it. While very annoying to other shooters, i like the brakes over f/hiders. It acts as one more "blast baffle" in my suppressor.
For unsuppressed rifles, basic YHM 3 prong style units.

If you want a good effective comp with less concussion, there are three that on the top of that pile. Seekins STC, Dynamic Resistance and the Gas Hog.
51T all the things
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

Great suggestions. I will be looking into these.
Normally I shoot alone or at outdoor ranges that are pretty spread apart. What brought this on was swapping weapons with an ex-military buddy. His DD AR and my Colt were two different beasts in the noise department.
A muzzle brake will greatly reduce recoil but will be loud. You will likely shoot fireballs out of a short barrel
A flash hider is great for reducing flash signature, but you will have more felt recoil.
I tried to bump fire a rifle with a brake, recoil was reduced so much that it wouldn't even "bump". Added a blast chamber to direct the blast forward and I was able to bump fire it.
I have AAC cans, so i run all 51T brakes (except for 1 flash hider)

My Feedback
Why are you looking for a new one? What are trying to accomplish with it?

Looking for something a little more quiet for the people next to me. Hell, I can feel the blast every time a round is fired. Normally I wouldn't care, but just trying to be respectful to others.Originally Posted by SouthPaw
I've found the BCM Comp to be less abusive than most brakes but still effective at reducing recoil & muzzle rise.
