Mr McNamara,
I am curious to hear your take on the use of muzzle brakes on AR-15s. They seem to be gaining rapidly in popularity, and I’m even guilty of having one on a rifle myself. I’m looking at this issue as a LEO for two reasons. One is the reduction of flash when firing in low/no light conditions. The other is when shooting around others (as LEO’s and military are more likely to do), especially when inside small spaces (interior rooms, vehicles, etc.). I could care less what competitors on the one way range use on their rifles, but I’m starting to doubt the viability of anything but a flash hider on a “working” rifle.
Finally, what muzzle device do you prefer overall?
Thanks in advance,
-K
