Looking for Flash Hider with Good Recoil Compensation

@CHIMO

I run the Great Lakes Tactical Commander brake on mine. Good flash suppression and good flash reduction. Highly recommend it.

I have seen it on IG. Are there any videos of it?

Stumbled onto this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XJWc82dURY

Cannot say it offers anything useful though, just some guy firing a 16" carbine with it on the end, in a pseudo comparison to 2 other 16" carbines, one with an A2 the other with a Lantac. No comments describing the shooter’s perception of performance. Video seems to show all 3 performing about the same, which to me implies the shooter has good recoil and muzzle control, as I would expect a major difference between the A2 and the two brakes. Not impressed with technique of clamping rail in a vice in order to install a muzzle device, but that’s another issue.
One concern I have about the GLT device is what appears to be an open port at 6 o’clock, likely to raise a dust cloud in prone.

Watching the installation made my head hurt. I think someone just sent me one of those to install on an upper I am building for him.

So, to summarize a little . . .

Battlecomp 1, 1.5, 2
Griffin Armament Flashcomp
Precision Armament EFAB or AFAB
BCM Comp
KAC MAMs
Great Lakes Tactical Commander

I like the Griffin quite a bit, but the BCM/Griffin/Battle Comp/PA are all pretty similar in my experience. I haven’t used the KAC.

also possibly
OSS Banner Alpha (I have been curious about this one, but need another flash hiding compensator like I need a hole in my head :suicide:)
Black River Tactical Covert Comp (linear, so less blast; reportedly good flash hiding; but likely less compensating)
VG6 Precision Epsilon

I’ll give another thumbs-up for the BCM Gunfighter comp. My BCM 14.5" mid-length has one, and it makes for a very soft-shooting AR. And it looking relatively similar to an A2 is a plus to me.

Having used the A2, PWS FSC556, BattleComps, BCM GF Comps, & Griffin Armament FlashComp extensively (excluding Muzzle Brakes obviously)… the Clear Winner by Far is the Griffin Armament Flash Comp, IMHO. 2nd Place would goto the BCM GF Comp. Just my 2 Cents, take it or leave it.
