Surefire or PWS?

I have a 16" BCM middy that used to have an A2 on it. I now use the PWS FSC556. Not much difference between the two at my indoor range. I have to be honest, fi the difference in concussion is so drastic as to generate discomfort, the quality of the hearing protection being used must be called into question. I used to mix large concerts as a profession before I became an LEO…there is a huge dif between cheap ‘ears’ and good quality hearing protection. I have no issues at al shooting in narrow lanes w/ full house Fed XM193 ammo at my indoor range. Good muffs and/or good foamies are a sure cure for this issue. I use custom ear molds, but those are too spendy for most folks. I mean no condescension, but if the SF or PWS hurt your ears, you need better ear protection; they are not that much louder than an A2 from the shooting position.

I’ve also found that the ‘enormous concussion’ felt to the side of the shooter is no worse to my ears than a SA M1A in .308 with the standard FH…or any other .308 bolt gun. YMMV.

I have a few of the PWS FSC556 devices and I’ve never received any complaints in class. They are not as bad as most of the comps/brakes out there…
