    My vortex sits on a shelf, my AAC FS are on weapons. Its not a decision I would lose sleep over, both will work better than most other FS on the market.
    Stick


    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    I love my aac on my n4 basic. Looks and functional are top notch. I hate saying this because I'm not that kind of guy but I'd just choose based on what you think looks better.

    Does anyone have a picture of them side by side, or have information on how long each of these flash hiders are? I can't get a length estimate by looking.

    AAC? I think that as far as flash hiders are concerned they have an excellent product...


    Edited to remove off topic discussions about the AAC. Stick to the topic.

    The AAC flash hider is great, the actual length I can find out for you if stickman doesn’t get to it first. I will just have to remember to take some measurements.

    Here is a good comparison image of the different flashes

    I'm happy with my Blackout. I need to do some real "dark" low light shooting with it though.

    I still need to get some measurements of length for you, I only have access to the M4-200 blackout hider right now and then my own SPR/M4 to measure.
