Vortex Flash hider

[WaterChunker]

I have been thinking about getting one, did some research and have found nothing but good things. What do you guys think about it?

[ssracer]

I've got one and it does a damn fine job. Does nothing for reacoil reduction of course as it is not a compensator. Few do a better job at hiding flash and the ones that do are usually a good deal more money.

Many tests have shown it to be the clear number 2 muzzle device for flash suppression after the AAC blackout. Both are really effective and it' close to being a negligible diff. b/t the two.

So having said that....Is it worth $50 more to have the very best flash suppressor?

I love blackouts and that is what I run but its not the most prudent decision considering that Vortex's work awesome at half the cost.

I haven't heard of blackouts before.

I notice they both make a ringing sound. I wonder if its because of its design lol sounds like a tuning fork.

AAC Blackout isn't twice the cost of a vortex unless you get a QD version. Midway USA carries them

Is this is? If so I found it for basically the same price as a vortex. I see there are different versions,..is this the right one?

Exactly. They are both around the same price for the non suppressor version. I like the looks of the blackout better also.

I didn't know there was a less expensive version of the blackout....interesting...learn something new every day....lol

Vortex's also don't need crush washers, peel washes or rocksett. Al you do is screw it on and give a good twist. Its tines or flutes are angled so it self tightens as it fires.
