    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 )
    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.
    Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus (519 BC – 430 BC) Power should only be given to those that want it least.

    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.
