I run a vg6 precision brake that I can run a griffin blast shield on. WELL worth the price for that setup. I wouldn't shoot a short barrel at an indoor range without a blast shield!

Put the Primary Weapons System CQB on my 7" pistol
Awesome!
Practically eliminated the huge fireball, and made the gun much quieter.

Can't go wrong with a colt A1 birdcage flash $7 and has little to no flash visible in daylight. Have one on my SBR.

A1 or 2. No sense in increasing the length of the gun. Simple and works.

I have a Manticore Arms Nightbrake on my 11.5" BCM and love it. Very effective at reducing recoil. However, as expected, it's loud and has lots of flash.

I put a Troy Claymore on my Sig PM400. Works great, cuts down on noise and blast.

Birdcage and use money saved to put towards SBRing lower.... If you live in free state.

I've got the AAC Brakeout 2.0 on my 11.5 with a blast shield. To shoot without the blast shield would be uncivilized.

I really like the knights armament MAMS on my 14.5" carbine and would love to put one on the 11.5" pistol I'm building for my wife but the price is tough to justify on a fun blaster. Finding one isn't exactly easy either. I went with a vltor vc-1.

this

they work better than most of the fancy ones do and are like 1/8 the price. dont buy one just because its cool.....unless that is you intent witch is fine too. no matter who you ask most all of use are going to say that the one we spent our money on works GREAT because it is ours and we spent our money on it. they all work. get the A1 or A2 and spend the money on ammo so you can shoot the gun.

A2 is perfect. Minimal added length and has function without concussion.

I agree with the others that an a2 works fine. If you need to direct concussion down range, the levang linear comp gets it done for a bargain price.

Beyond that, you start getting into personal taste, trends, and fashion. Which is fine, if that's what you're into. But reliable & simple still works!
