When they say 'supression' they mean flash not sound.

Yes, I understand that, but the thread title can certainly lead one to believe sound supressor is the topic.
The product is named the "Superior Suppression Device".
Some call them flash hiders, others call them flash suppressors.
:shrug:
Just trying to save someone a click if they thought the link was to a sound supressor that got dropped into the wrong forum subection like a pile of other new threads every day.
'Suppression device' is as informative as 'round thing' for all the info the title offered.
I recently purchased one, will try it out tomorrow in a carbine class. It has replaced, at least temporarily, a BattleComp 1.0. I still have a BC on one of my other carbines but wanted to check this out as the BC is a flame thrower. I called DD before purchasing and they said it should reduce flash better than a BC while providing more comp characteristics than an A2 birdcage. For the money, it was worth the risk. If I don't like it I can reinstall either my BC or a Smith Vortex I have in the parts bin.
I won't be able to learn a great deal on the flash suppression front tomorrow as there isn't any night shooting planned but hopefully I'll be able to evaluate the comp characteristics. I'll be taking a back-up rifle with the BC so I may shoot them interchangeably and see if I notice any difference between the BC and the DD SSD.
Looks like it could be interesting, especially if it will give good flash supression and a little bit of compensation on recoil. Might be a good thing to try out especially with the 55 dollar price point. Could be a good go between something like a FSC556 and a pure flash supression device.
