How many of you use the AAC Blackout Flash Hider and how do you like it?
I have BLACKOUT flash hiders on every one of my guns, some suppressor mounts, some not. Best flash hider on the market based on my experience and what I've read, and very strong compared to other open-prong designs (drop/impact strength). The only complaint I've heard is that they make a tuning fork sound - it bothered me a little at first, but I don't even notice anymore.
Try one out. I run AAC suppressors almost exclusively so that makes my decision easy. The Surefire/BE Meyers is by no means "bad", and you probably won't be able to tell a difference between the two, but I would give the AAC a go if your primary concern is flash suppression. The only thing I like better than their suppressor mount flash hiders is their muzzle brakes...those, and the KAC inconel flash hider/brake/suppressor mount. That thing is just incredible!
The blackout and vortex are the best fh out on the market. The blackout slightly better but not by much in reducing muzzle signature. And if your not shooting suppressed I doubt you will hear the ping noise, I sure as heck don't haha.
Where is a good place to buy an AAC blackout f/h? Who sells them online?
Where can I get the silencer version online at?

It's true apparently. It's AAC's equivalent of a price increase.
Man are they ****ing horrible with P.R.
AAC's suppressor mounts/breaks are not currently available from what I understand

I definitely can hear the tuning-fork-like piiiinng when not shooting suppressed.
At at recent course, the instructor standing nearby, not familar with the Blackout, thought his earpro was acting up.
It doesn't bother me, tho; in fact, it is kind of entertaining. Definitely not a showstopper for not considering it.
Interesting. I have mine mounted on an 11.5 Colt commando, thin profile barrel. My mount rings like crazy when it's off the barrel, but when I installed it, it reflexed back over the shoulder of the thin barrel and that almost totally dampened the pinging.
I don't like the ping but, I wanted the suppressor. I don't regret it ether. I will buy a Comp if they come out with one for the M4/SPR.
