Just curious what comps/brakes y'all are using? I have a KX-3 on my 16" carbine (carbine gas system) and it gives great blast and flash control but a little too much back pressure...I'll probably save it for an SBR.
Thoughts?
Thanks,

FSC556 is top on my list
great unit works well not to offensive good job at reducing flash if that is a major concern for you
surefire is another i use good unit blows shit every place while in various postions
I have a triple tap in route.
10" SBR = AAC Blackout M4-2000 Mod 07 mount
10" SBR = PWS FSC556 Gemtech G5 mount
16" BCM Limited 3gun rifle = KAC Triple Tap comp
16" BCM Tactical 3gun rifle = Benny Hill Rolling Thunder brake / Surefire 556K brake
16" 6.8SPC hunting AR = PWS FSC30
16" .22 TacSol upper = Smith Enterprises Vortex
PWS FSC 5.56- Like it but going to try someting a little shorter. Maybe a TTO or VLTOR comp.
My vote is for the FSC556 as well. It does a noticeable job of reducing muzzle climb for followup shots. I have not shot it at night so I can't comment on the effectiveness of the flash suppression.
I will say that 99% of my shooting is done outdoors, so I had a rude awakening when I took the rifle to an indoor range and felt the blowback/diffusion from the brake as it bounced off the divider walls and hit me on every shot.
If you shoot indoors, find out which brake will cause you the least discomfort.
I would also suggest the FSC556. I use one on my midlength ar 16 inch barrel. I love it.
pws dntc. it's like the fsc556 but without the prongs.
Ordered a PWS FSC556/QDSS today! The QDSS mount was a shorter but as effective version of the FSC556. I REALLY wanted the TTO but I REALLY did not want the flash that was going to come with it! We'll see!
Thanks for all your help!

SF MB556K for me
SJC TITAN for competition
