    I have BattleComps on most of my rifles including two 11.5 SBRs. They work well for me in that they add a component of muzzle control even beyond what I can achieve with training and practice. There's a little more blast and concussion than with an A2 and I probably wouldn't put one on a home defense rifle but that's not a problem for my use.

    I think they're worthwhile and advocate them as a useful addition to some rifles for some uses.

    OP- here is a good 4 part comparison series.

    I've owned them all; the z-comp and seekins were some of the best along with mb556k and fsc556. For what it's worth, now that the a5 is in play, I'm back to using the Triad or Vortex

    Best Compensator for my application

    IMHO, if you are not mounting a can, a2 all the way.

    The only rifles I have my AaC breakouts on are my 10.5s that I run an AAC can. The 14.5s run a2s...

    OP here is something a little different that I've had a bit of trigger time on lately. I feel that it does a good job of keeping the muzzle blast away from the shooter, and helps mitigate muzzle flip throwing all that forward.

    Normally I'm not at all a fan of comps and brakes because of the concussion, I'm a long time A2 fan.

    I like it. I run a Levang style linear (Black Hole Weaponry) comp on my 18" middie. I like the looks of this one much better.

    I don't have any time behind a Noveske KX3 but I'm under the impression that it feels similar. Its certainly a different take on a comp, but I can really appreciate that it keeps all the concussion and noise away from the shooter. I think the noise levels behind the gun are drastically reduced with a comp like this.

    My friend and I are currently working on a review of this product that should be finished up in the near future, either him or I will definitely post a thread about it with some video and a more in depth review, but those are my intial impressions.

    The A2 is old technology. It works well but I would like something more up to date.

    Please don't give me the whole "The Military still uses it and it was designed by the government." BS. I work for a military contract on AH-64 Deltas and I know Government quality. Shall we say, they break A LOT and easily. Not to mention they have been updated a few times and we are soon getting out Echo models.

    Anyway, I just want to get something that newer and proven to work. So far the PWS FC556 is looking to be the way to go for me. I am not a High Speed and Tactical type of shooter.

    The PWS is an interesting design. It controls the muzzle, and with some ammo flash is suppressed fairly well, with others its a flame thrower. However in comparison to the newer hybrid devices such as the Griffin, BCM, and Battle Comp the PWS has much more concussion and noise.
    I paint spaceship parts.

    I think the BCM comp is good.

    It is louder than the A2, concussion is not too bad either.

    I am not sure if it will blind you at night though.
