    Which muzzle device (not a can) to mitigate sound/pressure from a muzzle blast?

    Which muzzle device to mitigate muzzle blast that is not a can?

    for an AR (5.56/.223)

    Not concerned with muzzle flash or recoil.

    Just want to lessen noise and pressure.

    for a 16" barrel/middy

    If you lessen noise, according to BATFE, it's a silencer.

    I believe the purpose of the Novekse KX3 is to redirect the blast forward of the shooter. That may help, but it's pretty hefty.

    Right, but you can redirect the noise so it isn't as loud at the shooter's ear. An A2 is generally "quieter" for most people than a Surefire muzzle brake, for example, but none of us would call the A2 a silencer.

    OP, check out the Noveske KX3 or the Levang Linear Compensator. The KX3 will increase backpressure a bit, though (I think?).

    The design of the KX3 is essentially a single baffle suppressor, but it isn't considered one by the ATF. The KX5 is either about to come out or just came out, which is a smaller version of the KX3. Might be worth looking in to as it does exactly what you're looking for.

    What about this device? It is pretty interesting. It has a concussion reduction feature.

    Kaw Valley Linear Comp. Works very well. Directs the muzzle blast away from the shooter.

    If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

    The last thing I want to do is hurt you,
    but it's still on my list.
