    Any of these should do what you want.
    These are the devices you want to be looking at, however NONE of them reduce sound signature at all, they simply redirect it.

    I can't emphasize enough what ASH556 said, if it reduces sound (even by accidental byproduct of the design), it is a SUPPRESSOR and is subject to all applicable federal and state laws.

    I have this flash hider on my 16 inch mid length. It redirects the sound but does not lessen it. kwg

    If you really want to direct the blast away from the shooter the best muzzle device is no muzzle device. I base that on my experiences with big bore rifles burning anywhere from 70 to 100 grains of smokeless powder. The adjacent ARs sound louder to me than my rifle but folks from the adjacent range which is well in front of my firing line but on the other side of a safety berm, these folks often come over to see what is making all the commotion.

    Year before last I had an interesting pair of rifles beside me all day long in a rifle class. On one side was a 14.5" with a Surefire muzzle brake and on the other was a 7.5" piston gun. Thought I was going to be hammered from both sides with noise/blast. The 7.5" had a KX3 on it and not once all day did I even notice blast from that little monster.

    I find the Vortex significantly quieter than the standard bird cage. There may be others but I use the Vortex on short barrels for that reason. It is not a brake and doesn't reduce muzzle flip as do the noises types but it's quieter.
