    I'm surprised by the large amount of muzzle flash. It is a genuine moderator, correct?

    That would be the correct word, because even though ATF classifies it as a suppressor, it doesn't do much. I don't completely understand why, but it seems like my Colt 6933 (11.5" barrel) with standard birdcage tames flash much more effectively than the XM177s. They seem to have mostly managed to get muzzle blast down to around M-16 levels more or less.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    I believe so, see post # 18

    I’ve read that they can clog and get fouled up fairly rapidly, decreasing their efficiency

    Yes, I've read that too. I wonder if there is a way to clean it by soaking it in some sort of solvent? I don't think you can take them apart.

    Wow. That is next level civilized conduct. No wonder you guys are allowed to sling SIGs in the grocery store.

    If you put that sign anywhere in the US, including Congress, jackasses would put their feet on the wall just to demonstrate "You're not the boss of me."

    Yes. That would be my first thought.
    A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.

    Sometimes Europeans are better than us, or they used to be. First time I was in Germany I went to throw something away in a outdoor garbage can and it looked like the garbage was "organized." I didn't know how to throw my McDonalds cup away correctly without screwing up their system.

    Switzerland seems to be the exception when firearms are referenced .
