    I have found that I don't really care for comps/brakes that reduce recoil.

    I run a Battlecomp and love that there is zero muzzle rise even though the recoil is unchanged.

    Outside of some precision applications I'm not entirely sure why you would be concerned with recoil on a 5.56.

    Honestly, the whole recoil vs muzzle rise thing is something I just don’t feel like going into. Anywhere I say recoil, I just mean the dot has more movement. So probably muzzle rise vs true recoil, but I assumed most people knew what I meant.

    So you admit to not knowing what you don't know, starting this thread to recommend your choice rather than debate the merits, and dismiss anyone with actual experience of the negatives of comps.

    No wonder the number of SME's contributing here has diminished so much.

    To anyone else:
    Stick to a flash hider until you can both quantify the advantages of a comp, and have experience to judge the negatives.

    Get a basic but quality setup, then chase training and not equipment to improve your skills.

    Not as much as a brake, though.

    Holy ****, some of you suck at reading comprehension. I feel like I've said this in every other post but the whole point of this thread is to see if there are legit arguments against the following statement:

    Most people rarely shoot at night or in confined spaces with other people, therefore, a device other than a flash hider is worth the consideration.


    Your own point of "chasing training" is exactly the problem. The extra $80 they could've spent on a more well-rounded MD isn't going to do next to nothing for training. That's like half the cost of a basic one day course.

    Change my mind: a hybrid comp is the best general purpose muzzle device

    Most of us “optimize” our carbines for a potential defensive situation, despite training mostly during the day.

    It’s a type 1 vs type 2 error.

    Why do we shoot? Why do we train?

    To look good on the gram? To look good in class? To win competitions?

    Do we want our carbines set up to be good for training? Or good for fighting?

    Well then I guess if the muzzle flash from a BCM comp blinds me and I get kilt in da streetz you can say that you told me so.

    You know I didn’t say or imply that. But in your vein I guess I could say, when the recoil of the mighty 5.56 destroys my shoulder and I can’t get rounds off quickly enough to win the fight and I’m kilt in da streetz I’ll wish I had the comp that sucked at flash control and sucked at compensation. Only then would I have survived.

    I've went through all 17 pages of this thread and I still don't understand the point of it. If you can't make the executive decision to find the balance of flash and blast vs muzzle control then you probably should just stick with an A2 and focus on putting more rounds through your gun until you can get to the point where mechanical advantage would be decernable to you.
