Split seconds could potentially make a big difference in a gun fight, and I don't know about you, but I am going to get every advantage I can when my life or more importantly my brothers lives are on the line.
    This being said, which is more tactically advantageous??? A muzzle brake/comp or a flash suppressor? More specifically a Home Defense situation.

    My Noveske Recon came with a Vltor Comp which I replaced with a AAC Blackout. The Vltor blasted the pressure right back into my face, the AAC doesn't. Recoil is the same.
    My LMT came with a SD A2 Flash hider which is alright. Still need to fire both rifles at night and see how the Flash-hiders work.

    First you might want to go back and re-read Dapimpspimp's post. It's all what your looking for and what your comfortable with. Personally I think the advantages of a break far outweigh the negatives especially in an home defense situation. So for me that is what I would use for an AR in HD. But even better would be a shotgun or a handgun.

    Smith Enterprise Vortex. The SE Vortex generally increases accuracy and eliminates flash, while staying mounted on the weapon with minimal barrel stress inducing torque due to patented 15 degree helixed tines. It also mounts a blank firing adapter which lends it to military training.

    We're putting out a new silencer soon with one, because I'd love to make a cheaper muzzle brake to mount the can to, but muzzle brakes cause a lot of flash and noise, so they are better for users who never want to take the silencer off the weapon, or who will only for storage.

    Civilians might even prefer a muzzle brake, the military probably won't.

    Did go back and read it. Point taken. I do agree that the rewards probably outweigh the risks. I do disagree about the AR/shottie/handgun thing, though. I would grab the .40 and run to the M&P 15. I have confidence in hitting the target ~7yds (HD situation)
    How is the Miculek brake?

    I too am more confident on my rifle than anything else. But in a home defense situation, over penetration is a big factor to consider. Also maneuverability. Personally I choose my M&P 45/SF X300 with some Hornady TAP. I am confident at the ranges that I would encounter inside my house with that, and even outside. Shotguns are great obviously because you shouldn't miss even under stress. Overall your right, it comes down to what your most comfortable with.
