    That is strange!!

    I took my 11.5 out one evening and shot XM193 through it with NO flash hider and got a football sized flash.

    With the A2 flash hider in the same experiment, I was getting a baseball sized flash.

    I run A2 flash hiders on both of my 11.5" SBRs with no flash problems.

    Actually... The silencer gives off more of a flash out the end cap than the blackout mount alone.

    Okay.

    He asked for favorite, not most effective.

    Fair enough! I guess my silencer would be my favorite too then.

    The A2 works well enough for my needs on both of mine. I've been interested in the Levang comp though.
    Only hits count......you can not miss fast enough to catch up

If you're going to mount a suppressor and need a suppressor-mount version of the Blackout, then the length of a flash hider doesn't matter much anyway.
    I'm curious how a Blackout is infinitely more effective. I own both and shoot them indoors.

    Does a YHM ring? No.

    Does one use a can all of the time? Not necessarily. YMMV.
