    I have a PWS on order. I'm just going to wear ear plugs when I shoot it.

    It's not really about reducing the "recoil" as the .223/5.56 doesn't really have much to begin with. Muzzle devices such as the BattleComp and the PWS are designed to control muzzle rise in-order to keep your sights or dot on-target for quicker follow-up shots.

    I would also hold-off for the soon to be released BattleComp 1.5 which is specifically designed to be pinned/welded on 14.5" barrels to make them NFA compliant.

    From the shooter's position, I have no problem shooting it with regular old peltor muffs. People in the surrounding areas are more bothered by it.

    I'm starting to like the thing.

    Exactly, the guy with the PWS had no idea how loud his rifle was until people started commenting on it.

    Same expeerience; liked shooting the fsc556 until I was standing next to it. Took the plunge and bought the BC. Now muzzle stays down and blast much reduced. I feel accuracy is better than with FSC, but could be a result of barrel break-in and familiarity.
