    I forgot about this thing. You should be able to flick it with your finger and get an idea of the Pingification factor.

    Put a Triad on my 16" middy and got 150 rounds through it this weekend, replacing an A2. Comes with the shims needed for timing, no peel or crush washers needed. My initial impression was of very good recoil control compared to the A2. Minimal reticle jump, and what there was went straight up, no sideways movement.

    I can't yet comment anything useful on flash supression - there was no flash visible to the shooter with Federal XM193 in daytime on a bright sunny day.

    I don't have a lot experience with different brakes to compare too, I'm afraid. Mostly A2, and a radial/Levang style from a now defunct company. The Triad worked much better than either of them. I would like to compare it to the FSC, but mine is an FSC30 on a 308 AR, which doesn't, somehow, seem like a fair comparison.

    I liked it much more than I expected - when I opened the box I wondered how it was going to control recoil at all. It did, through some exploitation of physics that I don't understand. I'd buy another.

    From the 6" drop test, as suspected the PWS Triad has a higher pitch, but quieter ping than the PIIIIIIIIIING of the AAC Blackout anvil strike.

    Kind of like an 8" splash cymbal compared to a 18" heavy crash cymbal. The more metal, the longer the sustain.

    PWS knows what they're doing with regard to muzzle control so I suspect this will be a winner.

    Actually, it looks like that's exactly how it mitigates muzzle climb.

    I wonder if it needs to be timed differently for shooting off the left shoulder?

    Their instructions say to time it by putting the PWS logo in the 12o'clock position. That's a standard method they do with their FH's and comps.

    Is the top cut longer than the bottom? I'm pretty interested in a new FH or Comp for my new build, i'd love to get a battlecomp but thats just out of my budget right now so at $60 this may be the winner so far.

    Yes, the top slot (really about 1 o'clock) is slightly deeper than the other two. I have one of these waiting to try out but just haven't gotten to it yet.
