Perfect thread for a newb like myself. I have been debating replacing my A2 for the Griffin Armament M4-SD Tactical Compensator. Thought it would help me stay on target better. Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Agreed that this s a good discussion for newbs. Not a newb to guns or AR's from my Army time, but new in the realm of AR ownership. 3 gun is something I'd like to do more often and am considering THIS on mine. Looking to mitigate muzzle rise on a 16" Lightweight build THREAD HERE. Any have first hand with it?
Excellent thread, thank you OP!
Good thread about flash hiders. I personally like Phantom over A2, but the original design is pretty good and simple. No real reason to change out unless you absolutely have problem with flash signature.
Instruction, technique, training, and (meaningful) practice will trump mechanical solutions every time for a new shooter.
This applies to triggers, brakes, etc. About the only mechanical device that has been shown to improve the ability to get hits across the spectrum of ability is optics: red-dots for near-to-medium range, magnified for medium-to-long range.
Some people start out with a new endeavor, encounter challenges, and attempt to circumvent the challenges with cash. Others acknowledge the challenge, understand that the solution is software not hardware, and understand that resolving the software problem is something no amount of cash can buy.
The main official can has been the KAC M4 QD (the latest version of which is the QDSS NT-4).
Certain units have contracts and large numbers of AAC and SF cans as well. Some Halos have definitely been in service.
There is finally some legitimate motion in the direction off getting better flash hiders and eventually suppressors for our guys in general.

A1 flash hider: All the style and function of the A2, with no need to index.
A chart or a sticky of some kind regarding this subject would be super. seems like every week a new flash hiding doodad is coming out. Some way to wade through the confusion would be super.
As someone in a ban state, I've found the FSC556 to be preferable to other brakes or even a crowned barrel for a couple of reasons. First, the FSC does a great job controlling the muzzle rise. I've shot AR's with an A2 and notice a significant difference. The trade-off is the FSC is marginally louder and gives off a more noticable concussion than the A2. Other brakes have proven to be much more obnoxious in this regard. Second, the FSC does a very good job limiting the flash compared to other brakes. I'd say there isn't much difference between the A2 and the FSC flash signatures. Finally, the FSC comes with the handy-dandy BATFE letter stating it is not a flash suppressing device. Behind enemy lines, the FSC556 seems to be the best alternative for those wanting a compliant muzzle device.
