Practicality of the Battlecomp and similar muzzle devices on a defensive carbine.

That;s because most that talk about it have never been in a life or death situation, so have no idea what's important. Not their fault though, it's something you have to experience.

I guess. It's like worrying about wear on your brake system if you brake hard to avoid a serious collision.

I try to suggest the book ON COMBAT by Grossman when that nonsense comes up. But it's a never ending subject.

I know what you mean. The same thing goes for the guys that worry about all the BS gear minutia but can't hit the side of a barn from the inside. Worry less about the gear and more about how to use it effectively.
I read the book and the reason I chose the quote in my signature. I find it to be very true.

When I read that part of the book. I thought about the Gun forums in general. The threads that start out.... "How does this rail LOOK on this barrel?" Or "Does this stock color match these hand guards?"

Are you kidding me?

LOLOLOL!!!! LMAO!!!!! yeah!!!! I know the type.
I get a crack at the ones that worry about how many oz they can shed of their rifle when they only hold it for 3 or 4 hours a night if that. You would think they were holding and operating with that stick for 12 hours a day, or humping with it over miles of terrain with a 100lbs pack on their back plus tac gear.

And that's in front of the TV watching Dancing with the Stars or something.

Hey! I resemble those remarks!

This notion is LOST on so many peoples' minds. It blows my mind what people are worried about in a life and death scenario.

I fired my 11.5 with an A2 flash hider without ears at the range once. I thought my shit kaboomed. But it a fight, if I hear it at all, it's going to be the sweetest sound ever.

In a HD situation if you have to to get to your rifle, you should have time to throw on a pair of e-muffs.

This cowboy attitude is just lack of discipline and training. We have tools now that our fathers generation didn't, so use them. No excuses.

Resposible use of these tools should be encouraged here.

You certainly do not know that...these situations can be matters of seconds, or fractions of seconds...but then again, I've never had to use a firearm in a life and death situation...have you? I'm really hoping that post was sarcasm.
