    Looking to add a compensator to my DD M4 V1

    I know next to nothing about compensators other than they reduce muzzle rise, which is my goal.

    I would like one with a balance of muzzle rise reduction and flash suppression if such an animal exists.

    What do you folks recommend?

    What is your best aggregate time for a clean run on a 1/2 and 1/2 Drill?

    Have you had any formal instruction regarding your stance and grip - meaning recoil management techniques?

    How fast have you truly shot your AR accurately?

    For what you're looking for the Battle Comp series is a good place to start looking. It's flash reduction is around that of an A2 flash hider and its compensation properties are pretty impressive as well.

    I have not been to any classes other than the Marine Corps. And what they teach has nothing to do with this kind of shooting.

    I have been watching tons of videos and have done what I can to mimic what I am seeing there. I have noticed quite a difference while using the support hand with the thumb over the muzzle technique.

    I have not actually timed myself but have seen quite an improvement using the above technique.

    I live in Illinois and have not yet seen a class near here that I could attend. (This State isn't known for it's gun friendly politics. So I imagine not many instructors want to come here.)

    I agree, I have BC's on both my DD 14.5 middy and 16 BCM middy,
    They work very well.

    Not that Battlecomp doesn't make a good product, but your money may currently be better spent on 500 rounds of ammo and some drills to help you gauge your recoil control.

    I think this is sound advice..Run it hard, try a few different techniques, see what works with your particular body mechanics, and if you still feel you NEED a comp the BC line of comps are quite good.

    I do a lot of shooting. Most has been with pistols. I used to compete years ago in IPSC and PPC and a few IDPA matches.

    I have no problem putting in the time and the practice. I shoot on my own property anytime I like. I do realize proper technique is very important but I also realize equipment will give you an edge as well. I am not trying to supplement equipment for technique.

    As I said earlier the only opportunity for instruction I have is videos. I have picked up Magpul Dynamics Art of The Carbine and have been running drills off of those videos.

    My old Pact timer bit it so I am going to pick up another one soon. I will then be able to actually time myself.
