    Muzzle device to fit my needs?

    Im in the process of doing some upgrades to my 11.5" BCM. This rifle is my HD weapon, but also rides along with me in the car every day, and follows me in the office every day. When I take family trips, its in the SUV.
    My question is, what would be a couple good choices for a muzzle device for my weapon? I want good flash control, good recoil control, and good sound control. Id like to keep it as short as possible also. Is there anything like that out there? If so, whats the options?
    Im not rich, so nothing too expensive please, lets say a $150 spending cap.
    Thanks folks,
    Brandon

    You just described a Battle Comp word for word.

    You should do a search on them. I don't have one but I've read good things.

    I would also take a look at the PWS Triad. I am using two now. They do nothing for recoil but do control muzzle rise, seem to control flash, and don't increase noise/blast over an A2 flash hider. A discussion thread with my review is here:

    A video from PWS showing off its performance on a shorty is here:

    Nothing against the Battlecomp which is also a good device. They have different effects and goals, and I would consider both.

    I say save your money and keep your A2 that's on there now... but thats not too exciting.

    I had a BC on my 11.5, and although it worked as advertised, I went back to the A2. The BC was pretty annoying on the SBR, to me anyway.

    Thats another solid option too. If I get no considerable increases in the three criteria, I will stay with the A2.

    I've used the Battlecomp on two 14.5 barrels and a 16. On the longer barrels it does everything you want it to, but it is louder than an A2. I would try it out on an 11" barrel before spending the cash. In my opinion SBRs are already louder, and any kind of comp is probably going to make it worse.

    Standing next to my 16"with battle comp 2.0 is akin to getting slapped in the face. It works well, but the increased sound level and blast out weigh it's potential benefits for me (ymmv). Triad is just like standing next to an a2, but the triad reduces muzzle rise. The battle comp is a cool game gun set up, but it would not be my first choice for a primary defensive rifle.

    I know the PERFECT device.... A2 Flash hider.

    I run them on both my 11.5s.... and any gun that doesn't need a silencer mount.

    Agree. Hell, even one of my silencer mounts is an A2 cage with external threads.

    Beyond that some of the linear comps and blast-forward devices DO decrease perceived blast at the shooter and to the sides IME based on my mk1mod0 earball. I hope to have definitive numbers to go with that at some point.
