    In all seriousness I say save your money. Comps are most effective when shooting at speed. You are limited to 10rd mags which really limits your ability to shoot fast. Im gonna assume the bulk I'd your shooting is done from the bench blasting paper, so its doubtful you would notice enough difference to make it worth your money.

    There's plenty of places in Ca where you can go to practice drills. Either paid for or on your own.

    You can also go out of state and legally use high cap mags and a regular mag release at a good class.

    Don't let those things limit you. Figure out what you want and get it. The battlecomp is a good device. As are many others. And nothing wrong with the A2. It's all in what you want and intend to do with the rifle.

    If you're seriously just gonna put 100 rounds a year down a paper range, then save your money.

    I'd say that by choosing a middy you've done one of the best things you can do.

    The BattleComp is a solid choice though. I also live in Kalifornia, and I have a KAC triple tap on one rifle and a BattleComp on another....the BattleComp is every bit as good.

    Most of my shooting is done on BLM land out in the foothills. The likelihood of me making it out of state to shoot or even to take a real carbine course is not very high at this time due to financial obligations.

    I do plan on putting at least a thousand rounds down range a month (when possible). I am hoping to become efficient with my rifle and not just use it as something to take out of the safe and show off from time to time.

    My ultimate goal is to soak in as much as I can while at home via training videos and articles and then put it to the test when I get to the "range". I don't want to be unable to manipulate my rifle in the case that I do Need it to defend my life.

    Anyhow I think I am getting off topic of my own thread. Just thought a little background on what I am wanting to accomplish, as well as my learning intentions and such might help people lend advice.

    Just doing some searches here after posting has already stripped the 2.0 from my wish list and replaced it with the 1.0 if I do go with a BC. However, I have also learned that I might want to forgo the muzzle device until I put some serious time in with the rifle and get a feel for it without one.

    Thank you for taking the time to reply though, I know it can be a little aggravating helping out us new AR owners and I just wanted you all to know I do appreciate all the help.

    Bingo. You're miles ahead of most with that attitude.

    Take a look at Spike's Dynacomp. I have one pinned on my 14.5" Afghan barrel and I like it. As far as I understand it, it is virtually on par with the BC, but nearly half the price.

    I agree with getting to know the A2 very very well before trying anything else. Not to say that if you like the A2 you should drop the idea of a muzzle device, but you will at least have a solid basis for comparison in the future if you do get another one later.
