Re: Muzzle brake / flash hider AR 15 advice
Apologies, merely expressing opinions / advise - not sure why there always are attacks different views.
Never said suppressed rifles were quiet, however their intent is to be more covert i.e. suppress sound (even if its just at the muzzle for supersonic rounds) and to suppress muzzle flash.
My view (subjective) is that in a home defense situation you do not want to be covert. I am not referring to running and gunning like Rambo, however when confronted with a lethal threat and you engage the threat that the action will be loud. This will alert your neighbors for assistance and possible for the remaining threats to bugger off. The main idea to stop an attack and discourages potential threats with their intended plans.
My view / experience (again subjective) with suppressor is that as it takes away firstly the benefits if an SBR making the rifle bulky again and also increase the gasses in the action (my rifle does not have adjustable gasblock)

Re: Muzzle brake / flash hider AR 15 advice
I have a regular flash hider on my (Heavy barreled) AR. I recently fired two different AR's belonging to other guys in my squad ad they have comps. Not even big comps, small diameter / not thicker than a regular flash hider stuff. It makes a HUGE diffrence.

Re: Muzzle brake / flash hider AR 15 advice
I have a proper 5 port Muzzle brake on my Long range competition rifle. You only hate them until you can follow hits and misses on gongs that a suppressor could not do. Also the almost zero heat deflection (mirage) from the MB is great.
Like I said in the beginning I have a suppressor. I want a MB or flash hider that make the life of my training partners beter and mine every now and then.
Thank you for the constructive inputs. I will follow the leads.
I still think a standard birdcage Flash hider is what I need.

Re: Muzzle brake / flash hider AR 15 advice
I double dare you to fire a AR indoors in corridor...
without ear protection.
I run my AR with a suppressor permanently on ( adds 150mm ), its a pleasure to shoot now regards sound.
And yes you can fire it indoors without ear protection and still have good situational awareness with hearing intact
