    Default AR pistol muzzle device...

    Alright guys, just got done my 10.5" AR pistol build. Shoots straight as an arrow, just a little silly to shoot. Right now I have the Rainier Arms RMC muzzle break on it. Works like its supposed to, recoil is alot nicer. My problem is, when i actually try to aim it, the giant fireball 10 inches from my face haha. Just wondering what every one else is running on their pistol. Should I go flash hider to quiet it down, or just man up and deal with the big boom....

    You could always pick up a flash hider with external threads and the run a shield on it. The flash hider will reduce flash and the shield will direct the blast forward. Not cheap for both together but neither is an AR.

    AAC also has a flash hider comp combo (brakeout) but I do not know how it would work with the shield. The prong type flash hiders are usually the most effective for flash reduction.

    Thanks for the input so far. The AAC and the Vortex are definitely on the list. I love the look of the kx3 hiding in a rail, but the weight, length, and cost make me look else where.

    Concussion and fireballs are a bit par for the course in the SBR/AR pistol territory.

    I just got rid of a 7.5" upper in 7.62x39mm. I had an A2 on it. The concussion was moderate - to obscene. The flash was relatively tolerable. I was considering something along the lines of the Troy Claymore.

    Although I could do without all the knurling and points. So probably something from Kies.



    These should direct the blast forward. You are still going to get fireballs.

    I have the PWS CQB on my SBR. It directs all the muzzle flash forward and it works great.

    I run a Troy claymore on a 7.5" barrel. No complaints about recoil too loud or fireballs too big from myself.
