Muzzle Device for AR-15 Pistol (5.56)

[bigfutz]

I found quite a few comments sprinkled here and there, so I thought I would start a new thread. What non-NFA muzzle devices are we using on AR-15 pistols in 5.56?

I am a big fan of the KAK cans. I have a Micro like this and its pretty awesome.

I still have an A2 flash hider on mine but I want to get one of the KAK cans.

What do you want the the muzzle device to do? Flash suppressor? Recoil/rise mitigation?

Depends on length, but for short barrels I like these, too.

A lot like the KAK, but nicer quality and nicer look, imo. Affordable.

Some pics (test fitting and not clocked yet)

Just took a peek at the Midwest industries and I really like that. I really like how it looks. I wish they made a shorter one with the same style.

I have a shorter one on my 8.5" .300blk
and it works great. When I get a longer 9" rail it will mostly be hidden and I won't care about the flutes

yeah, I saw that one, that's why I mentioned "in the same style". I like the fluted look the longer one has. The shorter one looks like its pretty awesome as well, but I prefer the looks of either the slick side or the flutes.

Diverting blast away from the shooter. Sounds like most of those mentioned are designed to do just that. I don’t want to add too much length.

Anyone used the Barking Spider? If nothing else, it’s got an awesome name!

At $25 too. Much lower than I expected.

Yup, and they are very well machined and finished. I am very happy with it

I have the usual A2 can and they work great. I'm interested in those spikey looking ones but don't know how they compare.
