KAC Triple Tap Price -- Have they lost thier minds?

[Greebe]

So I was looking at various muzzle devices and saw the KAC Triple Tap and was blown away by the price for it. $437 WOW

For not a lot more than that you could get a suppressor including the tax stamp!

How long would a block of gold last at the end of a barrel?

Well if they don't sell the market has the abillity to adjust the price.

The high price tag is because the Triple Tap is made out of Iconel and serves as the mount/blast baffle for the Knight's NT Suppressor.

If you just need a muzzle device that eliminates flash as effectively as the A2 flashhider, reduces recoil/muzzle flip by around 40%, doesn't create additional blast for the shooter or other nearby shooters, and is about the same size as the A2 birdcage, then there are some hybrid muzzle brakes that are competitive in those roles for about $150; but even there the field is fairly narrow.

No flash + good muzzle brake + not obnoxious for others nearby is a test that not many muzzle devices can pass. And let's face it, Knight's doesn't market to the "best value" crowd.

You know they sold out of all of their first two runs immediately and people were paying much higher than list on gunbroker...

I bought two (at list). One from each batch. Great brake.

You might want to see this video of the huge flash coming off one of the Triple Taps.

Yes, you're going to get some flash off of an 11.5" barrel with a hybrid comp/flash hider/suppressor mount - especially in low light. Heck, I had an 11.5" with a 5" flashhider and it still generated some major flash.
