As the new owner of an AR pistol (kit) one thing that stands out in reviews of AR pistols is the loudness to the shooter and bystanders. A "linear compensator " type muzzle break was suggested at some point. But I only find 4 results on on a search of the phrase here on THR. I'd never heard of them until now. Are these so new that few have them who can speak to the effectiveness of directing blast forward and away from the shooter and bystanders maybe?
For the price point I see in a search of models ($40 up to maybe $100), and given the simplicity of design, perhaps they would be a good investment in hearing protection. I'd still use ears at the range, but the idea has me curious.
I wonder though if turbulence behind the projectile from the concentrated and forward-directed blast wave would negatively impact accuracy? Shares of experience and thoughts appreciated. Don.
