I don't think anyone in this thread disagrees about training being paramount. But I would also think the same logic would apply to complaining about other people trying to have a discussion about muzzle brakes. Shouldn't you be out training instead of adding noise here? It sounds like this thread is not relevant for you.

The series of tests done by The Truth About Guns, are very well known and respected. In fact, in the first test they did way back in 2014 the Recoil Eliminator didn't place first. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/556-muzzle-device-shootout/ I guess this information hasn't reached the rock you've been hiding under.

There are a number of breaks that have been shown to be more effective than the eliminator in controlled testing - SJC Titan, and PA M4-72. Newer designs like the Hypertap or Apollo Max should be even more effective.

Agree blast is definitely a matter of personal preference/tolerance. I don't mind my Hypertap at all, and I have it on a 16" barrel. It can get pretty blasty, especially indoors, but you get used to it after a few shots.

Thanks for the info! That's kind of surprising to hear that the Hypertap is more effective at reducing recoil than the Apollo Max, despite the latter being much larger profile. Testament to the Hypertap's design I guess.

Hmm that one looks very interesting. Not sure if it would be as effective as the popular 3 gun brakes (ports look relatively small) but the modular design is impressive.

Thanks. Looks like they don't sell their 3 gun brakes anymore unfortunately.

Hi folks, I'm curious if anyone has had side by side experience with the new crop of reportedly most effective 223 comps. I currently have a Hypertap and an original SJC Titan, and have been considering upgrading to a Titan Extreme or Apollo Max, but haven't yet found any info that compares the two. Of course, would be also happy to hear about any other brake you think should also be considered. Cheers.
