Another Compensator Question

[J-Rob]

For strictly recoil reduction/ muzzle rise reduction for a Competition AR which compensator would you choose?

The Battle Comp 1.0

The PWS FSC556 or,

The PWS TTO.

Again, only for the purpose of reducing recoil impulse/ muzzle rise.

I'd be willing to look at more than just those 3. If you want it for a competition gun, see what competitors are using, not just something that may look cool.

Why just those three?

[steel1212]

The Titan. I didn't want to drink the coolaid until I tried one on a buddies rifle. That thing just freaking works!

[assaulter]

I also have a Titan. I started with a Miculek. To be quite honest, I can't tell a huge difference between the two. They are both great.

how about before this turns into another comp thread where all of us kick in the name of our favorite, lets hear why he specifies those 3...?

[J-Rob]

Thanks Ken.

They seem to get a lot of attention on other forums. I have a Titan also but I'm looking for something a little shorter.

If you want a short and effective comp check out the Nordics. http://www.cactustactical.com/osc/ar15-c-412_478.html

[ken hebert]

previous poster is right, the Nordic comps are pretty short and for their size, effective. (I have a corvette comp) Of what you mentioned, the FSC556 and the TTO look to be the same, just the FSC also has flash hider capabilities. I've got a FSC556 on a 16" mid length, and it does have some recoil abatement properties, but not nearly what a "real" comp does. I have no experience with a Battle comp, but in my opinion it will probably fall just ahead of a FSC or a TTO in effectiveness in recoil management, but well behind one of the name brand and well loved comps you will find mentioned repeatedly here on this sub forum.

I have a TTO and it works quite well especially considering its a little shorter than an A2. I put one on a 10.5 inch and its not much worse than an a2 noise wise. The only difference between the TTO and 556 is the TTO has no flash hider.

[J-Rob]

Thanks EkuJustice, I'm going to give the PWS TTO a try.

I have vortex, FSC556 and SJC Titan

Best break but loud is SJC Titan. FSC556 has slight break capabilities. Vortex is purely flash suppressor. Different applications i would say.

Subjective for me. The best is to borrow rifles with different breaks and see/feel them for yourself. I look for those that have ports on the side and on the top. Can't go wrong with SJC Titan though. Havent tried anything yet that have it's break capabilities.
