Battle Comp Enterprises sent us one of their new muzzle devices last year, and it immediately went into long term Test and Evaluation (T&E) status from MIL and LE guys. If you are looking for the condensed version, or are too lazy to read the rest of the review, you can rest easy because this is the best muzzle device that I've used that is affordable. Not only did I think so, but so did almost every other person who had a chance to get trigger time with this. The sole dissenting voice was early on, and last month he bought his own Battle Comp after spending more time with it.

Muzzle Brakes up to this point have tended to be obnoxious with side blast and the impressive level of flame they produce. Obviously the reduction of felt recoil and muzzle jump is of interest to shooters, because quicker rounds on target mean we win in a gun fight. However, the dramatic blast and flame kind of kills any real world application. Shooting outside is bad enough with most muzzle brakes, but inside or under and overhang, it can be flat out painful.
Battle Comp deals with these issues by using small vents on the sides and front to channel and dissipate blast and flame. Muzzle blast is close to that of an A2 FS like the ones found on most M4 and M16s, and flash suppression is roughly the same as well. Where the Battle Comp puts a smile on everyone's face is in how it negates muzzle rise. Shooting in full auto, or with multiple quick rounds, the weapon gives a very smooth linear push to the rear instead of pushing the muzzle up. Several shooters commented that the weapon actually had a slight downward push to it, which is almost freakish in how well it does in controlling real world muzzle rise.
Gone are the days of compensators and muzzle brakes being for just the 3 gun crowd and gamers. With the Battle Comp running right around $150, it is more money than some other muzzle devices, but it does more than any other muzzle brake or compensator that is even close to the same price, so it is still well worth it my mind. Its also why I've placed an order for a few more.
Battle Comp has the standard model, which is the 1.0, the 1.5 which is 1.5" long, and the 2.0 which is a suppressor compatible version (and is not 2" long). A review like this is hard to describe in words sometimes, thankfully Battle Comp has these videos which do a pretty good job showing how well the product works.
