Re: What is the Best .223 Flash Hider
A suppressor. All the rest, in .223, are essentially mental masturbation, not much better than unit that came with your rifle and a complete waste of $$$. IMO, the only exception is made for folks that want to quiet things down for themselves and those around them. In that case, this works very well. Back pressure increases.

I got a buddy whose friend's brother had a kid whose nephew bought one of these online and he hasn't been seen since...cool.

Re: What is the Best .223 Flash Hider
you all suck, I can't own a can... So for me VORTEX. but with .223 A2 will be fine as well. I'd try and find a good Comp because nothing makes friends at the range like overpressure

Re: What is the Best .223 Flash Hider
Based upon my research, a Battlecomp will likely be my next combo comp/flash hider. Not sure they are the very best flash hider, but what they offer on reducing recoil combined with blast reduction has me sold. See their website here...

Best of luck...

I went with the blackout. The video below helped in my choice, but I also plan on running an AAC can in the future too. so....

my blackout has the ring to it too. the harmonics are a little crazy on it. it will ring when i run the charging handle. when i fired it at the range, people thought there ears were ringing even though they had ear protection on because of noise from the blackout flash hider.

Surefire makes a good brake! I run them on a LMT rifle and my Noveske 14.5"

Great brake, but holy crap.. my friend's Surefire brake makes us move away when he's shooting it. I've shot his rifle and it works very good.
Haven't shot the battlecomp, but I hear good things about it.
Currently I'm using the KAC triple tap and it works very good as well. Not as great as the surefire which is a true brake, but mine at least doesn't have as bad of a blast compared to a true brake. I like it.. but the cost is expensive which makes it hard to justify having it unless you have spare cash.

Re: What is the Best .223 Flash Hider
I've never had luck with expensive muzzle devices and I can't get a sound suppressor here in cali so I usually go with the 20buck YHM28 flash hiders, or just a standard A2.

The Blackout, B.E. Meyers, and Surefire are the best available non suppressed form of flash hiders. The Blackout is the most cost effective. A can is great when you need a can, and is an ideal flash suppression device, but has its own drawbacks as well.

Re: What is the Best .223 Flash Hider
The Blackout gets my vote with the Vortex following close behind. Both are cheap to buy and you can't really go wrong with either.
You didn't mention what barrel length you were using this with. This makes a difference when choosing the hider too especially if stretching that 14.5" into a non-sbr.

Re: What is the Best .223 Flash Hider
I have the aac blackout... I have fired it at night quite a bit, and the muzzle flash is nearly completely gone. It does ring like a tuning fork. I can even hear it through my earmuffs after every shot.. 16 inch barrel, 5.56

Re: What is the Best .223 Flash Hider
UPVOTE for the AAC Blackout. Minimal muzzle rise and flash.
