I've stumbled across a few different models but these caught my eye. They don't look like they would pass a pinky test but then again that's not an official standard and I hopefully won't have anyone question it. Do you think it would be safer to go with the fluted model over the smooth side?

They advertise as not a flash hider, what do you think

The smooth one says it's a FH while the fluted one says it's a comp. Fluted one also says it won't make 16" on a 14.5" barrel. I like the way they look though. Whenever I get around to my next upper build I would like a comp that looks like a A2 FH.

It says "this style of flash hider" then at the bottom it says not a flash hider I'm the actual description. I think they just copied and pasted that flash hider part. I was thinking the Grooved one was less a2 styled

 

Both are the extended version that I linked

Other than saving a tiny bit of weight is there any benefit to the Titanium?

Strictly as a muzzle brake? No probably not. It will anodize it's self as you shoot so that will look pretty neat. The heat expansion on titanium from my understanding is much more actually effective on pieces like the gas block(which I'm also using )

Cool, thanks.

They are flash hiders

I ordered one. My other ar is on vacation from where I'm building this so no one can bitch about constrictive intent. If I don't like it or think it will be an "evil" feature I'll send it back. There's one more ti brake on the market that's most definitely not a flash hider in any sense
