Not trying to rile anybody up. As an amateur there’s just a lot that’s legally unclear.

This is the exact case. I wouldn't say it's necessary or my first choice of muzzle device if I use one at all. But it's an AR9 build for QCB home defense and the company I'm looking to order from (brigadefirearms.com) only ships them with mini-cans. I can't find a wealth of information, but from what I can tell it does seem to be a good choice for the purpose of my build as long as it isn't going to give me a huge legal headache.

Thank you. That makes sense and good info. Your build is basically similar to what I'm looking to do. Although damn yours looks a lot nicer than I think mine will.

Thanks for the reply. Just to be sure, you're saying specifically legal in NJ? Just asking because your location says AZ.

Hello, My basic question is whether a flash can, or specifically mini-flash can, is a legal NJ muzzle device. Like these https://www.kakindustry.com/kak-industry-flash-can I have tried to research, ask "experts", FFLs, and the like and can't get a definite answer. I am trying to do a build and the company that makes the uppers only ships them with mini cans. I know I could swap it out. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to. Everything I read says that the devices concentrate and direct the flash forward with nothing about hiding or minimizing the flash. It seems like that wouldn't qualify as a flash hider, but I don't really know. I can see on one side that they aren't a brake or comp so aren't in that category of approved. However, they don't suppress or hide flash so I don't know what would make them a problem. Hoping it's not just a problem in that they look vaguely similar to a suppressor or have "flash" in their name. If someone has any experience with a definite answer or legislation somewhere please let me know.
