Thanks for the article. Please address the issue of noise with an AR15 suppressor since subsonic ammunition is unreliable in an AR-15 and AR-15 ammunition is typically 3,000 fps. Thx

“For those who don’t want to or can’t own a true suppressor, there are other options. The Barking Spider II muzzle brake from Spikes Tactical can be purchased online and it effectively reduces flash while redirecting much of the noise away from the shooter toward the target.”

I’ve tried the Barking Spider II for sound redirection, it was kinda so-so. The Strike Industries Oppressor does a better job with the sound, it does weigh about 2 ounces more than the Barking Spider though and only works with one of their muzzle devices which is uses to mount. The Strike Industries J-Comp Gen2 and the Oppressor combo does a better job for both muzzle brake and sound redirection.

I agree. It’s the best HD option. I also have a dedicated HD handgun ready with a light. I keep both out of sight. I can get to the handgun a few seconds quicker than the AR.

Exactly… thanks Paul.

My home defense rifles are AR’s with 77 gr OTM.
