Looking to replace the ak74 style brake on my sam7sf. It works awesome for cutting down recoil but even during the day under direct sunlight I can see a large fireball. I would like something that helps recoil and flash if possible. What do you guys recommend?

What you're seeing is typical of the 74 brake; unfortunately, most combo devices don't do both things well.

Here is a comparison:

I run a manticore night brake which does a good job as a muzzle brake and is a better flash hider than the 74 brake:

Manticore also makes a 3-prong flash hider, which works well as a flash hider:

Definitive Arms makes a combo device, the Fighter Brake:

As far as other devices, Surefire and Krebs Custom both make good flash hiders:

If you just want to browse available 24x1.5LH muzzle devices, these two sites have a large selection:

DA 24mm Fighter Brake aka The Angry Trash Can is definitely the way to go.
