No. If you want a comp, buy a good comp. I've got a friend of mine who spent the better part of a match pissed off at his Izzy brake. He wanted something that "looked" a little better than the Mini-Y and wasn't as loud. He learned the old maxim "Pretty is as pretty does" the hard way.

Okay, lets invert the question. Is there a good compensator that also (significantly) reduces muzzle flash?

No, the Vortex is designed to function purely as a flash eliminator, not as a muzzle brake.

False. The closed-bottom Phantoms have nearly no compensation capability; the bottom is closed only to reduce the dust signature when shooting from the prone. The only correct answer was given by Stryfe above. -Troy |

The Cav Comp works very well as a comp.
Vortex, Phantom and GI 3-prong are great at getting rid of flash, but no compensation. The A2 does a bit of both, not perfect at either. Brakes? On an AR-15? AR's don't need brakes. All brakes are good for is pissing off your neighbors on the line. And AR's don't have much muzzle flip. So, it is mainly a matter of figuring out what your priorities are. That being said, my daytime stuff has A2's, my nighttime stuff has 3-prongs. |

Remember those old Fabian Brothers comps/flashiders. They looked like a long A2 with a chamber behind the flashhider with a bunch of holes in the top.

You could not be more wrong. Evidently you've never done any competitive shooting. You should check out an IPSC 3-gun match, or a tactical match. When you're running that AR "at speed", an effective muzzle brake makes the difference between being competitive and getting your ass handed to you. |

In testing, the sig under the Phantom and A2 was reduced over comparable open bottom models but the sig in front of the muzzle was the same or slightly greater. I do know that a closed bottom does make quite a bit of difference. I wish those pics would get back.
