If you have a 14.5" barrel and need a longer FH to get you up to the legal limit of 16" is a good reason.

Length is the most common reason on 14.5" Carbines.
Otherwise, muzzle brake function, supressor modularity, or just looks are all reasons to swap it. |

For what it's intended to do, the Smith Vortex simply works much better. I only shoot at dusk or night time a couple of times a year, but the lower flash really does help my eyes recover faster. I can only imagine it would be even more important in my house when I really need it.

i ran a phantom on a 7.5in upper im sure the guys beside me at the carbine course appreciated that i did.
On longer barrels they help with flash hiding at dusk/dark. They are sexier than the a2 |

Main reason for me is a 14.5" bbl. Plus 5C2's are cool

There are better flash hiders out there.
It's more of a compensator than a flash hider anyways. |

My Phantom 5C1's do a better job of flash hiding than the A2 ZM |

I always thought the A1 birdcage created the coolest flash. That doesn't mean I'm going to use it on my rifles. I wouldn't even see it, unless someone else was shooting it. |
