I hate the PINNNNNNNNNG tuning fork sound that the Vortex and AAC Blackout flash hiders have. No denying that they effectively eliminate flash though
I prefer the Phantom or A2 for that reason |

The Vortex is one of if not the best for flash.
I have a Vortex on a 14.5 LMT upper. (pinned & welded) |

never liked the look of the vortex but they work fairly well. The phantom style looks nicer and should work just as well...i cant tell the difference personally but there is a test somewhere where they photographed the flash from each....

I just got a flaming pig. Kind of excited to see how that one works out.

I've stuck with Phantoms, just for giggles.
They look rather subdued (as opposed to something like the Troy medieval compensator) and reduce flash more than I'll ever need. - BG |

I've never been bothered, or really even heard too much ringing from my Vortex.
Between the muzzle blast, supersonic crack, and buffer spring sproiiiing, the AR isn't exactly quiet anyway. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |
