For muzzle devices, what you are using? Brake or flash hider?

Flash hider. I made the mistake of buying a brake for one gun and quickly replaced it with a flash hider. Brakes send too much noise and blast back toward the shooter if you ever shoot without the can attached. To me, the slight reduction in recoil isn't worth the extra noise.
So no difference Between the two if the can stays mounted?
Brakes are designed differently. My Area 419 sends zero blast towards me. Yes they are loud but a good brake will take recoil to almost nothing and send nothing toward you. To say it had a slight reduction in recoil and you had the blast directed in your face tells me you shot a shitty brake.
There may be a difference in how well it works with the can attached, at least I read that. Depending on how the can is designed, the brake style might make the can slightly quieter. The difference is too small for me to discern with the one I have. On the chance I ever shoot the gun without the can, it isn't worth the difference. I'm already working with ears that have had a lifetime of abuse and I don't need anything that makes it louder.
After a lot of research, I believe my next can will be a silencerco omega 300.
Order it soon, I'm at 8 months, called today and still pending even tho they say it's a 7 month wait now . . . .
Form 4 here of course
You will like it. It is not as quiet as the harvester but it is nice. Subsonic 300 AAC - super quiet
Supersonic 308 from 20" barrel - sounds like a 22 LR
7 mag - you could bust off a 3 round group from a table, but I would not do much more than that without ear protection
I have the Thunder Beast Arms Ultra 9 (6.5) and love it! It's really quiet and I can shoot all day without hearing protection. My 4 year old shoots it with subsonic ammo and laughs when he shoots bc he can hear it "hit stuff". It basically sounds like a muffled down .22 with a regular bullet and its hard to describe how quiet it is with a subsonic round. When hunting, I shoot a Nosler Accubond and there's no doubt when you hit a deer (you can hear the thud easily).
