My Ruger MPR 556 came with a muzzle brake and I really like it. Definitely softens the recoil.

I run a muzzle brake on all my MSR’s now after getting the Saint victor with one. I like the recoil as well as wild game doesn't shoot back, so why do a flash hider

My paw-in-law has a Ruger 18” AR with their brake and I will say as obnoxious as it is, actually it is them most obnoxious brake I have been around with electronic muffs and foam plugs shooting outdoors it is more noticeable than all other devices I have and my shooting companions have. With that being said it works. I know .223/5.56 recoil is minimal, but this brake is awesome.

Good post, lots of newer folks to the AR platform, will ask what the difference between the two are and which should they get. Thanks for posting.

Having tried brakes and comps on everything from 8" 9mm subgun/pcc's to my FN Scar 17, I moved away from comps for a few reasons. Training in close quarters in buildings and around cars will definitely wake you up real quick with a comp.
The other issue I have personally seen training newer shooters as well as taking the ladies in my life, the tend to dislike anything with a comp as the concussion and noise distracts them. If a comp suits your needs I would say go for it, but with proper training and technique is what you gain from a comp really worth the trade off in the noise?
