Got it narrowed down to 3, a Surefire SOCOM RC2, Dead Air Sierra5 and a Huxwrx Flow 5.56 K.
Shot the Huxwrx today on a Colt 11.5” barrel, no ear pro, it was bearable maybe a little less than a 22 LR. No blowback that I could discern even shooting left handed.
Surefire seems like a solid choice and is in stock at my dealer but it’s heavy.
The Dead Air is the lightest of the 3 and has a bit better flash suppression from low light videos I’ve seen. Finding one to shoot will be the hard part.
Right now the Huxwrx seems like a good combination of everything I want. Going back to my dealer to see if he can get one and how much.
Anymore input?
You might compare to Griffin Armaments Optimus 9 and Optimus Micro. Former being configurable, more versatile, but heavier (at least in largest format)... and latter being less capable but lighter.
I haven't compared with others, so this is just an observation, not a recommendation.
