I was at the range the other day with some competition shooters and played with several comps and it was an excellent place to learn. I heard the comment about overgassed comps that will dip the muzzle and some liked it because they are counting on shooting from a bipod or hard rest that made no difference. I tried a battle comp, spikes, griffith(not sure which one it was, lots of little holes), Troy claymore, PSA pigsticker, JP tank and the Kaw valley.

I think they all did a pretty good job of cutting the recoil and noticed a big difference in shooter comfort. Behind some of them I could not shut off my blink reflex and cannot imagine deploying one in a confined se. I think my favorite was the kaw valley, not the greatest on recoil reduction but I really like the way it pushes everything out front and makes it quieter for the shooter.
