Works like a dream and saved me from getting rid of my ar pistol - Noveske KX5 Flash Suppressor, 1/2x28 Threads

My 7.5" AR Pistol was very unpleasant to shoot when using the standard A2 flash hider it came with. All the force and concussion would come back in my face, rattle the crowns in my mouth, and make my teeth hurt, seriously. I was about to convert my pistol to an AR-15 rifle, with a 16" barrel, but decided to give the Noveske KX5 a whirl before doing so. Well, I'm really glad I did because it saved me from switching out my AR Pistol to a rifle. There was virtually no blast in my face with the KX5, and the flash was tamed quite a bit too, which made it much more pleasant to shoot, and easier to put rounds on target. Even the sound was tamped down a bit, but it's still pretty loud, which is to be expected with such a short barrel. All the energy is pushed downrange now and my teeth don't hurt anymore. Yeah! So thank you Noveske for making these sweet suppressors. My son has a KX-3 on his AR Pistol, and loves it just the same.

One bit of advice though for those planning to buy a KX5 (or KX3): BEFORE you use it, take it apart and put "Loctite LB N-5000, Nickel-Based, Anti-Seize lubricant" on the threads on the inside of the Flash Suppressor, around the top of the cone. It'll make 10 times easier to take apart and clean after putting several hundred rounds through it at the range! If you do it after you put a bunch of rounds through it, all the carbon build up from the rounds you shoot will seize up those threads and make it extremely difficult to take apart. And trust me, you do want to take apart you flash suppressor and clean it, esp. after heavy use, or you will defeat the purpose of having it in the first place.
