My gun is the loudest at the range - Yankee Hill Machine Phantom 5.56 Smooth Compensator/Muzzle Brake 1/2-28 Threads YHM-28-5M2

Let me be upfront with this one: this thing is LOUD. When I fired it at the range, everyone stopped and stared. It is actually absurd how loud this thing will make your gun. I wouldn't have bought it if California didn't ban flash hiders. Still, since I have it, I have to say I really like the performance on this piece. Recoil is minimal, the flash - while not hidden - is negligible, and it makes my AR so much fun to shoot. On top of that, it isn't nearly as expensive as some other muzzle brakes and compensators. While YHM isn't the biggest name in gun parts, if this thing is anything to go by, they sure do an amazing job.
