The answer depends on your preference.
The Phantom Muzzle Brake has five upward facing ports to reduce muzzle climb. The bottom of this brake is solid to eliminate dust signature when shooting from the prone position. The Phantom also comes in two different styles. One features an aggressive front end and the other has a smooth, snag-free design.
The Slant Muzzle Brake offers more than just a recoil reduction. It also acts as a compensator with upward facing ports to eliminate muzzle rise for staying on target and shooting fast. This muzzle brake and compensator hybrid also comes in a variety of different sizes and thread pitches for attaching to different caliber rifles like 5.56 and .30 caliber. This hybrid muzzle brake performs well and looks great while doing so.
For those looking for a muzzle brake with a little more aggressive aesthetic, the Annihilator muzzle brake definitely fits that definition. It has six forward facing spikes because, well, why not? It also has plenty of porting to vent gas outward and reduce felt recoil. Like the phantom, the bottom is closed to make it easier to shoot prone without kicking up dust.
Yankee Hill offers flash hiders with effective designs that simply reduce the bright muzzle flash from the end of the barrel. These flash hiders are great for use when shooting in low light conditions where the flash of a discharged round can sometimes be bright enough to inhibit your vision. They also do not have the concussion effect that muzzle brakes generate and make for a nicer experience when standing near or behind the shooter.
The Phantom flash hider is one of the oldest and most popular products YHM offers. It has an aesthetic like an A2 flash hider but can be had with popular aggressive designs with multiple forward-facing prongs. The five port upward facing design effectively reduces the muzzle flash and the aggressive end cuts can be used in hand-to-hand situations.
For those looking for something even more aggressive, the Annihilator is also available in a flash hider design. The sharp six prong design can also be used in hand to hand if the situation ever arises. Instead of five ports, the Annihilator has six surrounding the entire circumference which help to eliminate up to 99% of muzzle flash. This design also does not require timing to the barrel and it will be effective from any position.
