Recommended muzzle devices for carbine length 9mm PCCs?

[Anangrypasta]

Working on a 16" 9mm build and I'm trying to figure out what to put on the muzzle. Suppressors won't be happening for me, so its down to a flash hider, brake, or compensator of some sort. When it comes to rifle length 9mm PCCs, what do you guys go with? Do comps/brakes do anything on a longer barreled 9mm? I don't see a flash hider doing much either since there's plenty of time for the powder burn. Interested to hear you all's thoughts and opinions.

I normally use a linear comp. Just make sure whatever you choose, the exit hole is large enough!!

I put a Kaw Valley Precision linear comp on my JRC 9mm carbine and really like it. It definitely projects the blast down range , away from the shooter. Also seems to have a little less muzzle rise.

I like a krinkov style.

Since you aren't producing a lot of gas to fully operate a brake, you don't need one on a 16" barrel. Yeah, they look cool but not effective for a 9mm at that barrel length. If your ammo is running 1400fps+, then one might help.
I shoot a Brekke 10.5" barrel and 6" comp, 115g ammo at 1300fps+. My 16" barrel, seldom used, has the thread protector on it.
In short, 9mm is not a .223/5.56! Save your $$ for ammo.

Agree... other than looks, a cheap A2 or thread protector.

A cheap a2 that a 9mm can pass through.

I have a brake on my sub2k. It ce that way. Can't say there is a difference.
I put a vg6 on one of my AK, and it really tames it down. I also have their 9mm version. Haven't installed it on anything yet.

I had a Midwest blast can on my 9mm PC carbine. I didn't care for it. It made it too long and felt unbalanced. I replaced it with a simple A-2 flash hider. The balance is much better and shorter! Good luck!

Kaw valley makes some pretty short linear comps currently. I'd say less than an inch longer than a flash hider.
