PWS FSC556 or Surefire MB556

[L4D]

Hard decision to make. Both have awesome reviews but more so for the Surefire. but after watching these demonstrations it seems the PWS FSC556 effectively reduces muzzle climb a little better than the Surefire brake. Now I have no idea what loads or caliber they are using in the surefire video but the PWS demos shows what happens on paper during FA which looks impressive and also how it handles on an M249 SAW.
They're both in my budget range but the reviews for the Surefire are hard to beat.
I hate to make a call by just watching youtube videos perhaps some owners could give some feedback. Maybe someone who has or had both. Which one did you like more? which one effectively reduces muzzle climb more?

i've tried both and have to say that they are very comparable and it is a hard choice between the two. i must say though, have you looked at the AAC 51T Break? it is truly superb at controlling muzzle climb.

Good question. I bought the FSC556 but I haven't even used it yet because my AR is still in jail (she gets out Monday!!).

I too would like to hear a juxtaposition from people who have owned both.

I have a 556 on my ar, that combined with a basic 2 stage trigger makes a very big difference

I wanted one of these for my build, but couldn't find anyone with them in stock. WTF!? So I just got a thread protector until I can get the AAC.

Great thing about the AAC and Surefire, and others, should California ever allow silencers, you already have a mount right there.

EDIT: Ok, scratch all that. I was actually looking for the Brakeout 51T.
