Lantac Dragon vs VG6 gamma56 vs Surefire MB566k

[kevlar711yo]

Hi, does anyone have any experience with these muzzle devices. If you have tried all 3 of these muzzle devices which one do you think is the best? Also any other brands that you recommend that are better than these please chime in too? Thanks!
Criteria:
1)Recoil
2)Muzzle rise
3)Noise( Least amount of noise, although most brakes are loud)

MB556K, because I don't want anybody on my left or right.
Very little felt recoil
Minor if any muzzle rise
If people stay on each side of you, the break isan't doing it's job right.

Surefire is good but pricey. Try this one

SF MB556K
1) Zero recoil
2) Zero muzzle rise
3) Not loud at all for the shooter, pretty loud and concussive for others.

At Angeles, I had no problem double tapping the steel targets at 300 and 400. Could easily spot impacts and fire quick followup shots at 500 and 600 too. It helps having a heavy gun, but that brake completely eliminates felt recoil and rise.

I wonder if people in the military or law enforcement use muzzle brakes. If they do would it screw up their ears without hearing protection?

Anybody here have any experience with Lantac Dragon or VG6 Gamma 556.

The Lantac Dragon just came out so I doubt anyone has any real world experience with it.

Most do not use brakes, especially in the Military as it's generally frowned upon changing the muzzle device yourself without command approval. And yes, you better believe it would jack up your hearing royally shooting without ear pro, more so I would think than using the normal flash hider as it is directing more noise and blast backwards.

I have the VG6 on my AR. I like the small profile and very good performance.

I've used the SF MB556K as well as others from Griffin. The VG6 has been the best so far.

I hope to try the Bravo Company brake soon.

I own the Bravo, SF, PWS, Dark Metal Design, JP and several others. Hands down the SF has them all beat. Here is the reason why....

The SF drives the gun straight back without muzzle dip or rise or torque roll.

If you watch the Dragon and VG youtube videos you can see both have dip and some torque roll.

I can empty 10rds in 2 seconds into a torso target with a 3.5x acog mounted and the crosshairs stay right on center mass.

Muzzle brakes on military rifles are typically run as mounts for suppressors, so the need for hearing protection is negated for the most part. Very few service rifles run them though. I can only think of the MK 12, and some of the newer FN SCAR rifles that SOCOM uses. Some of the mil variants of the Remington 700 are also sometimes equipped with Surefire brakes/suppressors.

Is it better in terms of Recoil, Muzzle rise, noise?

So you tried both the Dragon and VG too, cause I was guessing one of those devices would be better the Surefire. Also do you the SF MB556k is better than the SJC Titan?

Another vote for the surefire, I have the MB556k and the newer SFMB556. Both make the 223 feel like a 22.

Some folks here think the Titan is more effective. I run titans on three rifles. One is a 308 and they shoot soft and flat. The 223s feel like 22s and the 308 feels like a 223.
