    So what's the benefits over something like a lighter weight can as that will reduce light, sound and muzzle jump? Is it purely just a balance/weight thing?

    Well I have basically stopped using the Ase Utra as it's too heavy.... waiting on a certain titanium QD can to come to market.



    a FH is lighter + shorter than a can if you're worried about that, and happy to wear earplugs. FH is probably more effective for reducing muzzle movement too, and still quieter than a bare muzzle for the shooter

    Totally, but also consider that suppressors are restricted in some jurisdictions

    No, but Canada + the US for example... rather have a FH than a bare muzzle or a brake in those places.

    in the US I'd jump through the NFA hoops to get cans, but no chance in Canadia
