Lightbulb M&P 15 compensator

I just bought an M&P 15 Sport and want to add a compensator. I can't seem to find anything on the web. Can someone give me some ideas?

This is the one I'm currently using

Smith Enterprise 5.56mm DC Muzzle Brake

Works better than I imagined it would! Search that site, there are lots of ideas there.

yep congrats on the Sport, just make sure you are in a state where a suppressor is legal.

Grover,

A compensator, where I grew up, is also known as a muzzle break, a device used to reduce felt recoil, at the cost of directing propellant gas back and to the sides of the shooter (thus making a louder bang).

A compensator isn't a suppressor, also commonly referred to as a silencer.

Maybe it is just terminology....or a regional thing....but that is how I understand it.

Here is a great set of YouTube videos from 21st Century Gunfighter discussing and demonstrating various comps.

I currently have the BattleComp 1.0 in stock for 139.99. The BattleComp 1.0 is one of the most popular and effective brakes on the market right now.

Here is an article from Military Times Gear Scout discussing flash hiders and muzzle brakes.

sorry I meant compensator, I had just been reading about suppressors, I was just wondering about his rifle cause most of them come with one.
