Too bad gunnut is out of the testing business, with his accelerometer equipped upper. It would be interesting to see his graph of a linear comp, compared to a Holland/Miculek style one like Ross sells.

I wonder if Tony did some similarly equipped A/B testing and would share the resulting graphs?

Sound meter check at the shooter's ear position would be an interesting comparison, too. Concussive pressure laterally is probably lessened, as well.

Jim over at Simple Thread Devices is making a 45 caliber version of his STD linear comp/flash hider as well. its still in the R&D stages last i saw. Couple weeks before x-mas he got chewed up pretty good by some ladys yapper at the local dog park and is recovering from a severed tendon and a bone chip last i read, so hes been slow down on production of his non R&D stuff too.
