goldenpony 61 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I added a short, 10 slot flash hider from CSS. Made in USA by DPH Arms. I believe it is a copy of the Russian part. Also got the lock nut to hold it in place. Doubt if it has any real tactical value, but I have to admit-it looks cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

goldenpony 61 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Here are a couple of pictures. Not the greatest, but hopefully you can get the idea what it looks like. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

goldenpony 61 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Dats much better! Looking pretty good. Function well? I guess so. Not sure what it's supposed to do. Suppress flash at night? Honestly, I got it more or less for looks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 It won't suppress flash or recoil, but it does look cool. IMO the main value is protecting your muzzle from a fall in the dirt. It would work as a breaching standoff if you feel like using a shotgun to break into your own house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OhioEd 3 Posted July 17, 2014 Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 They do look cool, just don't expect it to do much flash suppression. ;-) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 If you really want one that suppresses flash, buy the tromix one. I didn't design it but I was amazed at how well it worked shooting varmints at the ranch. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like it because it looks cool, but it's strictly a flash hider and door breach device. You can use it to punch holes in doors by jamming your gun into the door. I suppose you'd give the door a few blasts, then jam the jagged teeth on the end into the door to tear up the door to get inside (or outside). http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/product_p/dph-s12-phantom.htm Edited August 15, 2014 by MR_22 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott LOL. Well, congrats on the flash hider. It was the one I liked best when looking around. And I liked how it kinda-sorta matched the slotted barrel shroud that I got. I got the info about it being a door breacher at the Carolina Shooters Supply link above. I didn't buy it for that purpose, though. I bought it mostly because it made my S12 look better. Funny they are marketing it as such. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 The DPH flashider/ choke adapter would be one of my top pics. I fully intend to buy one to replace the MD flash hider I traded for an autoplug. I think about 10/10 people who handled the gun commented on how cool it looked. While ultimately a '74 comp would look better to me, it was a very good look on the gun. DPH one is visually interchangable IMO. I am sure you could tell them apart side by side, but the visual impact is the same. Adding the ability to take winchokes is a huge plus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Inspector 12 37 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I like my JT Engineering competition brake. The slots on the top help with muzzle rise and the slots on the sides help with recoil. Dissipates muzzle flash fairly well too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Good legal definition. I have used it for bolts, chain, trees, fencing, studs and a bunch of other stuff with no problem whatsoever. It works perfectly. It does not hide any flash. Do not try this at home. Edited August 21, 2014 by Stryker0946 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 There ARE effective"" flash hider/sound suppressors" available that are legal and affordable. They are called barrel extensions. This is a LONG (up to 3') thin extension barrels that use screw in choke threads. These are apparently made for the 1% that have skeet/trap ranges in the Hamptons or other high dollar places. The extra length allows all of the powder to burn IN the barrel, and the pressure to drop before the wad leaves the end. They make the retort small enough that their neighbors do not complain about the noise. The down side is that a shotgun with a 5' or 6' barrel is a bit unwieldy!'

gunfun 3,931 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Interesting. I always assumed that those were mostly sold because people don't understand modern shotgun ballistics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Pate 478 Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Nope, they actually do work. Great non-NFA suppression if you're ok with adding three feet to your barrel length. http://www.metrogun.com/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
