Quoted: After doing a search I've read a few threads on the Noveske FH, but I still haven't found a good description outlining what it does.
I realize that a FH reduces flash of course, but what does this one do differently than other models?
Does it reduce flash while acting as a compensator as well? What is it's raison d'etre?
Denny, could you provide some technical insight-or point me in the right direction to find some?
Thank you Sir!

The Noveske units main function is to direct muzzle blast away from the shooter and his team members.
All center fire shorties have a mean back blast that really concusses you when firing, especially on full auto and even semi in enclosed enviornments. The Noveske unit all but eliminates the beating you take with shorties. If you have not personally experienced it you cannot appreciate how distracting it is. For civvies with shorties, especially those who do not live in suppressor friendly states or who don't want to spend the $$$$$ for a can these are most definately the answer.
Flash suppression is fair, better than an A2 IMHO but it is not a Vortex or a Phantom, but pretty good, but that is not its primary function.
This is not a silencer and has been ruled by BATF to be a flash hider. It simply directs the muzzle blast down range. These will be going on all my shorties are not suppressed. John Noveske basically improved the AK74SU unit and this one is top quality and made in the USA. The cone inside is stainless steel and the unit can be disassembled in a minute or less for cleaning.
