I use these and they seem to work as advertise. I like them. They are probably the best brake/blast shield I know of. Yes, these are better than the Noveske Pig. I have both. IMO it does a better job. The real reason to go with the SME is that the 'new' pigs are unable to be disassembled for maintenance. The Noveske customer support said they permanent lock tite them together. If anyone is wondering, these things preform surprisingly well with subsonic 22lr.
Thanks for the comment. I have a few of the pigs. I actually find the pig to perform better as a linear comp, but of course the SME would work better as a brake when the shield is removed. I am able to disassemble the pig, but honestly, I find no need to do so. You can spray break free in it, and get it sufficiently clean.
@@WorthDoingRight You know what generation your Pig is? My first gen KX3 comes apart, my KX5 does not. The customer support guy at Noveske said my KX5 shouldn't, and probably won't, be able to be serviced by the customer. I think it is not a good design aspect when it doesn't come apart. The reason I want them to come apart for cleaning is for foreign material. I watched my friend walking in front of me while we were out hunting prairie dogs slip in mud and ended up nose diving his barrel in mud. We were able to clean the barrel out and the brake in the field. If that was the Pig I was using, I would of been SOL for the whole day.
Similar thing happened to my buddy at the range. It was gravel not mud. He was pissed that we couldn't get the rocks out at the range. Then he was super pissed that we couldn't even take it apart at home to get the rest of the rocks out. It was like trying to shake every drop of water out of a tier (if you know what I mean)
@@Magnum-284 Interesting. I have never had my muzzle in mud or rocks, but I understand that could happen. If one needs to get it apart, heat it up. If that doesn't work, they may have used rockset, which can be broken down in boiling water.
I like the SME. I think it is better than the Pig. On some things, I prefer it even over a suppressor. My one suppressor is not hearing safe with 5.56. So, if I'm going to need ear pro anyways, it is nice having it just stay with some rifles.
Appreciate the honesty and the personal investment. We have been very pleased and impressed with the Witt products we have purchased and plan to continue to buy more in future. I look forward to the results you get with the 6.8. I have considered this product for my hunting rifles. But just haven't done so. Happy hunting.
I am going to part with some of them as I picked up a couple of suppressors from silencer shop, and just don't need these. I have several of these that were never used if you are interested that I will let go for much lower than retail...but that is not why I made the video. I only posted this in my reply because it sounds like you were going to try one anyway.
@@APBT-Bandog That is very kind of you. I will hold off for a bit. Hunting hard now and winter soon. I am a self employed contractor and winter slows down a good bit.
I love mine in 5.56, but i dunno about people saying it's a suppressor without being a suppressor. It's still loud and you need ear pro. That said... I'll buy another and recommend them to my friends.

@@500spectre I have three, all three are the smaller and lighter KX5. I got them apart.

I'll always go for a suppressor over options similar to those products.
I am now the same way, but had good experience with the pig. I had too much faith. Lol.
