Founded by two brothers who are both combat veterans from Operation Iraqi Freedom, Griffin Armament has the skill, experience and knowledge of manufacturing to provide you with the industry leading firearm solutions you're looking for!
The QD Blast Shield is constructed of 17-4PH stainless steel and is ideal for reducing the felt force of concussion in close quarters when used in conjunction with a muzzle device. This is a fantastic add on that will redirect muzzle blast forward, away from other team members and is especially effective on shorter barrels. The concussive force of muzzle blast in a CQB environment can go far beyond discomfort. It can be deafeningly loud, cause prolonged headaches and can be dangerously disorienting. The QD Blast Shield is specifically designed to minimize or eliminate the negative effects of muzzle blast. A quick detach mechanism included with the unit is compatible with the Griffin line of SDQD mounts including the Flash Comp, Muzzle Brake, Linear Comp, Compensating Flash Hider, and Tactical Compensator. It's also compatible with many Mil-SPEC USGI A2 muzzle devices, however it should be noted that not all A2 style muzzle devices are made to Mil-SPEC USGI dimensions. Do your part to enhance hearing protection, safety and comfort at the range or on your team. Make sure you have the Griffin Armament QD Blast Shield on your rifle!

Good product... but there's a catch
FULL DISCLOSURE: In order to take responsibility for my part, it'd be wise to understand I bought this item without reviewing the full specs of my gun's muzzle break compared to the description provided on the site. I saw that it was "compatible with many (not all) Mil-SPEC USGI A2 muzzle devices" so I figured we were all good. What this should say is "might work on your stuff, probably better to buy one of our muzzle breaks to make sure". Look, it's a tough racket out there. The only way to not turn this into a price war between vendors is to ensure some level of proprietary technology; I get it Griffin Armament. The alternative is cheap parts made from inadequate materials.With all that in mind, I enjoy the product. A little pineapple to stick at the end of my rifle absolutely helps reduce the blow back when I fire by sending that concussive force forward. It does make the gun kick a bit more, but I'm using this on a .223, so that difference is nominal at best. Also, the blast shield does add a little weight to the end of my barrel further reducing muzzle rise. As for installation, once you get around the issue of a fully compatible muzzle break, it's super easy. There's a gate lock that's kept in place by a metal plate that slides down to open and the blast shield fits easily and quickly onto the end of your gun (over the muzzle break). If you have a Griffin muzzle break, it'll be a snug fit. You can also just as easily remove this thing without the use of tools which makes it nice for those individuals in states where these are illegal (for whatever reason). If you want it on there for home defense but need to take it off before any John Q. Law arrives to assess the damage, you should be good. I'd recommend this product but ONLY with the caveat that people should check with the vendor to ensure your muzzle devise is not an issue. Sort of sucks to spend $200 bucks just to find out you have to spend $100 more to ensure a good fit.
