KAC Triple Tap Really Worth the Money?

Hey guys,

In the process of building a "spared no expense, high speed" system. The only thing I really don't have any experience with is a variety of compensators. I have tried a few, some better than others, but all are generally in the same price range. My question is, is the Triple Tap REALLY that effective for the price? Or is this just one of those "It's KAC, so we charge you x4 the standard market price"?
 
Amazing comp, that does a great job of mitigating recoil without giving up to much flash. I cannot recall what it's constructed out of, but I recall the manufacturing process is part of the reason to the high cost.

Honestly I prefer the Battlecomp. Just as good of a job at a third of the price.
 
It's made of Inconel and the slits are done with a wire EDM. So right off the bat it's gonna be expensive from a manufacturing standpoint.
It's also a 'blast baffle' for a supressor. But you can't have one of those so that's kind of moot.

Sure it works. Are there more cost effective muzzle widgets you can buy that may be more suited for what you're using it for? Absolutely.

But why ask if you are sparing no expense?? Most high priced items are high priced based on advertising and endorsements.
It should not matter how they perform if you want to spare no expense, you are going for high dollar, right?

Big name, Big endorsements, Gov. Contracts = Big $$$$$

High quality, Great Performance = $$
 
Spare no expense for a quality piece. No need for the sarcasm. If it was truly superior by heads and shoulders over the competition, then yes, spare no expense. I'm so sick of peoples BS when someone is just trying to gather information.

Everything you need to know about the KAC Triple Tap is right here.
 
I've never shot the KAC Triple Tap. I desperately want to, just because I'm interested in muzzle devices and TT is decadent in it's construction. I've tried many muzzle brakes and comps and not all are created equal. IMO, you can get comps/brakes that work better than the TT and for a lot less money. But if money is no option, you can't beat the cool factor of the TT.

Watch this 5 part series, it may help. They did a good job with their reviews:

I've never been into the LCF, I like effective items that truly make a difference. Seems I'll be trying the Battlecomp or a Dlask product to start.
 
The TT is only cost effective if you plan on putting a lot of rounds through a supressor - thats where the inconel construction will shine.

Not worth the money IMO. Doesn't matter what kind of muzzle device you buy, you will never eliminate completely the recoil.

This is true in the sense that you will still have some rearward push, however there are devices out there, like the Ares Effin-A, that let you absolutely get rid of all muzzle climb. The Effin-A can be tuned far enough that you can actually push the muzzle down with each shot if you want. This muzzle climb, or lack thereof, is what makes an AR very quick to shoot for multiple shots. The small amount of rearward push that is left does little to hinder fast shooting.

Yes, also. With the Battlecomp, PWS brake and Surefire brake, I had muzzle migration to 3 o'clock. Maybe with the Effin-A, you could tune it to reduce the migration caused by the bullet torque.

Yes it's totally worth the cost

Or

Yes it's a KAC "Because you suck and we hate you" pricing scheme?

Seems that from watching the 5 series videos when they were posted that there are other products out there that do not cost $500 and are totally comparable.
 
If shooting suppressed then KAC is the best apparently, but here is a little thing that will change with KAC, they have the MAMS coming out for 556 and they are liking it better, but i think the TT is the most costly to build hence the price. I own a TT and love it. Eventually all get another, but there are a lot of great options out there, the "Flaming Pig" by Noveske is one of them I also own and the "nay Sayers off late" on "PIG" are very wrong in my opinion. I would get the TT, it is nice to have and try new things, especially something more rare and that is made without any corners being cut.

It's Knights, not HK.

Kevin and the others at Knights have worked their ass's off to get us product up here. They have also helped other US companies work through the export hurdles to help us get more cool stuff up here.

There is no doubt that they are putting out some great products.

However when compared to the other muzzle brakes and compensators available, are you saying that the $470 price tag is 3x or 4x "worth it" over others?

If so, which criteria are you going off from?

They choose to make the TT out of a ubber hard metal that is super hard to cut and work with and it reflects in the price tag. But how does that make it so much better for us common folks who can't use suppressors?
