This is my second Flare. I’ll continue to buy them and keep them on hand to give to friends when I’m at the range. So far it’s worked quite well, and I’m going to try one on a suppressor (though it’s not truly supported quite yet) to see how it holds up. I take my rifle down every time I leave the range (using a discreet bag), so I need to be able to grab the barrel. I can shoot other guns while the barrel cools down without having to risk a burn. Self preservation at its finest.
