I suspect that it's the flow through design that makes it not eye stinging.

Plus I am a left handed rifleman there's also the ejection port side that's doing it oo. I do have a Surefire OBC already on order but that is for my 14.7 mid with a Rarebreed FRT three position to smooth the cyclic a bit.
This BCG is designed to reduce sound at the shooter's ear and it works better the longer the gas system. On shorties it's negligible for the most part in regards to sound. It might reduce it some but nothing like a longer rifle with a rifle gas system.

As far as gas management goes let us know what your results are. It might help some for a lefty but that seems to be outside of the parameters of the original design concept.

Another thing that could potentially help you is the cam pin path is longer than a regular carrier. This ever so slightly delays the bolt opening giving the gas more time to go forward.

If you are getting that much gas though I would think you probably have other things that could be addressed. I am not familiar with that exact supressor but it sounds like you figured it out. A BCG can't fix a high back pressure suppressor though. Yes it might mitigate some of it but it probably won't eliminate the whole thing.

Just test it out and let us know.
