You’re right about recoil not being just about rearward force (and Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion) but rather how that force is distributed, aka the impact zone. C’mon. With most of the shields you can kiss the vast majority of the compensating and recoil reducing benefit of your brake/comp goodbye. Diameter (at largest point): 0.74″ Like the SJC Titan Comp was ~.4″ better than the Precision Armament M4-72, but it weighs ~3.1oz more. Now, CA law defines “flash suppressor” as: (r) “Flash suppressor” means any device attached to the end of the barrel, that is designed, intended, or functions to perceptibly reduce or redirect muzzle flash from the shooter’s field of vision. Only at close-up inspection do minor flaws in machining and finish become apparent. $24.99. In addition to that, the unique design is supposed to provide some recoil reduction via prongs that increase in width as they approach the muzzle. Anti-American scum. I’m much happier than if I had spent $200 and got only similar results. . This very unique compensator is comprised of three pieces: a baffle core, a titanium sleeve, and an end cap. Finish: Melonite QPQ As with all of the brakes and flash hiders I’ve had from SureFire, machining and finish are totally flawless. I’d expect the percentage reduction numbers to change a bit but the muzzle devices to rank the same way compared to each other. Is the BFD something that could *potentially* be fitted to heavy-caliber pistols? Concussion was minimal, and based on the slow-mo footage it compensates for muzzle rise fairly aggressively. If you believe there’s a 1:1 connection, then that doesn’t account for the SJC’s 4.15% better recoil reduction performance (and I’d highly suggest looking at it as a percentage, not a distance measurement in inches). The packaging states a 62% recoil reduction vs. an A2 birdcage (which we have shown to reduce recoil by a few percent compared to a bare muzzle), and I found a 68.5% reduction vs. a bare muzzle. After trying to “get used to it” for 10 minutes I ended up just leaving. When I do show up with my brake’d .338 WM, I tell people up and down the line how obnoxious my .338 will be. The SJC Titan captures and redirects more gas than the M4-72 does, yet it accomplishes this with less fire. I don’t even believe “muzzle rise” exists in the AR platform as a function of the firearm itself but is, rather, completely caused by the shooter and to different degrees by different shooters, which is why you can’t properly compensate for it with a muzzle device unless it’s tunable for that (and some of them are!). Muzzle rise on an AR only happens because of rearwards recoil. I have read all of the tests and I appreciate all the great information as I like to read a lot before making any purchases for my rifles. Finish: black (also available in matte stainless finish) Dead/ Bad Links – Tufforce Muzzle Brake with 4-side Picatinny Rail Not only is it easier to clean and more corrosion resistant than standard steel, … Material: 17-4PH stainless steel I also use at the bench but I figure I need the flash reduction. Personally, I’d be an even bigger fan if the top ports were smaller, as I think they provide too much downwards force, but this is completely subjective and affects every shooter differently. Finish: bead blast or many Cerakote color options Of course, with the end cap welded onto it, there could be more going on inside than meets the eye. Have you tested these two in your previous reviews? Diameter (at largest point): 0.876″ I’d basically choose the best-performing brake that’s compatible with a blast shield, and ensure that it’s a blast shield that can go on and off easily/quickly. Diameter (at largest point): 1.264″ Recoil distance was measured in 1/16″ increments. MSRP: $59.95. By the time you’re in a .338, yes, a brake can really help. Weight: 2.55 oz True. It’s no longer available (sorry, I know I just shattered your plans to impulse buy one), but it was loaned to me with the MAMS so I figured I’d test it. I understand everything you’ve just said and agree. Griffin’s M4SD line of suppressors and muzzle devices uses the same QD mounting grooves as the A2 birdcage, meaning their suppressors work on an A2 and their muzzle devices work with most other brands of A2-compatible suppressors. As a postscript to my last post, I will say that I can well imagine why you might be reluctant to consider doing the test I propose. Weight: 2.89 oz Great selection of Muzzle Brakes, Flash Hider, Compensators found online here. Weight: 3.299 oz Precision Armament M4-72 Severe-Duty Compensator: After two 5.56 tests and one .308 test, I’m sure the M4-72 is pretty bummed out to have been dethroned as reigning recoil reduction champion. I live in NJ and in my state flash hiders and threaded barrels are illegal on AR platforms so muzzle brakes and compensators must be installed then pinned and welded to permanently affix them to the barrel. Or, is the most of ~.4″ gained by superior steering of the combustion gases escaping the chamber (better design)? Tactical Advantage Armory NT-23 Titanium Muzzle Brake: The NT-23 is more than 4 inches of fish scale-lookin’ shark teeth with ports everywhere. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Finish: Mil-spec Parkerize, or raw In the initial testing, the SJC Titan reduced recoil by 78.18% as compared to the bare muzzle. This time around we’ve put 42 new muzzle devices to the test, measuring the recoil reduction performance of each. Finish: Salt Bath Nitride (QPQ) Read ALL of these tests repeatedly. Flash and recoil testing of this would be appreciated in future brake shootouts. Changes I would make would be eliminating the sliding friction like what you’re talking about (although my rig would be quite different from your hanging rifle idea), and controlling the temperature, humidity, and ammunition temperature very tightly. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Material: HTSR 416 stainless steel Mass is a legitimate way to reduce recoil and it absolutely is a factor. After firing 25+ 160 grain rounds in one session I anticipated “feeling” the testing later but that wasn’t the case. You have 100 yard indoor rifle ranges? Part of my motivation, besides scientific curiosity, is the fact that I purchased an M72 and found that it didn’t come close seem to canceling all muzzle rise on my lightweight carbine. Length: 2.503″ There isn’t a whole lot of reviews out on these two, but they look similar to some of the Griffin comps. I’ll put a link in my profile I guess. I dig subtle machine marks that show a piece like this has been turned down from stock on a lathe, and the Black Dawn wears it proudly. Surefire 870 Grip Reviews : You want to buy Surefire 870 Grip . and features 5/8-24 threads. I’ve got a few of the Indian Creek Designs BFD’s, I am finding they still allow the brake to do its job while eliminating 100% of the back and side blast. Try giving it a second look …plus, there’s a recoil reduction performance-per-dollar graph, MSRP listed in the stats for each brake under their heading and photograph (all alphabetical in the article), AND the Excel doc with all of the data is linked so you can download it and do things like sort them all by MSRP, by weight, or by whatever you want…, “…he SJC Titan reduced recoil by 78.18%…”. Devices that slam the muzzle down drive me crazy. Diameter (at largest point): 0.866″ This accessory can be found on our Ridgeline, Classic, and Summit Ti rifles. I bought a gel-filled recoil pad for $27 that I placed over the butt stock on my AR and it reduced felt recoil by at least 50 to 60% and my next add-on will be a flash can. The VooDoo Jet Comp is a simple, well-made, 3-port brake that performs extremely well. Everything is stupid loud, and it’s generally incredibly boring to boot.

Recoil test results for all of the entrants can be seen in the graphs and tables below. A long, single port is added to reduce recoil (by almost 46%) without excessive blast or concussion. Weight: 2.25 oz A muzzle brake made from Inconel. Man I hope they can make one for that Serbu .50 BMG single-shot I have my eye on. I don’t love recoil, but if I can manage 40 rounds through my 8lbs with scope Sako .308 bolt gun with no muzzle device and maybe have only a slightly tender shoulder wearing a t-shirt, I think with probably a 9lb semi-auto I’ll manage just fine. Finish: Cerakote (or similar) Material: steel Since first appearing on the market in 2008, Xtreme Tactical Sports products have been recognized for their innovative designs, durability, and cost effectiveness. Most physically efficient, basically, if weight is your determining factor in how effective a brake’s design is. Good job as always, but you need to remind your readers that “sled” results do not equate to “shoulder” results. So the inch results are meaningless. Then I stood by my buddy at the range while he shot his braked .308, and I came to the conclusion that using such a device at a range with other people in close proximity is just inconsiderate. I’ve had it for a few months and will be writing up a brief review soon, but the short version is that it’s great and I have nothing negative to say at all. Or, see comment #2 near the top for some info about a universal (works with most muzzle devices) blast shield that I’ve recently started testing on. Once again though, V Seven’s machining and finish is great. Free shipping. Really good machining but for small imperfections on the straight edges at top and bottom of the ports [EDIT: Again, TAA reminds me that my samples were not production-grade]. MSRP: $69 and up. A muzzle brake redirects muzzle blast energy to the sides. Sort by. Also there is some interesting testing over here if you wanted to compare: https://precisionrifleblog.com/2015/08/21/muzzle-brake-summary-of-field-test-results/. Quality is excellent in every way. However, I’m not sure what you expect the guy who has one, who maybe has to frequent the indoor range to sight in his 3gun rifle, to do. The 223CB is incredibly compact, but its two, rearwards-angled baffles are obviously highly efficient at catching and redirecting gas and pressure. If you do a 4th muzzle brake test can you do two additional tests / experiments beyond your normal routine? Length: 2.355″ Already had 42 muzzle devices to test and they’re all being compared against the bare muzzle anyway, so I cut it.

Dead/ Bad Links – Knight’s Armament Triple Tap Flash Suppressor/Compensator VG6 Epsilon + CAGE Device Length: 3.372″ This is why I never frequent indoor ranges. The sniff test is basically 1) is there any mention of flash reduction in the company materials and 2) does it clearly have recoil-reducing design features. Finish: black hard anodized Its adjustable allegedy, and also 160$. Perhaps our old friend Gersh Kuntzman should have fired an AR with a muzzle brake, perhaps then the recoil wouldn’t have bruised his shoulder!! Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Length: 2.286″ The Blast Diverter has a slender and highly efficient muzzle brake that is threaded to accept the included screw-on 'shell' that, when attached, directs most of the muzzle blast and noise forwards! If for any While there are obviously effective brakes, as Jeremy so professionally points out here and in the other TTAG brake tests, we noted with our BFD that when used on a 7mm Magnum with a 3/4″ OD 4 port brake that the rifle was a pleasure to shoot with the brake, but for the need for ear plugs as well as muffs, and anyone around you was going to get a THUMP every time. Weight: 3.094 oz Thanks! By focusing the gas out the front it’s giving you that rearwards push right back, with some small recoil reduction due to the gas cooling and pressure drop depending on the volume of the blast shield.
