I don't care what anybody says... A 22LR doesn't produce enough pressure to make one work. If there is any reduction at all it is due to the weight of the muzzle device.

 

I agree 100%



looks only, it looks good on my ruger gold lite, cant tell any difference with or without! did I mention it looks tough sticking out there ?! LOL

 

The Tandemkross on my S&W M&P 22C does make a difference, but this pistol is light Doubt it would make a difference on a 6# rifle.

 

I have a Volquartson Muzzle brake on my Ruger Mark III. Love it. I think it's the weight that makes the difference but there is also the COOL factor.

 

I can say from experience that a good muzzle brake on a 22lr does make a difference in the amount of muzzle rise. I doubt I was using the best 22lr brake on the planet so if I'm going to buy a brake why spend money on a dozen different brakes trying to find the best one when there's so many knowledgeable shooters here who have surely tried them all. If it makes a few hundredths of a second difference on a stage x 16 runs per match it can add up. I'm not talking for a adult either. She's a 12 year old girl shooting a pistol and a 3.8# rifle.
Has anyone tried the Tactical Solutions Performance Muzzle Brake? They make at least 2 different brakes. I'm looking at the 3-chamber brake - 2 top ports and the third one is to the sides.
I haven't used many brakes on 22lr. The only brakes I've used that seemed to make any difference had top ports only. I couldn't tell any difference when using the single-chamber compensators with ports on all sides. I've had them work on .300 Win Mag but not 22lr.
Jon P & GH41, Which brakes are you using that you didn't see any difference from?
Thanks again for your help. All input is appreciated.

 

I had muzzle brakes (compensators ) on two pistols, a High Standard Citation & a S&W model 41. In my opinion they did absolutely nothing.

Both were removed & sold to shooters who though they looked tacticool.

 

It's been said but I'll say it again. I've tried a number of them and found no improvement. Maybe you will.

 

Kineti tech makes a bunch of different versions. Always wanted to try one on my 15-22

The only use is if you find one that accepts a quick detach suppressor. But then you can thread the muzzle for a AR MB then have a million options for one.

 

I have a DIP on tikka17hmr. I have a tactical solutions on a lightweight 10/22 with a old school butler creek stock with tactical solutions barrel. Purely cosmetics.

 

I have one on a Browning Buckmark. All it does is make the pistol louder and give me something else to clean.

 

This is second hand anecdotal evidence so please take this for exactly what it is worth.

Based on a recommendation I do plan to purchase one as a $29 or $49 experiment for a Tippmann I am setting up for Metal Madness.

I had a chance to meet the gunsmith from Tippmann at an event earlier this month. We talked at length and one of the subjects was muzzle devices. I had him change my barrel to the lightweight fluted barrel, and I had a compensator on it.

He asked how I liked it and I didn't really have an answer. I was using it as a thread protector because I shoot rimfire almost exclusively suppressed. I am looking at getting an effective brake because subsonic suppressed ammo will not reliably trigger the shot timer.

He works on their warranty guns a does quite a bit of function checking on customer guns. He said that of all the stuff he has tested on customer guns, one stood out as having no muzzle movement.

The Carolina Crusher from Wiland Industries. When I looked at their site, they have another one that's a little more expensive but was developed with a competitive shooter so I am not sure which one I will get but I'm going to try one of them.

I figure the gunsmith at Tippmann has tried a lot more brakes on their guns than I ever will so I will try one and if it doesn't work I'll chalk it up to the learning process.

 

I put an Area 419 Hellfire Match muzzle brake on my Vudoo for the heck of it.
The rifle shoots great with or without it but it looks cool.
Since the rifle weighs 17lbs without it, muzzle rise isn't helped, lol.

 

I really like the Carolina Crusher. Keeps the muzzle down just enough to notice and seems to clean itself which save a lot of down time.
