Not sure where I am going with this thread, more just conversation than anything. I have noticed when we discuss different suppressors on here that our main considerations are length, weight, and sound suppression but never really talk about recoil impulse. A large amount of firearm talk on here is related to switching to smaller cartridges for the recoil/shootability aspect.
How come there is not more talk about recoil reduction/impulse in a suppressor? I have a handful of suppressors myself, but always found myself gravitating towards my omega 30 with the end brake because it is so nice to shoot with that brake on the end. Recently got the Scythe TI and have been experimenting with the omega brake on it (pic for attention attached). I think it has become my new favorite. Also have one of the new magnus RR's coming with the brake on the end that I am excited to compare.
I think for hunters, wouldn't it make sense to give up a little bit of sound suppression for more recoil reduction? I mean if a braked suppressor takes the recoil down a notch compared to a non-braked suppressor while still remaining ear safe for a few shots does that open up the scenario where you could get away with a bigger cartridge than you maybe could before? Seems like a win-win.
