Supressor direct thread vs muzzle brake mount?

[jbwright]

This is simply not true

Edit to add: maybe they are talking about muzzle brakes added ON to the end of a suppressor. Those do add recoil reduction to a suppressor. But to my knowledge they still do not compete with well designed, straight muzzle brake

I do not believe them if they are claiming a muzzle brake MOUNTED suppressor will have less recoil than an identical, direct thread suppressor

skeptical, too - found this thread and combing through it - https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/suppressor-and-integral-brakes-recoil-reduction.314686/

Edit: I do think they're saying a muzzle brake MOUNTED suppressor can mitigate more recoil than DT. That's how I read that bit. Hmmm

All mine are direct thread. I despise muzzle breaks and as some have said, a muzzle break designed for a suppressor mount on the end of a sleek barrel without the suppressor looks ridiculous. If the suppressor is not on the rifle a trim thread protector is used.

If you had to guesstimate how much the can reduces recoil on your 300WM, what would you say? And to be clear, you’re direct threading the can onto your barrel w/no device? Asking because I’m building a 300wsm and trying to figure out the best route in attaching a can…DT vs brake/device + Can

Unfortunately I can't really comment on recoil reduction for this particular rifle. It's quite heavy and I'd argue it's weight plays a larger role in recoil reduction than the can itself. Aside from that bolt gun I've only ever shot it on my ARs and with adjustable gas blocks and silent capture springs, they shoot soft with or without the can.

Totally understand, thanks. Missed the bit you had about it being heavier setup.

If you're going between guns or need to have a qd for packing/storage, figure a mounting system out that allows you to do that and gives you a good break with no can.

If its suppressed all the time, DT.

Why can’t you go back and forth between guns with direct threads??? It’s a wash in that comparison.

Depends. All my bolt guns are direct thread. It is simple, light and clean. On ARs, I prefer a taper mount. It makes for quicker swapping. I do have direct thread AR suppressors but in the future will be using a taper mount/muzzle device.

I use the asr system pretty religiously. It adds a little weight, but I’ve had zero issues with baffle strikes or poi shift when removing and reinstalling the suppressor. I use it because I don’t want to have to switch out the dt adapter when changing from 1/2 to 5/8 or my .458 which is an oddball thread pitch. Just screw it onto the brake, lock the collar and it’s ready to go. I also don’t have to worry about whether or not it’s come loose during a firing string or packing in/out.

It just depends on what you want. If you need to pack or throw it on real quick and dont want to screw, screw, screw, screw, screw, pop off, pack, grab thread protector, then repeat screwing process....

Then get a mount/muzzle device you can go bling, twist, blop and pop it off. It costs a lot more, but you gotta pay to be gucci af. It also (sometimes) weighs a lot more.

Also, this pretty much applies to rifles and "big pistols" only. Handguns are mostly different, if you didnt know before.

I guess I can’t come up with a situation where I’d either need to install my silencer quickly like that or swap them in a rush either.

If I’m out hunting, silencer is on the gun, it’s not like I’m going to keep it in my pocket and put it on later.

But what's cool is... You could.
