I'd alternatively suggest, if a shooter has an issue with recoil/muzzle flip.......perhaps airgun or airsoft might be a more appropriate discipline

As per usual policy will be dictated by a minority of numpties that use muzzle brakes in an inconsiderate manner, and a handful of whiners who will find any excuse to go crying to big brother. C'est la vie

I think you missed my point.

I was referring to the shooter who has a rifle with NEITHER. He wants to reduce recoil / muzzle flip. He has a choice of brake or suppressor. No real difference in cost.

If his shooting is mostly at the range then either will do the same job but one will be more sociable !

there's a lot of price difference between a brake and a mod that can take 10 shot strings for any length of time , and that's without the mirage off of a hot mod making shot placement an issue

If you don't need a muzzle brake to shoot driven boar ( that's real manly man's men stuff ) then you definitely don't need one to shoot McQueens.

The big advantage of shooting the McQueen with a muzzle brake is it allows you to see the hit on the target so you can make adjustments if necessary on the following shot.
