Great for my Custom Build

I couldn't find exactly what I wanted but when I saw this and looked at the specs it was perfect for my project. I had a 9mm build that I was doing but couldn't find the exact muzzle brake I wanted. I ended up getting this muzzle device then center boring the internal hole to .400” of an inch for a 9mm on a metal lathe. It works amazing!!! I could not be happier glad I did it.

flamethrower

This definitely lives up to the reviews on here. On a 10.5 inch barrel this thing is an absolute flamethrower you also feel slightly less recoil. However this seems to be more of a novelty item then a practical use item as you can't see any thing but fire down sights once you fire a shot. Fun to shoot with and quite a bit louder if you are inside or at a covered range you will want multiple layers of ear protection.

Closest youll ever get to a real dragon

This brake is awesome! Not only is it one of the shortest brakes on the market but it will make you the most popular guy at the range. The fire ball that comes out of this on a 7.5 barrel is insane. Not to mention the sound. Take this to the range and watch everyone jump, its as if theyre jumping for joy. The only disclaimer that should be included on the packaging is: Warning, spare pair of underwear not included.

Perfect

Needed a small affordable muzzle brake for a light weight build. This worked perfectly.

Small comp

The Brownells small compensator is 3/4” diameter and suitable for a thin (pencil) barrel. A little too small (In my opinion) for a bull (.970) barrel. But if you’re looking for a small 22LR compensator, that is a one inch long, and 3/4” diameter, this will work.

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend
