[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 28964, member: 12"] Think you will find that "hard" data is hard to come by. Second, you list the most marketable ones that cater to select markets or are most commonly hyped. Think you will find some just as good and much cheaper. Noise reduction is just one aspect and often the least important. You listed most of the better ones. As general rule the chamber brake style (Vais, Answer, Tooley, Myer, Harrels etc) seems to give the best recoil reduction with minimal blast. Have shot and seen shot every brake out there and I go to ones that limit the concussion whereas the KDF style seem to make it worse. You can spend $260-400 for some or you can buy a Harrels for $30 and $70-100 for installation. Either way, you are still going to have to wear muffs/and or plugs and I challenge anyone to "hear" 2-5 db difference when it is in the 140+ range to start with. That is before you figure the concussion itself. I have several Holland, Tooley, Harrels that work very well all are under $150 installed in most cases. Personal opinion there is a lot of "hype" and big time markups in brakes with some smiths. Right now, for the money the Holland and Harrels offer the best deal. The Holland is $60-90 and the Harrels is only $30. Will any of them make your gun "shoot" more accurately, NO more than any device that will change the barrel harmonics and bring you closer or further from a sweet spot. BH [/QUOTE]
