[QUOTE="brentc, post: 624214, member: 16938"] Are you talking sound "suppressor" or flash "suppressor"? If flash suppressor, the answer is no, it will not decrease felt recoil. It will only reduce the muzzle flash signature when firing in dim conditions. Although to the untrained eye they may look similar to a muzzle brake, they will not function like a muzzle brake. If you mean sound suppressor, the answer is yes, it will decrease the felt recoil, and it will reduce the noise to "no ear protection levels." This is the best option for what you're describing, but there are downsides. First, there are several legal steps you have to go through to legally posess a suppressor and right now it takes close to a year to get a tax stamp from the ATF to legally own one. Second, you have to figure in physical length. A suppressor will add at least 8 inches to the end of your barrel. If you run a 30" barrel already, another 8" could be a serious consideration for running a sound suppressor. [/QUOTE]
