[QUOTE="Cordell, post: 454881, member: 15433"] Ok After some thinking about what Trueblue said in this post and last time I spoke with him on the phone about this issue I think I am finally understanding what you meant. Correct me if I am wrong, when you say open up the first port you are talking about where the end of the muzzle meets the brake. The opening up is done to the inside when installed on the barrel you can not see the port. I was thinking the ports on the side that are visible when ever you look at the brake. This is starting to make sense, my Smith cut the "bullet channel" smaller than what the manufacture suggested. He said the smaller the hole the better the break works. This may be very true on the brakes he uses but not so with mine. Trueblue you also got me thinking about the space between the muzzle and the brake when installed on the barrel. If there is a big enough gap back pressure will be the result. Like I said I do not have much knowledge or experience with muzzle brakes. I think I have a better understanding of the little things that can make a difference. True blue I took a pic of the brake where it meets the muzzle the first port you see, this is the one you are talking about opening up. Is that right?
