[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 1089235, member: 1290"] You don't need to find out if it will hold or not. It's been done at least untold thousands of times and not one mention of a failure has ever hit the internet world wide. Considering some or most guys can't thread to a shoulder so they cut to a relief even deeper than the thread minimum. Not even the thinnest 300 Ultra mag can distort or blow one off. If it was going to be an issue certainly we would have seen at least one bulged barrel by now. If a Glock blows a mag out it get's spread around the internet so much you would think every Glock made blew up. I believe a muzzle brake adds a measure of safety to these thin barrels. #1: We are only talking trimming the barrel for .6" back. Not even the length of any hunting bullet. #2: The added support from the brake threaded over it when it's tightened compresses the barrel due to the wedge action of the threads makes it super supported making it much stronger than the original untouched muzzle was. #3 Then the brake acts as a vented guard that helps prevent getting dirt or snow in the muzzle which can definitely cause a barrel failure. This makes putting a 1/2-28 brake over 30 caliber a non issue. [/QUOTE]
