[QUOTE="orifdoc, post: 2459224, member: 115070"] As for recoil, a brake might reduce the physical impact felt by the shooter more than a suppressor, but that's not the whole story. Muzzle blast, by itself, is a significant part of "perceived recoil" or the overall noxious stimulus experienced by the shooter. I've found that my ability to concentrate and put rounds exactly where I want them is improved by a suppressor much more than with a brake, but that's just me. I'm sure there are others with the opposite opinion. I just can't stand muzzle brakes and I'm continually baffled by those who love them. Most of us, I imagine, take the occasional shot while hunting with no ear protection at all. In those situations, suppressors might not take the sound down to perfectly safe levels, but they're a darn site better than nothing. [/QUOTE]
