Thread: Suppressor Recoil Reduction Testing???

There is little argument that a good break will have a greater influence but personally reducing recoil is only relevant to a comfortable level, Im not interested in having the best /latest/greatest, other considerations take precedent. Convenience being first and foremost. So, often a can will be the best option but other times a reasonably priced well designed brake will. ymmv

all I know is my .270 SEEMS/FEELS like a pussy to shoot now and doesn't leave anywhere near as many "love bites" on my shoulder as it used to do un canned
I also know Im more than happy to fire 150s and hot 170s where as before only 130s got used,and I only have a Spartan on mine.
