Makes the whole thing louder again but further reduces recoil?

Seems to be a hybrid solution between a suppressor and a muzzle break.
Not as loud as a pure muzzle break, not as recoily as a pure suppressor.

Makes it slightly louder and yes further reduces recoil.

Im pleased STC asked....the whole concept has me more than a little confused...suppressor = makes it quieter VS brake =obnoxiously loud
lots of us fitted suppressors to look after our hearing and that of the dogs....how does this new gadget fit in with that hearing consideration in mind???

Typically you can’t spot your shot with a suppressor, mainly because most people put them on a short barrel which has more blast and muzzle flip. A muzzle brake yiu can spot your shot piece of piss. The concept of a brake on a suppressor would be a medium between both

Running a MK1 on my T3 using 53gr TSX. It does not lift. It has extra baffles though.

Its still significantly quieter than with nothing on the muzzle. Some people want their suppressor to offer better recoil reduction. This allows people even greater flexibility to fine-tune their dpt suppressor.

OK thanks for clarifying that..I run two of your suppressors and love them to bits just as they are....have never fired a suppressed rifle and felt need for MORE recoil reduction... I guess the constant evolution of things leads to even more great things down the track .keep up the great work.

You are shooting a 53 grain projectile, try it with a 180 grain, there is a BIG difference

170grns in 270 doesnt lift...I hang on to forend LOL... but I do get your drift.

Maybe it's not for you then ....try shooting a lightweight big magnum with a stout load you'll want all the recoil reduction you can get. With any type of brake it's a trade off and a braked suppressor is no different, yes it is slightly louder than an un braked suppressor but it's a shit tone quieter than a brake and more effective at reducing recoil than a standard suppressor. But this also comes at the cost of extra muzzle forward length, not much but a little.

Great to see another option on the market for braked suppressors @DPT keep up the great work
