Damn, I was at an indoor range last week and the shooter in the next lane had a normally-tame, 9mm AR with a muzzle brake. I had on foam ear plugs underneath my Howard Leight electronic muffs. I worked my handgun through about 5 minutes of his muzzle-braked blasts and had to put it down and go outside for awhile...the lateral blasts were concussing me and shaking the dividers. I was getting a headache. Normally sheit doesn't bother me and I never complain.....
In researching many brakes, reviews say the bottom line is, if they work at all then they are loud and fire-breathing. Some very, very LOUD....and throw the lateral concussive gas 3-4 feet in each direction....e.g. SJC Titan, DPMS Miculek, Venom Defense, Precision Armament, and many other top brakes.
Seems at an outdoor range, we are going to be blasting our neighbor fairly violently all day long. Not only loud and concussive, these gases knock sheit over...and off tables, too.
Are there any good brakes....of course, non-flash hiding....that produce relatively low concussion? Or do you have to go with a thread protector if you want to be nice to your neighbor?
Otherwise, this may not go nicely....
