Muzzle brake options for 5.56mm pistols that push noise and concussion downrange?
New to short barreled firearms, in my case a SIG MCX 5.56mm pistol. Been surrounded by those with SBR's for a long time, but never paid much attention to their muzzle brakes as it was not applicable to me. But now that I own a pistol with an 11.5" barrel, it is applicable, and I am wondering if there exists a muzzle break that both helps with muzzle climb and recoil, as well as directs the noise and concussion of the 5.56mm round downrange? Logic tells me that anything pushed downrange will INCREASE felt recoil, so not sure if possible unless I go with a can.
I have seen many back in the day use the Noveske KX3 flash suppressor on SBR's, but as far as I know, it doesn't do any muzzle rise braking. On my carbines I have used several, my favorite being the Griffin Arms M4SD, but all of them have significant concussion to those next to me. With an 11.5" barrel, this would only be worse. Plus, the intended purpose for this collapsible brace MCX pistol will often be in a vehicle, so muzzle brake concussions inside a vehicle, or very near the window, is a big concern.
So, any options for a short barreled pistol firing a 5.56mm rifle round? Or do I just need to stop waiting for the "Save Our Hearing" firearm suppressor legislation to get considered and passed and just get my paperwork in on a can and wait?
