Muzzle Break for 9mm

**BGREID** · 12-20-17, 10:37

I am looking for a muzzle break for a 9mm PCC 16 inch barrel. What do you reccomend?

I'm putting the finishing touches on a 9mm carbine myself, be interesting to see what people recommend.

Personally, I am just looking for a A2 birdcage as I don't think that after 16" of barrel there will be enough muzzle pressure to do anything, but maybe I am wrong?

A 9mm brake seems excessive, like putting a spoiler on a lawn mower. Maybe if it's intended to be used with a suppressor, it'd be fine, but most 9mm suppressors seem to be 1/2x28 as it is...

Why?

Silencerco may have an option for use with their Hybrid. I know they make a flash suppressor for it at least. I don't know of any other non 3-lug QD pistol can manufacturers. Does anyone know of a reason you shouldn't have a regular .223 version bored to say .400 or so and just use whatever you prefer, as it is really just for aesthetic/thread protection anyways?

ETA: There are 9mm versions of the A2 Birdcage, comes on the colt 9mm.

All a brake will do is direct more noise back to the shooter. I mean, I guess if you just want it to seem louder knock yourself out. I would recommend a 9mm A2. Myself, I run a 3 lug, i don't feel the need for anything else on the rare occasion I run it without a can.

I have that one. Its good for getting the barrel past your desired handguard length without buying a new barrel.

Another vote for the Kaw Valley Linear Compensator. No muzzle rise at all, smooth and QUIET (without using a suppressor) as the sound goes forward instead of sideways.

Looks good with a regular 13" handguard/16" barrel.
