    I can't watch the video so apologize if the results are in there.
    It would be out of order for me to say who's is better as I'm not independent.

    What calibre, cartridge, muzzle diameter did you have in mind

    Very nice.

    The T2 is 21mm diameter so would go on for the seamless "flush look".

    The T3 will reduce a little more recoil but is a little bigger at 25mm diameter.

    Where can you get these breaks from? I usually send my guns to Gunworks for smithing, will they have them in stock do you think or would I have to buy one then send it to them to fit?

    You can get them directly from me if you like.

    Robbie doesn't carry them in stock.

    It would be an interesting comparison to look at the sound/blast pressure from the shooters vs. recoil reduction. I understand Cal will be reviewing that compromise later in his blog. Having used a number of brakes including TRG I have found that rear angled can be highly effective but have a price to pay in blast, as can some very open designs such as the TRG.

    Outright recoil reduction is only one factor when considering the effects on the shooter, flinching can just as easily be induced through the anticipation of the concussion effect of the blast, particularly on ranges, especially if they are use a concrete table with a roof.

    I expect each user needs to find his or her personal comfort zone when considering those 2 factors and this type of empirical analysis helps educate and inform that choice. The missing factor from my own perspective is the blast effect as due to my personal comfort zone.

    Thank you to both of you for the transparent and useful testing published, helping to put the science behind the 'feel'

    I had to laugh at the APA testing on Utube - no wonder they offered to fund Cals rig, you have to wonder how they designed their brakes with out one?

    Finally after waiting for ages, (since Cals first post in his muzzle brake series), the Alamo 4 Star Cowl brake showed up on Friday

    I've had the APA Fat Bastard for 6 weeks or so.

    Got out & did some comparisons today

    Opps, the Yanks didn't do so well....



    Still waiting for some others to compare since like 5+ months... might as well be Pixie Dust, no matter what they cost or how effective they are if you can't get them...what's the point...

    Bloody impressive for a small brake. Well done.
    I personaly find the blast as much as an issue as recoil.

    Thanks.

    Not all brakes have the same blast/concussion issue.

    Radial brakes can be/are generally, nasty compared to a decently designed ported brake.
