Recommendations for a 9mm muzzle brake to lessen sound
Greetings all. I'm thinking about acquiring a CZ Evo3 S2, but am weary about the closeness of a four inch barrel when shouldered. So, to lessen noise, without having to go the suppression route, can anyone recommend the best 9mm muzzle brake to dampen sound? If it's comparable to "the flying pig" I'm all in. Thanks.

Muzzle brakes reduce muzzle rise, not report. In fact: They tend to make the report louder for those behind the muzzle, because they reduce rise by directing upward some of the gases that would otherwise go out.

Also find a blast shield to go with the muzzle brake,

What this does is move the gas forward not up and out like a flash hider. A muzzle break move it backwards or to the sides. In general. Breaks typically will put the sound closer to the ear. A flash hider will direct some of the sound up, a blast shield will direct the gas and sound foward away from the ear.
Edit: And, the Kaw Valley that Artie mentions below. I couldn't remember the name when I posted earlier.This message has been edited. Last edited by: RichardC,

I've been considering a Kaw Valley Precision Linear Comp for my 9mm build.

Look at the CZ Scorpion modification thread. Rhino has the most experience with the shorter barrel Scorpion pistol. The Evo 3 S2 already comes with the Faux NoOsprey on it. The Scorpion is a very fun gun. Plenty of aftermarket modifications. I permanently mounted an older 9 mm suppressor after removing the faux suppressor.

I have a kaw valley on my 10.5 ar and it definately helps kick the sound and pressure away. Should be as good as it gets for a device. My antique SWR trident 9 is of course the best muzzle device.

My wife’s 4” MPX has a flash cone on it like the Flamin Pig. Works great!

I own one of those KAK "Flash Cans" on a 40 cal AR Pistol, 8.5" barrel, and was pleasantly surprised at how well they work.

147 grain 9mm will quiet it down even more.
