Suppressors Brake with a Suppressor?

[Chukwithak]

Currently waiting for approval with my first suppressor. I pulled the trigger on a Banish Backcountry for Hunting. Slincer Central, I feel like, fed me a great sales pitch, and I bit when I shouldn't have. That's for another conversation.

My current hunting setup with a TiPro 3 or 4 brake is right at 8 lbs. With the switch-up I've done in optics and adding the suppressor, I imagine I'll be at 8 1/4lbs, so I don't mind adding a brake to the suppressor at 1.5oz with the SRS brake.

Does a brake help a suppressor? I understand how a brake helps without a suppressor, but I don't understand how it helps inside a suppressor.

A brake will take some load off of the blast chamber, but in a bolt gun the firing schedule is slow enough that it shouldn’t matter for the life of the suppressor.

Agreed. I have seen some people in the industry such as Austin from @GRIFFIN_ARMAMENT state that a brake may be slightly quieter than a flash hider (when used as the mounting muzzle device), but I’m not sure if it’s anything you would actually be able to notice. As for recoil impulse, no it will not make a difference inside the suppressor. Also, you are correct about Silencer Central.
