ABSTRACT:
A device for reducing the felt effects of recoil in firearms including at least a barrel and a frame, this assembly including a muzzle brake unattachedly disposed around the muzzle portion of a barrel wherein the barrel completely traverses the muzzle brake. The muzzle brake is provided with deflector surfaces for upwardly deflecting pressurized gases generated during the firing of a projectile. The gases are directed against the deflector surfaces through gas outlet openings formed in the portion of the barrel transversing the muzzle brake, these gas outlets aligning with the deflector surfaces. The device further includes a retention means for securely retaining the muzzle brake to the firearm frame in relation to the longitudinal axis of the barrel. Such a device allows for the use of the combustion gases for reducing the effect of recoil, while advantageously avoiding the problems associated with precision alignment of the muzzle brake and the barrel.
