Range WIN

So, long day, left at 06:30 and jsut got home 20:00. Had two basic intro classes today, more about them later. In between classes I was able to get a little trigger time myself. John, another instructor and I shot a qual course that we are planning for graduates of Defensive Pistol Skills to flesh it out and see if time and score constraints are reasonable.

In addition, I ran a few rounds through the M4gery to test out a new muzzle brake. I had used a Holland Quick Discharge and while it basically eliminates recoil completely, problem is to do this it redirects so much gas that it causes a major shock wave that really disturbs the other shooters on the line and especially students. During a match one shooter at a time it is not a problem, during a class this is very bad for the students. So, I had been cooking up a design for a smaller brake that would cut down on recoil some but not blow that other folks on the line away. So, I took a 0.750 dia, two chamber brake and added a shroud around it to redirect gasses to the front so the shock wave goes down range with the muzzle blast the god intended. Well, I have to say it cuts recoil some but not as much as the Holland, However, the noise for the shooter and those on the line is much better. There is still a loud report but it is directed away from the shooter. Very pleasant to shoot. I think I still need to make a few tweeks but think I have a winner.
