What are the advantages/disadvantages of having a suppressor attached via brake or without one and directly threaded onto the barrel? Surefire locks onto the barrel which is a plus. That's one that I can think of any others let me know.
 
Re: Suppressor w/or w/o brake

Some protection from erosion, and in some cases, enhanced sound reduction, as brakes get gas out of the bore line.


Not critical, but helpful. The other benefit is recoil control when you aren't using the can obviously.
