I just bought a Ruger LC Carbine in 5.7 and I want to put a nice muzzle brake on it. Does anyone have any recommendations as far as manufacturers? I know that a .223/.556 is recommended over a 5.7 brake, so I thought I’d see if any if you guys have a preferred company.

I can't send a link from the company computer, but look at Lantac. They have some nice compensators and brakes. Not sure if they make a 5.7 caliber, and if you do go with a 556, check the specs and ensure there is plenty of room for that larger projectile to pass through safely. No trying to tell you stuff you already know, but i have witnessed several booboos with brakes, because folks bought the incorrect one for the caliber. It isn't pretty.

I appreciate it. I know that the LC Carbine in 5.7 performs better with a .556 suppressor rather than a 5.7, and I’ve heard that the same applies with a muzzle brake, but I want to make sure that I can verify that with a reputable manufacturer.

Those guys are definitely reputable. Give them a shout, they'll tell you the truth. They have some damned good linear and non linear compansators too.

Bad ass. Thanks again. As you know, I’m mostly a pistol guy because I’m a southpaw, so finding full ambi rifles that interest me enough to buy them is rare.

And I just got a few hundred rounds of .45 Super brass. Looking really forward to loading those bad boys up for the USP.
