getitat 609 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Hmmmm...It would be cool if Tony would designate like Cobra or Dinzag (somebody trustworthy and already set up to provide parts) to handle retail distribution of his brakes. I realize Tony doesn't have the time to devote to it, but I imagine a lot of people would pick 'em up if it were easier. Just a thought..... guido2 in Houston Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wally 2 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Not bashing the sharkbrake,does it really do anything or is it a tact-a-cool item ,thinking the poly might have a real function just my.02 cents Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Some guys swear that it works as a brake, but we don't make any claims for it's functionality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have used my S12 with and without the Shark Brake, and it seems to me that it lessens felt recoil as well as keeping the muzzle rise down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waltham_41 52 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I do know it is bad ass looking, that is part of why I am getting one. Tony, did you design it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MadMax 0 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I got one of Tony's Shark brakes added to my Saiga when I sent it to him for the conversion. Very happy with it. The reason I got it was because of an altercation I had many years ago. Long story short - I had to exit the front door of my apartment to stop a half dozen scum from starting a fight with a couple buddies of mine who were outside. I racked the slide on my 12 gauge to get their attention as I came out the door - but then after the initial calming effect one of the thugs gave me some lip and looked like he was going to advance on me. I was able to get him to back up but wished I had something to split the difference between mere words and a blast of 00 buck to his face. I think the Shark brake would have been ideal to have wordlessly handled the situation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mindfork 0 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I'm not sure about reduced recoil, but I do notice less muzzle climb with the shark brake. Buckshot patterns fine. Haven't tested birdshot yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getitat 609 Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Devils advocate: You mean you shot this victim who was trespassing on your property when you could have just poked him with your barrel? Why didn't you 'choose' the less lethal option that you had at your disposal? Are you just bloodthirsty? "Well, yes, your Honor. I shot him because I live in the great state of Texas, which has granted it's citizens who are allowed to protect their self, family and property with firearms the protection afforded by the "Castle Doctrine"." "Therefore, not only am I not answering any more questions, I am not actually even here, since the Grand Jury saw no cause to bill me for any crime, and there is insufficient grounds to charge me with anything". "So, your Honor, shove it up 'yer ass. With all due respect, of course...." Respectfully posted, guido2 in Houston Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a little plastic cap for mine, works great. What he said... You can use a film canister with a little a little padding on the inside (paper towel or elec tape) if you can't find something to just snap right on there. I use an old scope cap for the Tromix rifle brake on my .223. Edited November 1, 2007 by Cobra 76 two Quote Link to post Share on other sites
