Does muzzle brake affect accuracy?

There is some debate on whether or not muzzle brakes affect accuracy, with some people believing that they do and others asserting that they don’t. The reality is that it probably depends on the particular firearm and brake in question. Some muzzle brakes might indeed affect accuracy negatively, while others might have no noticeable impact.

That being said, muzzle brakes can be beneficial in reducing felt recoil and helping to keep the muzzle down, which can both contribute to increased accuracy. So if you’re considering adding a muzzle brake to your firearm, it’s worth doing some research on which specific models might be best suited for your needs.
