A boon to those in close-quarters shooting environments, or hunters venturing afield, the Sharps Bros Badlands integrated muzzle brake and blast deflector directs expanding propellant gases in a way that reduces felt recoil while also steering its report away from the shooter and minimizing flash.

Constructed of high-strength 17-4 stainless steel, the Badlands is uniquely printed as a monolithic unit with an internal, multi-port radial compensator surrounded by blast-diverting ribs.

The 3D-printed muzzle device is heat-treated and nitrided for durability. A 35 mm hexagonal base provides wrench flats for installation while the internal diameter allows use for a range of calibers up to 0.354".

Two thread options are available: 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 TPI. MSRP is $137.
