The venom is no where near as bad as the M4-72.Before I even started reading what you wrote under that pic, I cringed thinking, "Oooooh that looks loud!"

It's 9mm. What recoil could you be talking about? It's a pistol caliber!! My daughter (she's small) shoots 9mm all day.
This depends heavily on the format and operating system. A delayed blowback pistol, yeah, it's not going to matter very much, hence why people are running comps and not brakes on their handguns. Ditto for stuff like the MP5, MPX, and CMMG MkG.1. 9x19 rifles has negligible recoil
But if you've got a blowback gun, that heavy bolt is slamming backwards and creating some non-trivial recoil.

Great input!A muzzle brake on semi-auto 9mm rifle is tacticool only. There is so little residual pressure and gas volume at the muzzle that any braking action is negligible.
I was the managing partner of a startup gun company for over three years (and one of the designers of the pistol-caliber carbine we built and sold) and our straight-blowback, 9mm model was our best seller and best performer. We initially did NOT offer barrels threaded for muzzle brakes, but there were so many requests for threaded barrels that we began making them standard on every carbine we sold (where not prohibited). We even designed a couple of muzzle brakes for those who wanted them, but I can tell you unequivocally, those brakes did NOTHING to tame what was already very mild felt recoil.
As for so-called muzzle brakes that incidentally have a sound dampening effect, They might well be worth looking into. But by the time that 9mm round gets to the end of a standard 16-inch or longer barrel, there isn't much propellant gas pressure or volume for a muzzle brake to work with.
