Anyone know where to find these right now?
I've looked everywhere and can't find them, except for Brownells

Do they work comparably to brakes on barrels?

I'm trying to compensate my 1911 but don't want to shell out for a new threaded barrel and then have to fit it.
 
They do not work.
The compensator hole should only be large enough for the bullet, but on this contraption it has to be large enough to encompass the entire barrel.
This device attaches to the slide, thus increasing reciprocating mass.

It is just a bad idea.

It depends on what you want to do. Do you want to look good (which in itself is a big matter of opinion) or do you want it to work well as a muzzle brake?

It's likely not fair to say that they are totally useless as a brake. But they sure won't be anywhere near as effective. And they bring a bunch of other issues as noted by ivan which a correctly fitted barrel mounted brake does not. Mostly they are about looking good without working all that well. What recoil they do control is very likely due to the added weight instead of any proper gas re-directing.

Buy one of these and have your current barrel threaded.

You'd just need a reverse plug.

I'm trying to convert a commander to 460 Rowland and this is the bit I'm missing.
The added weight I thought would lower slide speed but now I'm really thinking otherwise - I'm going to weld a brake on and heat treat or find a 5" and thread it

My Rowland kit included a barrel with a compensator on it. Yours does not?

Maybe it is an option. Can you contact the seller and trade it for a barrel with a brake?

where'd you get your Rowland kit? Nah, I'm actually trying to do it myself. The Rowland kit is really just a different cut chamber, and a compensated barrel. You have to use their bread with the special thick webs in them.
 
Well i think it helps in muzzle jump but hey maybe thats in my head but i do think it looks cool
My gun my opinion matters most to each their own was like 85 us from Brownells some dremel work and sanding smoothing buffing was required

trade EX has them , 3 port and 4 port, I just got one, fits the barrel nice , a bit loose in the slide, but my slide was fitted to a match bushing, was going to put on a different gun, but just sold it .
I used one years ago on a 1911 I built and seems to help, for 95.oo or so they are very well made.
I have not installed it on my custom norinco as the spring tube has to go down a hair more to clear the lug on the comp, never ran into that before.
The spring tub is a custom, so that may be the problem, and I don't have a standard one.

i cant wrap my head around that.
your paying more than what you'd pay to get a original one imported and you arnt even getting the barrel brake, which in my thinking is pretty important on the 460Rowland.

i was lucky and got mine directly from 460Rowland before they stopped direct exporting.
there is or was another importing gun store that was stocking the original 460 kits, not sure if they still do.
cant say their name here, they are the evil that we speak not of.

and i personally would not shoot a 460Rowland without the brake.
can you?
yes.
is it comfortable?
no.
