I was just wondering what it did if anything. Or if it was just to look cool. See pic below

I'm not an expert in this area by any means, but my guess would be that it would allow you to press that gadget/extension up against the door hinge or lock that you were trying to "breach" while still allowing the muzzle blast somewhere to go.
 
You dont really need it, We just use Regular 18" Rem 870 4 shot tubes and just keep the muzzle 1" from the door lock/hinge.

Also the rounds we use (concrete ones), you want the muzzle blast to help.
 
Also very handy for those that are stupid enough to try and grab your shotgun barrel.
Lee Hadaway formerly of Scattergun Tec makes a "muzzle guard" for pistols for a similar reason. Apparently police were running into gang bangers that would push the slide back on the cops gun so it wouldn't fire.

YES you do need one for safety if you are going to use it for breaching. Regardless of your intentions, a troop could push the muzzle directly onto the hinge and you could have barrel over preasure.

Also, if you have one, it makes it pretty easy to "aim"... Press and shoot...

Generally "breaching" rounds are made of a compressed material like concrete or more likely copper. This way they turn to powder after defeating teh target with little or no ricochet dangers.

The Fabarm muzzle brake looks pretty close to the device pictured. Of course all the Fabarm pumps have barrels threaded to accept one. most Remingtons are not.
 
I believe the breaching standoff pictured is right from the "Island Built" wedsite, aka DLASK. They make a copy of the Wilson, or whoever came up with the design first.
Its threaded onto the barrel.

Well CF are and been using them overseas and around here without any muzzle device like that. Military ways and Police ways are 2 different things.
 
I heard breaching rounds were made of wax as a binder and lead/iron "dust" so that when the projectile hits, the heavy metal presents enough mass to destroy the lock, but because it basically powder, there are no little flying bits to come back at you. A little wax is just to hold it together until impact.

Are there multiple types? Which are used by LE? Aren't breaching rounds illegal?

CF uses Slugs or the Hatton Round for breaching.

Robert,

Can you confirm if you have actually done breaching with a shotgun slug or Hatton round? I say this because the Hatton round is not a service round, it is not on issue and is not being used overseas. The slug round is to be used to practice the breaching shotgun TTPs and handling but is not the ballistic equivalent of a dedicated breaching round. It is also not authorized for use in any live fire collective training or on operations. If you received training to live fire breach with a slug round, could you please drop me a PM with the details. I have been working on this issue to include the amendments to 381(1) to allow this type of training outside of the shotgun handling drills taught on the urban ops instructors course. In particular we are moving ahead with the purchase of the hatton type round and right now it is in testing to determine the safety template for live fire collective training and the live fire policy. For that matter if any CF member on the board has done collective training breaching with a shotgun slug, could you please drop me a pm. Cheers

From a wiki:

Hatton Round, 50gm of a lead fragment/ high melting point wax. Fired from a 3" Mag shell. Fiber wad and a gas seal.

Would be a good idea to teflon wrap it too.
 
We stock the ICC breachers. They are sintered copper dust. No prohibited, but not particularly cheap either.
