muzzle brake

[opr1945]

I saw a muzzle brake on a ruger 22/45. I can find them for sale for ruger 10/22 rifles. will the brake from the rifle fit on the mark III 22/45?

If not where do I get one for the 22/45?

thanks.

Learned that 10/22 rifle thread is 1/2 x 28. Anyone know what thread is on Mark III 22/45?

thanks again.

Im almost positive that the standard thread will be 1/2-28. Thats the standard for .22's and .22 silencers.

found an old press release from ruger about the new 22/45 pistols. says threads are 1/2 x 28.

Ruger Introduces 22/45 Pistols with Threaded Barrels
January 20, 2011
Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR), announces two new 22/45™ rimfire pistol models with threaded barrels. These new models allow owners to attach an assortment of muzzle accessories to one of America's favorite rimfire handguns, the popular Ruger 22/45RP rimfire pistol.

Both models feature a 4.5 inch, factory 1/2-28 thread barrel, which accepts many popular muzzle accessories. When not using a special application attachment, the threaded barrel and barrel crown are protected by a muzzle cap.

so seems like rifle brakes should fit.

OoC, is there actually a benefit to putting a brake on a 22? Or is it purely cosmetic/aesthetic?
