The Fortis RED Muzzle Brake in Nitride finish (brand part no. F-RED) stands for Rapid Engagement Device, Fortis’ take on a military-grade muzzle brake that performs as well as it looks. Fortis had the design evaluated by people in the military and law enforcement community, then put it through further testing with members of the 3-gun competition circuit before settling on the final geometry. It has since been tested under sustained, harsh-cycling fire without losing performance, and the current version is compatible with control shields for shooters who run one.
