How many are using the thread protector rather than the brake?
Does the thread protector come in the same finish?
Anyone care to put a mic on the end of the barrel for me? Curious as to approx contour of the barrel.
Mine did not ship with a thread protector, only the brake. On my PRC, I had a gunsmith crank me out a matching one, and it's so good that you can't tell it's there. For the Creed, I bought a cheap generic protector that doesn't match.
The PRC and the Creed have different barrel profiles. PRC at the protector barrel junction is .675. Creed is .585
I don't use the brakes at all.
