Not really, though it does help with the recoil. Mine came with a muzzle thread protector in the box (along with a manual, lock, etc.) so you could remove the brake and shoot without. The brake does not use a crush washer, making it easy to change out. I don't know if that thread protector/cap normally ships or if it was just luck.
