There are so many different types of brakes on the market a person can get confused very quickly.
I guess everyone has their preferences as to which one works the best, but I tend to stick with KDF styles of brakes.
I don't know of any barrel makers who thread the muzzle for brakes due to the variety of threads that are used by various manufacturers.
Threading the muzzle is usually reserved to whomever installs the device.
KDF has authorized installers around the country so you can contact them and find out who is closest to you, check out local smiths to inquire about other styles of brakes (cost & installation fees), and ask to see an example of the work before you agree to the installation.
The last thing you need is to have someone run a die over the end of your barrel and slap on a brake instead of threading it properly.
