Faxon Firearms Muzzlok 9mm Ported Flash Hider Nitride Black
The Faxon Firearms Muzzlok 9mm ported flash hider in nitride black is a field-friendly muzzle device that ditches the crush washer headaches. Designed for shooters who value quick timing and the ability to swap their muzzle brake or flash hider without tools or re-shimming in the field, the Muzzlok system lets you adjust rotational timing using an extension nut—tighten it to 20–25 foot-pounds and you're done. Built for 9mm platforms, it's equally at home on a 5.56 rifle or .350 Legend setup, making it a versatile choice for tactical builds, duty weapons, and hunters working with threaded-barrel pistols or short-barreled rifles.
The nitride black finish delivers a durable, corrosion-resistant coating that handles hard use and weather without fussing. At 2.73 inches tall and 0.878 inches in diameter, the profile balances flash reduction with a compact footprint. The ported design helps manage muzzle rise on semi-auto pistols and lightweight rifles, giving you faster target reacquisition on follow-up shots.
If you run a suppressor-ready rifle or pistol and want a backup flash hider that plays nice with your workflow—or simply prefer a muzzle brake you can remove and reinstall without disassembling your rifle—the Muzzlok system removes a frustrating limitation of traditional crush-washer designs. No need for shims or wrench-work every time you want to swap or service the brake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Muzzlok work with my 9mm pistol or carbine?
Yes. The Muzzlok 9mm is designed for platforms with 1/2-28 threaded barrels, which covers most modern 9mm pistols and AR-9 carbines. It's also compatible with .350 Legend rifles and .22 platforms using the same thread pitch.
Do I need a crush washer or shims to install this muzzle device?
No. The MuzzLok extension-nut system allows you to adjust rotational timing without crush washers or shims. Simply thread it on and tighten to 20–25 foot-pounds using the extension nut for fine rotational adjustment.
Can I remove and reinstall the flash hider in the field?
Yes. Because the Muzzlok eliminates crush washer resistance, you can remove and reinstall the device in the field without tools or re-shimming, making it convenient for testing, cleaning, or swapping to a different muzzle brake.
What does the ported design do?
The ported design reduces muzzle flash and helps manage muzzle rise on semi-automatic platforms, giving you faster target reacquisition and a more controllable shooting experience, especially on lightweight rifles or high-recoil cartridges.
