HORIZON 1 Port or 2 Port Brake?

Every [LIMITED] suppressor ships ready to run a brake, and TENET builds two: the HORIZON 1 Port and the HORIZON 2 Port. They're not just two sizes of the same part — they trade off recoil reduction against blast at the shooter's ear in genuinely different ways. Here's how to think about which one belongs on your rifle.

Start With What They Actually Do

The HORIZON system exists to work with your suppressor, not around it. TENET didn't design a brake first and bolt a can behind it — the brake geometry, venting, and chamber angles were built specifically to extend the same recoil-management technology inside the [LIMITED] series, so the brake and suppressor function as one system rather than two competing parts.

Both brakes come with a level and a jam nut in the box, both index and lock in place, and both thread onto the same [LIMITED] suppressors. The difference comes down to how much venting they do — and what that venting costs you.

HORIZON 1 Port

• Weight added: 1.1 oz
• Length added: 0.9"
• Sound at shooter's ear: +8 dB
• Price: $299.99

The 1 Port is the balance option. TENET built it to sit between raw recoil reduction and brake concussion — enough venting to meaningfully flatten muzzle rise without pushing blast at your ear into uncomfortable territory. It's the pick TENET points toward for lightweight hunting rigs and precision setups where you still want the gun to feel civilized on the shoulder and in the ear.

HORIZON 2 Port

• Weight added: 1.8 oz
• Length added: 1.4"
• Sound at shooter's ear: +9 dB
• Price: $349.99

The 2 Port is the aggressive option — the most recoil mitigation TENET offers anywhere in the lineup. It's purpose-built for magnum cartridges and shooters who are chasing every last bit of shot control, even if that means carrying a bit more weight and length on the end of the barrel and accepting a bit more concussion.

Independent test data backs up how far that recoil advantage goes: in third-party testing of the [LIMITED 30], the bare suppressor came in around 22.2 recoil average and 145.3 dB, while the same can with the 2 Port brake dropped recoil to roughly 21.9 with only a modest bump in sound — putting it, at under 9 ounces total, ahead of nearly every other configuration tested for recoil reduction at that weight class.

Can't Decide? Get Both

TENET also sells the HORIZON Combo, which bundles both brakes together, so you're not locked into one at the time of purchase. That's the pragmatic move if you split time between a lighter hunting caliber and something with more recoil to tame, or if you simply want to test both before committing to what stays mounted long-term.

The Quick Answer

• Want the flattest-shooting setup that's still comfortable to shoot without hearing protection nearby → HORIZON 1 Port
• Running a magnum cartridge, or want the single most aggressive recoil reduction TENET offers → HORIZON 2 Port
• Not sure yet, or want to run both calibers/setups → HORIZON Combo (both brakes)

One universal note regardless of which you choose: brakes add sound at the shooter's ear, not downrange — so if hearing-safe operation without ear protection is your top priority, running the [LIMITED] suppressor bare, with no brake, is still the quietest configuration TENET offers.

Both brakes are available now at TENET.INC, sold separately or bundled with any [LIMITED] suppressor at checkout.
