Is that a break, or a comp?Are there slots on the opposite side?
Could someone help out the clueless among us (and it's possible the the "clueless" includes only one, me), what is the difference between a brake and a comp? What does one do that the other does not?
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Comp-Directs gases upwards to reduce muzzle jump. Operates on the principle of for every action (gases being directed upwards by the comp) there is an equal and opposite reaction (the muzzle being pushed downwards).
Brakes-"Softens" the recoil. Its designed to take the "snap" or "bite" out of the recoil, and make it more of push.
These new brakes are designed to be more of a brake, but also function as a comp by directing the gases upwards.

Maybe a question for EWK but has anyone ever polished the stainless brake?

You have inspired me.
A quick adjustment using sandpaper, a wire (stainless) bore brush and a rescue (green) pad.
It's just a start, but it's getting there. Carppy cell phone pics. It looks better than these pics show.
I tried a brushed finish and it actually looks pretty good. 5 minutes work. Gotta go back and spend another 5 on it to get it really good.

Thanks for posting all the pictures, they look great!
Sure, as Mike has shown, it doesn't take too much to polish it....to get it perfect, a couple things-You have to careful not to "washout" the ports. What works best is polishing cloth/emery cloth-keep it tight as you go around it, and you won't have to worry about washout on the ports. Get a barrel tube and carefully clamp it in a vise so you can easily go around the brake, and it will work great to get all the matte finish off and the machining marks. I'd recommend 180-220 grit...it will load up kind of fast, but you don't have to worry about taking too much off, and you don't need to buy several different grits.

Any reason not to use the muzzle brake on a 357 SuperMag?

Ok finally got to spend some time in the shop, took about 20 minutes. I ran a bolt through it and put it in the drill press. Set it at 560RPM used wet 220 then wet 500. Turned out good could not find the polishing compound.
