10 Best 300 Blk Muzzle Device (2022 Updated)

My beagles and I regularly go hiking and I have them off leash. I had been using Amazon electric collars to beep/ vibrate them when wandering. However, those collars were not always reliable thus I searched for collars with more consistency and range power.

I looked for weeks and read many articles/reviews. Results clearly indicated Sportdog was one of the best products. I finally decided to invest my money and see where it would take us. Initially, the product was great after I read the directions and synced the collar.

I did not like that there is a small button on the back that must be pushed to adjust shock intensity. I am a 105 women so you can imagine my fingers are small. I had to carry around a toothpick in my pocket so that small button could be pushed.

It was annoying, but not a deal breaker for the product. I continued to use Sportdog on a few other hikes and all wad relatively well. I noticed my beagle only responded to level 7 shocks which I thought was odd.

Also, the beep was pretty faint sounding which wasn’t great, but again not a deal breaker. One day I went to use Sportdog for a longer hike and made sure it was charged. I decided to use the provided lanyard, but noticed there was NO clip to hook them together.

There happened to be an elastic tie at the end so I TRIPLE tied a knot to secure it together. Again, it was inconvenient but I managed. On our hike, my dog was responding well to the collar until he suddenly took off.

I had to find my toothpick to switch gears as quick as I could to reign him in. Usually when he gets shocked at a higher level he will yelp/cry. I knew the collar could not be working as I never heard him.

I waited and waited and he thankfully returned. The first thing I did was check his collar to make sure it was tight and it still was. I watched the green light flick so I knew it was still on. I turned it off and then back on to be sure.

I tried a vibration feature and noticed it wasn’t working. I worked up through all seven levels of shock stimulates and my beagle NEVER flinched (he was standing 5-10 feet away). I knew the collar had stopped working and there was no explanation why.

I was walking back to the parking lot and decided I would return the product. I looked down on the lanyard Sportdog provided and noticed the remote wasn’t there. I knew it had to been within the last 50 feet of my walk.

I searched and never found it. I feel I did my best to use this product despite the frustrations. My largest concern was having to push the smallest button on the back of the remote to switch static levels.

It is very inconvenient in a moment of fear and carrying around a toothpick to push that tiny button was quite ridiculous. The lanyard needs a clip such as connecting a leash to a dog collar. It was a great idea, but it was poorly designed and caused me to lose the remote.

I am now out $200 bucks and can’t return the product because the remote slipped off a poorly designed lanyard. I had thought I was investing in a product that would last me years, not two months. I am going back to my $30 dollar Amazon brand because it was just as reliable (if not better) than Sportdog and it was easier to adjust levels at a quicker pace especially when I need it the most.

I’m very disappointed overall.

The 435 X series is really nice and has a small remote control that fits into my hand (I am only 5’4). The XS series is stronger (for large dogs that can be stubborn) and was too much for my need. that’s why I really wanted the X series.

The 825 X is the same as the 425 X except is has a longer distance reach (1/2 mile) but the remote is a little big bigger. Works great. make sure you read the manual for the different settings and understand that this is not a training tool per say but a corrective tool (meaning your dog has to know and understand commands BEFORE using it).

Do NOT use as a punitive tool. The nice thing is this item allows you to choose either tone, vibration, or static mode. 99% of the time I only need to use vibration for my dog to get his attention (he cN get sobfocused on a scent that he doesn’t pay attention to my commands).

He sometimes takes off after a rabbit/wild pig etc. and that’s when I have to use the static mode to quickly get his attention away from his chase. I really like that it is waterproof (my dog swims into ponds and rivers).

some other brands claim to be waterproof but really mean to say water resistant! If it doesn’t show water depth then it is not waterproof. Quality product worth the money.

I was looking for a collar for safety and as a training tool. One year old Bully that occasionally pushes boundaries on our property. For her safety because of other dogs in the area, we do not want her within 4 ft of the property line.

It only took a couple times in different areas on a very low frequency (2) for her to understand the concept. However at times I leave it on her, and this is where my disappointment comes in. The battery in the collar only stays charged foraybe 48 hours.

And that is only activating it 2 or 3 times in that timeframe. I bought this, knowing I was spending a good bit more money then other products expecting an overall better product, both in distance, features and battery life is very important.

This collar fell very short for me. I’m not sure about my exchange options, but I definitely cannot count on this at home much less in the mountains or the beach.

I only give 4 stars because like others, if you have a horse that’s rough on grazing muzzles these may not hold up, especially if used every day over the course of the summer. I only use them intermittently and the horses seem to tolerate them better than the round hole versions.

With those they just look at you and won’t eat, with these it must be a little easier to get the grass in because after they try to get them off when first left out then they go about eating. The only problem I’ve encountered is it rubs 2 if my 3 horses chins raw.

And I’m mean bad raw. I think it’s because they run there face forward and back in the muzzles to get more in, I’ve seen them. Plus, I think the other horse has a smaller mouth. They also almost need a strap of sorts on the top of the muzzle to secure to a halter at the noseband or poll cause they kind of hang off there face awkwardly.

But other than that for lighter use I’d give them a try. For a horse that doesn’t like to destroy thing they may hold up all summer. And the price isn’t that bad either. And the hole is 1-1/4″ x 2″ in case anyone wants to know.

With the 2″ running up and down.

all grazing muzzles can be difficult. IF you atatch this to a WELL FITTED halter and ADD A THROATLATCH and a keeper at the poll and fasten the front where( there is no loop )to the halter, AND cover all velcro straps with duct tape once sized and before use, then this is the best I have tried with me houdini horses.

the grazing hole wears out after 3-4 months, gets too big, but they DO work and can be made to stay on with all the above modifications. I wish they would come with a front strap and a throat latch bbecause of the large sizeuilt in, and have replacement wear plates available for ground contact area, But this is the best so far.

yes, they rub, I don’t use them more than 12 hours out of 24. I buy the large horse size for a normal size horse, bigger seems to rub less. The purposefully too large size may be why I have to add the front straps.

use a breakaway halter.

My horse has had sand colic, and he wears a muzzle year round when in turnout. I’ve trialed almost everything out there. This did not work for my horse as I could not set it up adequately to keep it from coming off his head.

I agree with one other reviewer that it would be nice if the throat latch was exactly that and not placed over the jaw (masseter area) instead. I ordered the separate muzzle and used my own halter with good success.

I actually like this better than the Best Friend muzzle, which is a very good product. That said, the all-in-one product with the halter attached may work for your horse, especially if he has a more delicate head than my boy.

Nice thread protector at a reasonable price. Threads are perfect and it fits nicely. Threads are protected now until I decide what type of suppressor I’m going to go with.

I bought a Bergara Terrain with a muzzle brake. I don’t care for muzzle brakes especially for hunting so I bought this thread protector to replace it. It works fantastic & fits like it was factory installed.

Good quality.

I’m a novice reloader and decided I didn’t want to put a whole lot of money into loading a few hundred rounds year but would like to keep my workstation small and mobile. Having this easy hand trimmer with just a few Pilots to change from one cartridge to another was perfect for my application.

Pilots are tough and calibrated for the cartridge case length. It’s so simple you cannot mess it up your case is trim to the exact length every time. You will still have to measure your overall case length but this school takes the guesswork out of how much to cut.

It’s easy to store away when I do not need it, and small and compact enough to keep it in a little range bag with all of my tools.

There’s a small amount of tolerance that makes you need to push in all directions for an even trim using these. That puts lateral stress on them, and they are prone to break. Good they are cheap, I suppose.

Won’t break if you don’t stress them, but then they cut slightly unevenly.

Never again will I have yo worry about having brass with too long of oal. Works well and worth every penny. On a side note make sure you keep you brass straight when trimming or you could throw out the concintricty of your brass.

This appears to be a good product, though expensive. Reason for 4 stars is I am unsure of its durability, since it is designed to break before the halter does. So far so good, and my girl can be tough on muzzles trying to get them off.

She has been turned out 2 hrs. am and 2 hrs. pm in this muzzle for 2 weeks. She is certainly more comfortable in this than any of her other muzzles and this will be good for her on hot days. There was a little frustration at first due of the small opening but that is what she needs, (tough love!).

This stopped after a hour or so. I attached it to a regular adjustable breakaway halter due to cost. I added a sheepskin fleece nose piece off the “midieval” muzzle I had, and it worked well to protect aganist the tie wraps rubbing.

They do run big. Got the cob/horse and it fit my quarterhorse with room to spare. It would be too big for my welsh pony.

This is a good product, light weight and cool. I have one which I enlarged the hole in order to accustom my horse to wearing a muzzle. In order to see a greater weight loss I decided to buy another muzzle and this time retain the small hole.

Disappointingly, when it arrived the hole was larger than the hole in my first muzzle being the same size that I had made the first one Sadly, no point keeping it so it has been returned and my money refunded.

Flexible Filly grazing muzzle was about 30% cheaper & seems more comfortable than the Green Guard muzzle & LOTS more airy & softer than the black ones. I DID have to use a sharp box cutter to enlarge the hole a bit.

This material is TOUGH but flexible. I attached it to a halter that has fuzzy padding on the nose. Set up is tedious, but once you get it done, daily use is easy.

Watched a few reviews of this product before purchasing and they were all right. this thing is awesome. I’ve SI muzzle devices on all of my AR’s now and switching the Oppressor between them is a breeze.

Drastically reduces concussion but keeps some of the benefits of a brake. Plus it looks really good 👍.

The product is a quality piece. I did have to modify my rail by removing a centimeter on the end to allow for the push and lock action when attaching the Oppressor. I am not new to little required modifications.

In the end it all worked out nicely.

was looking for a good muzzle device for my ZPAP M90 and looked at a few then read some reviews and purchased the JComp v2. it not only looks good on the rifle, it performs it’s job flawlessly. almost no muzzle rise.

able to reaquire targets micro seconds aftr shots. Highly recommend.

The JComp along with an adjustable piston, turned my AKs action into a sewing machine. The impulse is so soft and the brake makes it shoot flat. Used a Viton O ring to eliminate wobble. Had to re zero elevation because the brake is so effective it made it shoot low.

The stock muzzle brake wasn’t the best. This Strike Industries J-Comp gets the job done. Firearm is much more controllable. It’s much easier to stay on target.
