Due to the responses that was recieved on The subject on a muzzle brake on a 7TCU some people got upset with the answers that were received.
Let me clarify my statements on the subject. 
1.. A brake is not needed on a 7TCU.
2.  Do I think I am some kind of he man.  No.
3.  In the first post Barnabus made on the subject I did try to explain that recoil is not handled by phyiscal strenght alone but by mental strenght.  Anyone that has shot any of the heavy recoilers know this is the truth and I tried to explain it in my limited way.
4.  I am not a typing genuis and it is hard to expalin in typing what I mean and it was in no way meant to be condecending or rude.
5.  Should he get what he wants?  Yes, I explained it in my first post on his second thread on the subject.  It is his dime not mine or anyone elses so let him get waht he wants.
6.  I am not going to empower anyone to be afraid of recoil because of my own fears of it for such a long time starting when my Granddad and uncle scared me with a Savage Fox Model B in 16 gauge when I was a young boy.
7.  On his post about finger pinch on a contender I gave his some info on the way Gary Reeder recommends holding one if he cared to wade through the muck that is on Reeder site.  All he had to do was ask Reeder and he would have expalined that to him.  I have used a similar hold for years before I really knew about Reeder and his guns.
8.  Do I regret even anwering any of his posts?  Yes I do as all Barnabus wanted was someone to agree with him.  I don't.
He knew what he wanted to begin with so why ask.
9.  If he is so scared of a 7TCU how would he ever move up to something with even more recoil?
10.  I tried to answer his post honestly and directly.  Not trying to handle him with kid gloves on.

After thinking it over I regret answering his posts on this subject and the finger pinch problem because it becomes a stomping ground for people who are trying to foster fear of guns with recoil which makes as much sense and giving a fifth of whiskey to a recovering alcoholic.

To everyone I apologize for the whole mess.

I would not get to worked up over it, we all have our opinions and sometimes we all just don't or can't agree. That is fine also, If I listened to some people here, I would only have a 30-30 rifle and a 44 Mag handgun for hunting. Frankly I don't see a need to apologize.
