Thread protector limitations for CO barrel?

[thegeneric]

What are your thoughts on the legality of an oversized thread protector made of brass (that wouldn't extend past the muzzle)?

 

The train of thought is that any additional weight on that specific spot would help tame muzzle flip.

 

And yes, I understand that if probably would make a negligible difference, "if you have a proper grip, you don't need gizmos", etc. but my curiosity still stands.

 

Thanks for any guidance in advance.

It’s just a thread protector, the post is there for grip when tightening, just like knurling. 
 

Had the same idea awhile back when threaded barrels became legal. Kept wondering if thread protectors were even allowed, if they are, when would the OD eventually have rules.

Neat,is that a TF sight tracker? Is that your CO gun?

I would say that Pandora’s box has been open.

I posed this same question here many years ago, as a way to add weight to my Glock.  Back then, it was unlikely that someone would make a gamer brass thread protector, so I was asking about the tiny benefit of a steel thread protector.  But now, I can easily see someone making a 1/2" thick thread protector the diameter of an average slide.  I'm kinda doubting it would be much of an advantage though.  People would would buy it to find out though.
