SSS.6.174 - B&T Station SIX 9 with B&T SIX 9 Wiped and Training Silencers (Free Version)

The B&T Station SIX 9 is a bolt-action pistol that includes a wiped silencer.  The overall package is compact, may be used discretely in both spent casing ejection and overall signature, and modified to break-down to a very compact configuration through grip modification.  The U.S. version of the pistol has a non-ported barrel that is threaded 1/2”-28tpi and may be used with direct-thread silencers of users’ choosing.  While the gross sound suppression performance of the included wiped SIX 9 silencer is not extremely high, it does significantly suppress the system when compared to an unsuppressed gunshot, particularly for its size.  As the silencer wipes are consumable parts, B&T also offers a separate Training silencer of identical dimensions.  The performance of the SIX 9 Training silencer is somewhat similar to that of the wiped SIX 9 silencer, though lower.

In this review, the B&T Station SIX 9 wiped and Training silencer performance metrics depend upon suppressing a bolt-action handgun firing a full-power subsonic centerfire pistol cartridge. How would the B&T Station SIX 9 silencers perform during your operation and training?
