SSS.6.190 - Primary Weapons Systems PWS BDE 22 and the Beretta 21A (Free Version)

The PWS BDE 22 is a lightweight rimfire silencer that exhibits extremely competitive suppression performance on short-barrel rimfire systems such as pistols. The silencer’s monocore is 3D-printed from titanium and may be cleaned with a variety of chemical solutions. Weighing approximately 4.2 ounces, the PWS BDE 22 provides users with a high performance option that may be used on a variety of systems while being unobtrusive to handling.

How would the PWS BDE 22 perform on your .22 semiautomatic pistol?

SSS.6.189 - Q Southpaw and the MK18 5.56x45mm Short Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle (Free Version)

The Q Southpaw is a full-size 5.56mm rifle silencer possessing a simple and secure mounting system with construction materials that provide requisite durability for reasonable short barrel rifle use. Similar in overall design pedigree to Q’s other centerfire rifle silencers like the Trash Panda, the Southpaw marks the transition to dedicated 5.56mm bore aperture as well as stainless steel and Inconel alloy construction. As the Southpaw provides more consistent performance on 5.56 weapons than the Trash Panda, and is able to use the same type of mounting system, it offers a “plug and play” option for those users wanting to nominally improve overall suppression performance while enhancing resiliency and potentially even visual signature mitigation.

In this review, the Q Southpaw performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge on a short-barrel gas-operated rifle, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the Q Southpaw perform on your MK18 with a 10.3-in barrel?

SSS.6.188 - Off Grid Suppressors Scorpius and the Beretta 21A (Free Version)

The Off Grid Suppressors Scorpius is a compact and lightweight rimfire silencer that exhibits extremely competitive suppression performance on short-barrel rimfire systems such as pistols. The silencer is 3D-printed from titanium and may be cleaned with a variety of chemical solutions.  At only 5 inches long, and weighing approximately 2.2 ounces, the Off Grid Scorpius demonstrates extremely competitive overall performance not only for its size, but also relative to larger rimfire silencers.

SSS.6.187 - Sylvan Arms SA223TIS and the M4A1 Mid-Gas 5.56x45mm 14.5-in Barrel Automatic AR15 Rifle (Free Version)

The Sylvan Arms SA223TIS is a mid-size 5.56 rifle silencer that possesses a robust mounting system and a lighter weight than some competing designs. Its conventional baffle technology provides suppression performance that competes with models using similar technologies, as expected, and exceeds the performance of some designs. For use on short barrel rifles, the titanium-tube clad SA223TIS possesses a stainless steel blast chamber and baffles, adding some resiliency. The included taper mount with ratcheting retention securely seals; a direct-thread version of the silencer is also available.

In this review, the Sylvan Arms SA223TIS performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge on a commonly fielded gas-operated rifle, which is an incredibly difficult task. How would the Sylvan Arms SA223TIS perform on your M4 with a 14.5-in barrel?

SSS.6.186 - Sylvan Arms SA30TI and the Savage Model 10 PC .308 (Free Version)

The Sylvan Arms SA30TI is a full-size multicaliber rifle silencer that possesses a robust mounting system and a lighter weight than some competing designs. Its conventional baffle technology provides suppression performance that competes with models using similar technologies, as expected, and exceeds the performance of some designs. For use on short barrel rifles, the primarily titanium SA30TI possesses a stainless steel blast chamber and blast baffle, adding some resiliency. The included taper mount with ratcheting retention securely seals; a direct-thread version of the silencer is also available.

In this review, the Sylvan Arms SA30TI performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge; no easy task. How would the silencer perform on your .308 deer rifle?

SSS.6.185 - Otter Creek Labs Infinity and the Q mini FIX 300 BLK Subsonic (Free Version)

The Otter Creek Labs Infinity is a severe-use mid-size 30 caliber rifle silencer with an advanced but flexible hybrid design. The silencer is user-configurable for different blast load flow states and allows the operator to adapt the system to a variety of host weapons. With a high early-time flow rate, the silencer may perform well on semiautomatic platforms even in its most restrictive configuration. For sensitive platforms, the user may fully vent blast loads from multiple stages of the silencer, lowering back pressure to a minimum for this design. With subsonic 300 BLK, the Infinity is able to compete with many conventional silencers, while exhibiting some performance deficiencies in first-round-pop (FRP) control.

How would the Otter Creek Labs Infinity perform on your personal defense weapon?
