SSS.6.62 - SilencerCo Omega 9K and the Q mini FIX 300 BLK Subsonic (Free Version)

The SilencerCo Omega 9K is a compact 9mm pistol silencer that is relatively versatile in potential application and durable enough for hard use. Although rated for automatic use with both supersonic and subsonic 300 BLK on barrels greater than or equal to 8 inches in length, its sound suppression performance on these platforms may be lower than that of dedicated 30 caliber silencers or longer over-bored 9mm pistol silencers.

SSS.6.50 - CGS Hyperion K and the Q mini FIX 300 BLK Subsonic (Free Version)

The CGS Hyperion K is a compact 30 caliber rifle silencer that possesses competitive sound signature suppression performance in the supersonic flow regime with many silencers on the market, especially for its size. Notably, the Hyperion K produces significantly reduced back pressure and respectable subsonic suppression performance; the combination of which is atypical. The silencer weighs 10.4 ounces, making it one of the lightest .30 silencers on the market.

The sound suppression performance variation, across different flow regimes, is more pronounced with silencers possessing high flow rate (low back pressure) characteristics, like the Hyperion K. How would the Hyperion K perform on your personal defense weapon?

SSS.6.46 - Surefire SOCOM762-RC2 and the Q mini FIX 300 BLK Subsonic (Free Version)

The Surefire SOCOM762-RC2 is a full-size 30 caliber machine gun rated rifle silencer that possesses competitive sound signature suppression performance in the supersonic flow regime with many silencers on the market, while also possessing significantly reduced back pressure. Due to this reduction in back pressure, the subsonic suppression performance of the SOCOM762-RC2 suffers. However, its length, along with its type and quantity of baffles, enable it to achieve subsonic suppression performance similar to that of many compact to mid-size .30 rifle silencers on the current market.

The sound suppression performance variation, across different flow regimes, is more pronounced with silencers possessing high flow rate (low back pressure) characteristics, like the SOCOM762-RC2. How would the SOCOM762-RC2 perform on your personal defense weapon?

SSS.6.45 - OSS HX-QD 762 and the Q mini FIX 300 BLK Subsonic (Free Version)

The OSS HX-QD 762 is a mid-size, relatively heavy, and durable .30 rifle silencer that exhibits class-leading back pressure reduction with a notable balance of sound signature suppression performance in the supersonic flow regime, but relatively inefficient sound signature suppression performance in the subsonic flow regime.

Users should note that most silencers exhibit significantly different sound suppression characteristics in different flow velocity and pressure regimes, i.e. when suppressing supersonic vs. subsonic cartridges. This sound suppression performance variation, across different flow regimes, is more pronounced with silencers possessing high flow rate (low back pressure) characteristics, like the HX-QD 762. How would the HX-QD 762 perform on your personal defense weapon?
