Re: 9mm can

Like I mentioned, the Tirant is uniformly quieter than the Octane over a wider range of ammo loads/brands. Not by a lot, but enough to notice. The K-baffles have the advantage. Also the Tirant's piston housing design is superior. It encases the entire piston/spring, which ultimately muffles the muz...

Re: 9mm can

Ok ok 147 :lol: I could dream of a 247 grain 9mm projectile though :idea:

Are you suggesting that if the other guys Octane sounds good that I should swap end caps to see if that improves the sound of mine? Has there been a design change in end caps?

I will be attending an AR15.COM shoot in a month or so and I will have another 20+ sets of ears. If I'm full of s--t or correct, either way I'll update this thread immediately after. Bonus points!

Re: 9mm can

I guess some people would prefer a more quiet suppressor. Denial of stainless fans? (can this be a new thing?) I shoot Montana Gold TMJ, so no need to shoot lead and no need to clean lead. Carbon which doesn't wipe right off my inferior aluminum baffles is quickly brushed off with a nylon brush. Th...

Re: 9mm can

For the most part I agree. I will say that every ounce and every inch at the end of a pistol makes a difference. I really wonder about those that seem obsessed with the ablity to clean the octane over the TiRant. Are you guys really cleaning your Octane that often? If so, why? I really get a kick o...

Re: 9mm can

Doesn't matter to me what a meter says, if my ears are ringing its too loud. I would suggest that the current Octane owners shoot a TiRant. Ears ringing? I've never had my ears ring and I HAVE shot both. The Octane IS quiet and have owned them since they first came out. The TiRant might be a hair q...

Hey Hyrule, as promised . From a piece of 3/8" HDPE ($1.75 a lbs in scrap sheets) strong but soft. Used Band saw, drill press, sander. Made to use on or off the gun, came up with a way to fit the handle to the end cap so not to get hands dirty with the piston. ( that took some head scratching)...
