How much more advancement could a pistol silencer get beyond the new Octane 45 HD? It already has all SS baffles, but only Al-6061 tubes. I understand the reasoning since the tube is protected by the "hybrid monocore" design of the CTA baffles. But it's still not built like a tank like the Mystic, which supports some full power rifle rounds, and is auto rated for more calibers.
The only "ultimate" future pistol can I can think of would be a monocore design, with protective clamshells like the Sparrow has. That design wouldn't be cheap on a 45acp sized can though.
Love my Tirant 45, but considering buying an Octane 45 soon while the gettin' is still good. Wouldn't be making this decision so soon since I just got the Tirant this year. But thanks to recent lawmaking proposals regarding Trusts, got no choice but to get the ball rolling on some future planned purchases...*cough*... 300-TM

Remember its only been a couple years since the introduction of a the first truly hearing safe 45ACP can on the market.rimshaker wrote:How much more advancement could a pistol silencer get beyond the new Octane 45 HD?

Wasn't but a few years ago that the Evo45 was the king and people asked the same question.....
There is ALWAYS room for advancement, in time the Octane45 will be a thing of the past, just like every silencer before it.

Yeah right about the time I get approved for my 2 octane 45's they'll be something way better that comes out...
But then I'll have a good reason to buy more cans.

Yes, totally understand. That's why I'm trying to think in terms of materiels and core design.Bendersquint wrote: Remember its only been a couple years since the introduction of a the first truly hearing safe 45ACP can on the market.

What's beyond hardened 17-4 stainless? What's possible beyond a mono core? How can it get better than CTA baffles?
Can silencer technology reach a high plateau, much like desktop computers have the past several years?
Technology can only go so far in any field. Physics and nature will always win out at some point.
