Re: SWR Spectre 2?
Waiting to see one myself.
I'm not sold on another 200 bucks. I've always been very happy with my Spectre, and cleaning is not a problem.

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
Given how new they are, would any have reached end-users yet? I'm still waiting on my dealer-to-dealer transfer to complete so I can start enjoying the other long wait for the opportunity to give the government my money.

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
They have been available for a while now. My dealer got three in almost two months ago. He is using one for a demo, and I have heard it several times on a P22 and it is excellent. I like the baffle design also. Keeps the tube clean. My Form 4 for one of them was submitted over a month ago.

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
i get visitation with mine in a few weeks. so ill post some video on youtube of it in action.
Re: SWR Spectre 2?
Sweet...looking forward to a video. I submitted my form about a month ago for mine...this will be my first suppressor.
Re: SWR Spectre 2?
I agreed to buy two of the Spectre II's from my dealer and am hoping that he gets them in soon so I can fill out my Form 4's for them. Sure hope they sound sweet since I'm buying two.
I've gotta stop this habit.
Re: SWR Spectre 2?
Here's my review. It's freckin the teets.
If it doesn't splatter, shatter, burst or explode, it's not worth shooting.
Re: SWR Spectre 2?
New to the forum.
i got to visit my Spectre II last night at the dealer. ran fifty rounds of GEM TECH thru it . AWESOME!!!!!
very quiet. I thought i had a couple of FTF on three separate occasions
This is my first suppressor, I'm pretty happy with it .
Sorry, no pics. the wife had the camera

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
I'm not completely in love with the new mount or end cap but I think the sequel is lighter, quieter and easier to clean. That makes it better for me.

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
I just bought one, I will tell you my impressions after Christmas.

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
Here's my $.02
I'm very Impressed!!!!
Built like a brick $hithouse, Its very quiet , there's almost no first round pop, disassembles very easy, machining is beautiful! MSRP is a really good value...
The only con is it didnt hold as tight of a group when compared with the Sparrow-SS and is about an inch longer. Shooting bulk pack Dynapoint from a Walther P-22
I can see the Spectre II being a big big seller for SWR/SilencerCo.
I bought 3 and one will stay in my inventory as a Demo

I'm liking what you guys are saying....I hope my stamp will be in before the end of the year. I've got 3 different hosts to play with once it shows up.

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
I'm debating on sending in my Spectre for the upgrade. The new gen 2 baffles look to be thinner, could someone with calipers take a measurement on the baffle thickness?

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
Got to play with mine Friday. We put a few cans on a P-22 and a GSG 1911.
The Spectre2 sounded great with no FRP. The GSG sound was much much better than the P-22 with all the cans.
I am very happy with mine.

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
I had time to do more shooting with Specter II this weekend & also took it apart to clean it.
Put about 400 rds through it on the Walther P-22 and Ruger MKII, mostly Winchester Dynapoint.
Also ran 120 rds on 8.750" barreled M-16 22 Lr kit on Full Auto....Wow! it jacked the ROF up a bit more than the Sparrow, maybe because of the small expansion chamber?
This can is very quiet but It is a PIA to take apart once You have shot it, or don't wait as long as I did?
It seems that a lot off gas blow by gets in between the O.D. of the baffle and the I.D. of the tube?
I have the baffles in the Ultrasonic cleaner right now and man they are caked with carbon.

^^^. Vid clip of my neighbor (my Class III) shooting my Spectre II on my S&W 2213 pocket pistol. This thing is damn near movie quiet. Vid was taken from about 6-7 ft away with my iPhone, standing on a covered porch (intensifies the noise).
For loudness comparison, the "ping" you hear at the end is a 22 brass hitting the stainless grill after ejection...
We are shooting Winchester Subsonics in the vid. It's actually quieter on pistols (shot 2213 plus a Buck Mark sporting a 4" TacSol Barrel) than on my 10/22 (TacSol SB-X barrel), even when we hold the bolt closed for single shot operation. Amazing can!

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
That video makes me very happy, that's exactly one of my setups I'll be shooting regularly once the dot-gov decides I'm allowed to have my toy. Before I watched it, I was worried about the amplification of a covered patio, I'll be in that situation often, but it appears that's not really any issue at all.

The 2213 is a great host with all the cans I try.

Re: SWR Spectre 2?
Were is the gas blow by getting through ? I was thinking probably between the first baffle and the end cap.Machine Gun Matt wrote:I had time to do more shooting with Specter II this weekend & also took it apart to clean it.

I don't really know, It maybe that what ever lube was used heated up and flowed to the bottom and when cooled it built up. Thats the only thing I can come with.....Have yet to test it again!redtazdog wrote:Were is the gas blow by getting through ?
