Silencerco: "Shut That Gun Up!" Pt 2 by Nutnfancy

PART 2 WITH TECHNICAL DETAILS AND FIRING TESTS: With the introduction of their pistol suppressors, the rimfire "Sparrow" and the centerfire "Osprey" lines, Silencerco has jumped into the suppressor market like a fat lady in a swimming pool; they made a huge splash that no one can ignore. They are a new company but are growing fast. Maybe you can credit the innovative suppressor technology they use. Their Sparrow model features real user-level serviceability without the need to send it back to the factory (that may save you some coin in the long run). Also its external sleeve is the only ATF registered part, making service and parts replacement, if necessary, much easier. As shown in the vid, takedown is indeed fast and easy requiring no tools and this to me is a huge plus (note the innovative sleeve systems that prevents silencer "lockup"). It weighs a respectable 4.7 oz at just over six inches long. Its 40db suppression levels are impressive both dry and wet, and we prove in the video. It looks to be a durable all-around rimfire option for both pistol and rimfire rifle. The Osprey breaks traditional silencer format by an innovative slab sided design which creates more volume and blends into the lines of many handguns well. Some stock sight sets will be usable above the Osprey but I think you would be best served by installing a higher set (like Meprolight adjustables recommended for this). The Osprey is more caliber specific, currently made for 9mm, .40, and .45 calibers. Larger sizes can be adapted down to the smaller diameter sizes by swap out of the piston ($75 retail). In fact, CEO Josh says a larger caliber suppressor is often more effective when "subbed" down like this. Other cool features of the 6061 T6 aluminum Osprey: 9mm version only weighs 9.5 oz (others 11 oz), shallow striking serrations milled into bore cap, easier integration in holster systems, camlock system allows easy centering to weapon, integrated Nielson device ensures reliability (standard with most other designs too), about 8 inches long (shorter in 9mm version), and the suppressors are lifetime warranted. All this is cool and special (and apparently expensive) but the real standards of measure are sound suppression effectiveness, durability, and low maintenance over time for the owner. Shooting the Osprey both dry and wet proves that their claimed 132db/123db sound reduction is accurate (in fact we achieved about 130 in dry testing shown). And a detail strip and component explanation by Josh (Part 2) seems to support their durability claims. Silencerco is a busy operation and their R&D is never at rest; expect to see some innovative rifle suppressors coming out as well. Of course TNPrs may be distracted by pretty receptionist "Brea" but the suppressor performance and unique construction is what will hold their interest in this Nutnfancy factory review. There are other great manufacturers of suppressors out there with great technologies and high value. Silencerco brings high quality levels and new ways of thinking to the suppression problem. /////////// Thanks to the Silencerco team and PFIDude who came along. /////////////// Music: www.torley.com

Whos the girl at the beginning and at the end?

[nutnfancy]

@TheGuyWithAWeirdName That is Bree, at Silencerco. She is their office manager. -- Veri

[realefancy]

i never knew you shot with your fingure on the trigger gaurd... i used to do that and i couldnt hit the broad side of the barn, learned to shott with my fingure off that, im not that bad of a shot now

[Thestealthfighterguy]

@Rawrgoaway One thing not said here is how a sound wave works. A 300 win-mag makes about the same DB's as a 308, but the sound wave from a 300 is longer than the 308 so the 308 "sounds" quieter. A good suppressors makes a short sound wave. Think "thud" not Kaaabbbooomm! Even if you can hear the sound it is harder to tell where it came from. But don't mistake a short wave for a short sound though. The "thud" sounds longer to your ear.

P.S. After hearing the .22 I want one! TSFG

[Rawrgoaway]

i noticed that when firing the .22 unsilenced, even though it got a 156 average, it still seemed less loud than the first gun tested that got 142 average, which seemed like it had more of a lasting boom to it.

[TinySNIP3R]

@Rougewolf he better stop by the booth lol

[infdecoy]

@jeremypeck92 they showed the .22 ammo as standard velocity, not sure about the .40 & .45acp but they did state something to the effect that sub sonic ammo wasnt necessary or is not what the test with..something like that...i would re watch to confirm but im too lazy at the moment haha...either way another great vid and another great American manufacturer

[jacuzz4]

Excellent, your humor makes your videos stand out. Keep up the good work.

[Rougewolf]

@TinySNIP3R Why hes probably going to SHOT 2012 lol

[JMJ3rd]

Outstanding! Thanks!
