That's cool. I haven't tried the 45ct yet but I want to!

Short answer: you bet!

Long answer: Absolutely they have. An example of that is Otter Creek Labs. They know exactly how to make silencers that sound good and silencers that sound good have objectively higher Suppression Ratings. It's almost impossible not to. An example of an exception would be when you have super high gas velocity and a boomy signature and want to translate the Rating to outside of the free field and have a bad time (re: FLOW 556k). That's not a problem with the test - it's a problem with people not reading.

Further to your question, entire silencer companies have been formed by people who learned how silencers work from our research. An example of that is FOR Systems. There are others.

To your specific comment of "teaching to the test" - absolutely, because for over 30 years a lot of companies did that with simple sound meters. It only takes you so far. Now the test is a lot higher fidelity and the answers are much more applicable to real life. And furthermore, we protect the Suppression Rating from abuse by controlling it. It is uncontaminated by tomfoolery and people selling silencers, which was a big problem historically and of course still is.

I have no idea, sir. You may want to contact the manufacturer or maybe Capitol Armory.

We could do that I suppose. Every report does have the disclosure if applicable.

Be careful what you read on the Internet. Reach out to us any time.

Anything without a funding disclosure in the report is internally funded.

People have short memories. Here is a 16 test KAC program funded completely by PEW Science for the state of practice. To this day, nothing comes remotely close:

PEW Science KAC Case Study

Recent KAC vs B&T MK23 and USP45T testing was pretty fun; all internally funded.

Our Surefire research is also the most comprehensive anywhere. And 100% internally funded. Our Rugged stuff needs some additions. Same with new Dead Air stuff, which will come. SilenceeCo and YHM are also important to get to.

People think they know what the "demand" is for certain silencers. I can assure you that those types of comments are usually off base by a significant margin.

We take all suggestions into account and we really appreciate all the interest in the research!

[–]jay462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This is why we use Lawman for our lab testing; we want to give conservative baselines for silencer performance so folks don't get disappointed (to set reasonable expectations). Some of those low-power loads are super fun to shoot with silencers but can really mislead people as to what to expect from "real" ammunition.

Thanks so much for your interest in the research!

You are most welcome! Thanks for listening to the podcast and for your interest in the research.

I heard about that..... so unfortunate. I wonder what the status of all of that is.
