SSS.6.178 - Otter Creek Labs Infinity and the Savage Model 10 PC .308 (Free Version)

The Otter Creek Labs Infinity is a severe-use mid-size 30 caliber rifle silencer with an advanced but flexible hybrid design.  The silencer is user-configurable for different blast load flow states and allows the operator to adapt the system to a variety of host weapons.  With a high early-time flow rate, the silencer may perform well on semiautomatic platforms even in its most restrictive configuration.  For sensitive platforms, the user may fully vent blast loads from multiple stages of the silencer, lowering back pressure to a minimum for this design.  The Infinity is 3D-printed from Inconel alloy and is expected to offer significant durability for hard use.

In this review, the Otter Creek Labs Infinity performance metrics depend upon suppressing a supersonic centerfire rifle cartridge; no easy task. How would the silencer perform on your .308 deer rifle, with both solid and vented end caps?

SSS.6.174 - B&T Station SIX 9 with B&T SIX 9 Wiped and Training Silencers (Free Version)

The B&T Station SIX 9 is a bolt-action pistol that includes a wiped silencer.  The overall package is compact, may be used discretely in both spent casing ejection and overall signature, and modified to break-down to a very compact configuration through grip modification.  The U.S. version of the pistol has a non-ported barrel that is threaded 1/2”-28tpi and may be used with direct-thread silencers of users’ choosing.  While the gross sound suppression performance of the included wiped SIX 9 silencer is not extremely high, it does significantly suppress the system when compared to an unsuppressed gunshot, particularly for its size.  As the silencer wipes are consumable parts, B&T also offers a separate Training silencer of identical dimensions.  The performance of the SIX 9 Training silencer is somewhat similar to that of the wiped SIX 9 silencer, though lower.

In this review, the B&T Station SIX 9 wiped and Training silencer performance metrics depend upon suppressing a bolt-action handgun firing a full-power subsonic centerfire pistol cartridge. How would the B&T Station SIX 9 silencers perform during your operation and training?
