My Sparrow takes the bite out of the pistol, but not hearing safe (imo). My Mystic, although big, cycles fine and is hearing safe. Have not tried my Osprey yet.

I have the AAC Ti Rant 45 and its really quiet and when you shoot it wet its scary quiet, I thought it would be front heavy but with a full mag it evens out and the tall Heine tactical night sights aiming isn't a problem. I've heard cap guns that are twice as loud. I love it and use it on my HK 45c and vector super v cqb.

I have a Thunderbeast 22-L1. I've only used SS195LF so far. The suppression was fantastic. Most of the noise I heard was coming from round hitting the target. Only firing this from my FiveseveN pistol though I felt unacceptable amounts of blowback. I'd give this a 3 for the sound but a 0 for the blowback. I'm considering a 9mm suppressor or perhaps larger.

Cool thank you for the feed back since it's pretty much impossible for one person to have every can out there just for testing.

Has anyone tried an AAC Element 2 on a FSN pistol?

Hey guys whats the best can for the ps90 SBR for quick detach mount?

For quick detach stuff, Gemtech G5 is pretty good. They also sell the flash hider mate for the PS90

FINALLY got my new suppressor, an Elite Iron Echo for the 5.7. (Which they've apparently discontinued?)
Using subsonic ammo (3.4gr HS-6, 55gr FMJ), it is quieter than my Gemtech. GT was about like a loud paintball gun but still kinda wanted hearing protection. Last night I fired 20rd through the Echo & I don't think it's loud enough to worry about.
I did not try any factory ammo but with supersonic rounds one will likely need to use ear plugs anyway.
Also, the diameter of the suppressor is smaller than I realized. Looking down the sights, I don't notice the suppressor at all; the slide completely obscures it. I'd score it at a 4

It is heavy when compared to the GT & even when compared to the FsN itself.
BATFE wait time: 7 months.

EDIT: Had a friend with the electronic ear muffs on, they didn't activate when I fired subsonics through the Echo.

Based on yer "7 month" info, GONRA's expecting Gemtech around May.
Interested in your handload! What brass & primer did you use?

Intention was to use the ORIGINAL EA brass - "drastically reduced case capacity"
but am accumlating data needed to blast away when it arrries.
THANX!

Factory brass & Winchester Small Rifle primers.

GONRA received GEMTECH. About 10 months 3 weeks BATF wait tyme. Guesss I'm "Special"?
Hope to blast away next week. Have Fun Fellas.....

Sweet!

GONRA’s first shootin’ with suppressor.
Following setup was a HUGE SUCCESS.
5.7x28mm FN Five-seveN® pistol 20 rd. mag, Viridian Universal Mount Green Laser.
Sights / laser were setup / adjusted with FN’s original barrel.
Try to beat this setup fellas.....

Today used (first time) EA 20 lb. recoil spring and threaded FiveSeveN EFK Fire Dragon barrel
GEMTECH SFN-57 suppressor with 10x1mm metric RH threads.

Shot 5 rounds new factory FNB 14 ammo. Had other shooters shoot 2 more 5 rd. strings
so I could try to figger out where fired cases went and listen to “supersonic suppressed noise”.
STRONG EJECTION, FLAT PRIMERS, MUCH QUIETER.
Found 8 fired cases (looked Just Fine) – remainder are in somewhere in “weed heaven”
after bouncing off sheet metal corrugated roof.

This rough “3 (experienced) shooters 25 yard test” had nice overlapping groups. Maybe 8 inches.
We noted how easy it is (obvious sights, nice trigger pull, no real recoil) to blast away with this setup.

Really pleased, fun to shoot, etc.
Plan on loading up subsonic ammo next, after cleaning up a couple other Pointless Retired Man gun projects.

When I shot my PS90, I put (150) rounds through it. And I did not need hearing protection at all! It sounded like a .22LR rifle.
I was using American Eagle I’m sure this is why it was so quiet!

Moving to using my Five SeveN and it’s very loud.

So, I know this is an old thread, but Jay wolf brought it up on Facebook, so I figured I would add to it. I bought an Innovative Arms Slingshot TI to use with my 22's and my FiveseveN.

I would add a rating based on the original scale at a 3.

It is quiet with a deep tone. The main thing I don't like about it (and 90%+ of all silencers out there) is that it does not allow for direct thread. I spoke with a company called AB Suppressors and they can make their Little Bird with the thread pitch for the FiveseveN, but it is a special run. I bet if we get enough people to ask about it, they might make one available that is direct thread. I have not heard it on a FiveseveN yet, but I have held one. They are very thin and light. It would be interesting to see how they perform. I might get my buddy to take me out and we can try it on mine.

Yeah that is the issue with the small FsN barrels. The original Gemtec SFN-57 was one of the few that direct threaded.

I am interested in the "few" if any that will direct thread on my efk 57 pitch?. Even the new gsl tech has adapter..
