Ok I got out today to test 3 different cans: silencerco hybrid, silencerco omega and the Oss elite. All were shot using m193 ball through a bcm 11.5" upper with Jp silent capture spring. I'll just give averages at this point, when I get more organized and can detail everything out I will, I took the measurements in 3 spots and all were 5 shot groups. 1 meter left of bore, shooters right and left ears, with the Larson Davis lxt1-qpr C weighted.

Base line was: 2 shots 169.7 and 170

Oss elite:
1 meter left: 140.64 avg.
Shooters right ear: 137.36 avg.
Shooters left ear: 138.18 avg.

Sico omega with 5.56 end cap:
1 meter left: 142.18 avg.
Shooters right ear: 139.58 avg.
Shooters left ear: 136.8 avg.

Sico hybrid 5.56 end cap:
1 meter left: 141.78 avg.
Shooters right ear: 138.34 avg.
Shooters left ear: 136.18 avg.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

I was considering moving my Saker K to my 14.5" upper and the Hybrid will go on my 10.5" and my .308's... Your tests seem to confirm that as a good idea.

I'm surprised that all 3 gave readings below the 140 dB threshold at the ear with a short upper. I'm guessing part of that is the JP silent capture spring reducing spring/action noise right at the shooter's ear?

I think the Hybrid has some really good volume which likely helped.

OP, how was the tone?

I thought all 3 had a decent tone, kind of deep sounded good. I don't think the tone on any of those 3 were any better or worse than the other.

For all the negativity , I'm always mores see with how well OSS meters and sounds in actual use.
