[ARCHIVED THREAD] - First suppressor

Posted: 10/19/2011 8:06:42 PM EDT

Finally got my first suppressor - Outback II. Form 4 came back at the beginning of October (5 month 1 week wait) then off to Gemtech for the IID upgrade to make it user serviceable (can was $260, upgrade was $20 because the suppressor was new and unfired). Took it out to shoot it and function was 100% with minimal POI shift. I used CCI Std velocity ammo for the first time out. Cycling was perfect and noise suppression was incredible. There was no first round pop and very little if any noise when fired. The loudest part of shooting it was the hammer dropping and action cycling. I was very impressed. I ran 100 rounds through it then had to pack up. I will be picking up a 5.56 can next spring - will be getting an AAC M4-2000 or Gemtech G5 - still debating that one. I am surprised how much fun shooting suppressed is.
