It took 4 months and I got my 1st can.
9mm osprey and using sig x5 as host .
Im really impressed how quiet it is.
shot 147s and 115s and dont know if its worth it to buy 147s anymore . The 1st shot is louder with the 115 but after that there is not that much difference
 
Re: GOT IT !

I have the same host, X-5 Tactical, do you get any blow-back? mine has done it with 3 different cans
 
Re: GOT IT !

not with this one, I have multiple hosts, multiple pistol cans and this particular pistol is obnoxious with spitting back in your face. dry, wet it doesnt matter.
 
Re: GOT IT !

I found that the tiny triangle gap on slide is the reason for the extra shit flying back in your face. Take your X5, and point hte barrel empty at a light source, and you'll seen a gap on the left side of the slide.

My P220 spits at me quite a bit, so its gets annoying as fuck after about 20 rounds.

Also, if you flush the handgun with lighter fluid, it doesnt help either. It lifts the fine particles and shit out, but shooting just introduces more back.


Since then, i've been using my M&P, and I dont get crap flying back at me. Not saying the M&P is better than Sig, but for suppression, sig is kinda sitting at the bottom of the ladder.
 
Re: GOT IT !

I have an HK Tactical in 40 and with the Osprey will pelt your face with what feels like shrapnel. Its just a characteristic of the pistols and the short barrels. Almost every pistol can I own spits a little something most of the time.
