New can from Silencerco - The .45 Osprey
SIlencerco has a new .45 silencer in the works. The Osprey is rumored to be hearing safe when shot dry. The only others I know of that can claim to be hearing safe dry are the new AAC Ti-Rant .45 and the Knights Armament MK23 “SOCOM” but only when it is on an H&K Mark 23. At some point I hope to get a chance to shoot an Osprey side by side with a Ti-Rant, the hard part is finding either right now. .45 ACP is a very difficult caliber to silence due to the large exit hole and that the .45 is just plain loud. Because of this, most .45 suppressors must be shot “wet” with some sort of ablative medium in them (usually water, oil, or grease) to cool and slow the expanding gases.
Just a note for those who aren’t familiar with the laws. Silencers, machine guns, etc. are legal in all but a handful of states. There is a small amount of paperwork followed by an extensive background check before one can be purchased. People who legally own NFA items are among the most (if not THE most) law-abiding citizens in the country.
