Shot a night match last weekend, we did some apples to oranges comparisons at the end between an AR with a 11.5" barrel(w/ Adj GB) with an RC2, a 12.5" with a Mini and a 10.3" with an RC3. To me, the RC2 was the quietest, the other two sounded very similar.

[@TheJaySituation]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@bigfootflyxr6160]

I also found that my RC3 and Mini 2 have a similar tone at the ear on 10.3 and 11.5. RC2 sounds more like a suppressed 556, Mini 2 & RC3 sound like a quieter unsuppressed 556 shot.

I really enjoy listening and learning about silencers they are literally the coolest thing

[@TheJaySituation]

Man, that's so awesome! I also think they are the coolest thing. That's why I keep doing this! 😂😂

I run an RC2 Mini on my Knights 11.5 CQB. I wanted the ballistics of the 11.5 in a package smaller than my MK18 with the full-size RC2… the RC2 Mini does everything I want on that setup. So glad I got it.

[@TheJaySituation]

Awesome!

We need wave amplification of CAT data. SC, JL, SP would be great.

[@TheJaySituation]

Stay tuned!

In first :D unrelated, do you recommend vent 9 for use on 2011 / Glock?

[@TheJaySituation]

Thanks for listening to the podcast!
Regarding suppressing your pistol - the PTR VENT 2 can be an option if you procure a compatible piston/spring assembly. We have not tested that yet, actually. We can't recommend specific silencers, but we can answer technical questions. Thanks for your interest in the research!

@@TheJaySituationPTR uses the rugged piston, spring and retainer.

[@TheJaySituation]

@@Noneya45fghh107 yes, it can!

@@TheJaySituation The mini was my first can and I run it on my 13.9 Triarc with a warcomp (yeah I know ) but it’s a hassle to swap it out). Looking at getting a can for my 11.5 BCM. Leaning towards the rc3, polonium or the cgs after all the info you did on it. What’s your advice on what I should get?

[@richardbonner1674]

Also, what handguard is that?

[@TheJaySituation]

10.5" Super Modular Rail, Geissele blem

[@alexg6344]

Rc2 mini on 11.5 anyone?
