Thank you again sir. Please Please please stay financially untethered to these companies so that your videos and opinions are honest base solely on the performance of the can. Thanks again bro

Thank you for your positive comments and support. It really does mean a lot to us. We are considering a few sponsorships, but they would be ammunition and otherwise. We will not pair with any silence or manufacturer in order to do exactly what you said. Thank you again.

​@Ertactical why are you responding to this comment that is directed to @SilencerSyndicate?

THIS...THIS is what we are looking for! Real world reviews in real world scenarios. Don't get me wrong, i love Jay's (Pew Science) reviews, but range testing, comparisons & conversations during the test tossing the ball back & forth. EXCELLENT WORK fellas! Keep up the great work! Excited to see the channel explode into great & GREATER things! God bless sir!

[@Ertactical]

you rock! thank you for saying this. =)

[@ryanfiske8416]

Really hoping you get to test the CAT WB 718 and Ti. These are short (5.5") cans that weigh almost nothing. The weight for Titanium is 6.9 oz and for Inconel is 12.8 oz. These are supposed to be Hux back pressure low and have that deep low sound that competes with the best of them. I would love to see this silencer up against this Vent 3! THANK YOU for making this channel and doing the video's the way that you are. The community needed this!!

[@FDCNC]

They have more back pressure than hux cans but its nothing much.

[@Ertactical]

Thank you so much for your positive feedback and support. It really does mean the world to us. We would definitely like to get some of their suppressors on the channel, but they’re not responding to us, like at all.

[@FDCNC]

@@Ertactical You're gonna have to buy some from silencer shop or other dealers. CAT is not a suppressor company, these guys are engineers that work at an R&D company and make suppressors in their spare time for Tier 1 units. They really aren't into marketing by sending guys product to review.

[@TheMikeshannon]

Pewscience has tested both cans. The vent performs better than WB on a shorter barrel than the wb was tested with. The CAT titanium does have a really low heat rating though

[@aceoflive]

@@TheMikeshannon The WB and the Vent 3 are two different sub categories of cans. The WB is a K can while the Vent is a full size can. The WB also weighs and costs significantly less than the Vent 3. The Vent 3 is only a 1.6 points higher than the WB. There’s a lot of other factors as well that should be taken into consideration.

[@MrAbrown2112]

Awesome vid!! Seeing Kraken smile after he shot his round was priceless!! Much love to you allllll!

[@SilencerSyndicate]

Thanks Mr. Brown, we appreciate you! Yeah, I was blown away by how quiet that can was behind the gun with no ears. Not "Hollywood" quiet, but still very quiet compared to most other cans.

[@Ertactical]

thanks bro! love ya back! =)

[@whatiwant8898]

This was such a great video! Can't wait to see you test even more of the claimed super quiet low backpressure suppressors. 3d printing has really taken the suppressor world by storm and we're seeing some really amazing things come out of it. Can't wait to see what the next video is!

[@Ertactical]

Thank you so much for your positive feedback and support. It really does mean a lot to us. Yes there’s a lot of people claiming some pretty impressive things. I’m really surprised that PTR was able to deliver so many of their promises. More videos to come.

[@BafflingBS]

PTR and CAT, are the new kings of the suppressor world! I would definitely love to see these two go head to head! Fantastic, real world, non-bias review! Subscribed, and looking forward to much more!!!! I would like to see the PTR against the Mob from CAT

[@SilencerSyndicate]

Well, we have the PTR in jail right now and hopefully CAT will want to play with us soon. The more subscribers we get, the more manufacturers take notice. Thanks for the suggestion and we appreciate your support 🍻

[@BafflingBS]

@@SilencerSyndicateJay, from Pew Science, ranked this MUCH higher (42.5) than the CAT WB (35) on a Mk 18 (10.3”) He has yet to rate it on an M4 length barrel, but, I would expect it to be rated somewhere between 45-50 on a 16” That’s amazing for a 5.56 can!!!!!!

[@wizardsmokey]

My biggest concern would be service life. Titanium baffles already don't last as long as stainless or inconel, and having the whole thing be 3D printed and porous seems like a good recipe for it to start eroding holes in itself in 3k rounds.

[@Ertactical]

That’s a good point! We will put this one and several other titanium through many more test to come. If we find fail points, we will definitely report back.

[@ptrindustries]

We have run the same set of suppressors at our range events for the last year. We have put them to the test while maintaining the cleaning procedures outlined on our website. They are still high functioning and receiving good feedback.

[@jtuchak]

Is the can repairable? Can it be re-cored in the event of a baffle strike?

[@howitreallyis2235]

Love this. Real world testing with side by side comparisons and no BS. I’ve been heavily considering the Vent 2 but I already have a bunch of 9mm cans. The Vent 3 was on my radar but now it’s at the top of my list.

[@SilencerSyndicate]

Thank you! We feel that a proper review of a can needs to be head to head testing with similarly rated products to give a fair and honest take. The Vent 2 definitely shines as one of the top suppressors we've tested thus far! Thanks for watching 🍻

Its actually quite nice when a company promises the moon and actually delivers. Well provided the Vent 1 for 7.62 is just as good, its going to get added to the "next purchase" list.

Totally agree with you. We need to do a video on this exact topic, warranty, and customer service. It’s a great topic and we’re limited dark experience with it.

[@daredevil9745]

@@Ertactical I agree with you on loving the Nomad L because my buddy has one and it’s awesome. I almost got one but saw too many issues with customer service on people having with them so that lead me away from dead air over all. Sadly I wanted a Nomad L but if their warranty and service is slow and crappy, I’m out and went to other brands.

[@Baked2x]

Thanks again for the great videos. I like that you did subjective sound comparison, something I haven't noticed on your other videos. Unfortunately for me barrier into the suppressor world is cost. It would be great if you could test some lower cost options like the Aero Precision to see how well they measures up.

[@BafflingBS]

I will say this about this review; The guy from PTR actually mentioned CLR for cleaning. Where as CAT wants you to buy their proprietary CAT cleaning solution, for $150. Unless I'm mistaken, they are similar in the 3D design and both made of Titanium. I think that's pretty cool of PTR! As per your original question, I would have to say yes! Definitely worth it

[@Ertactical]

We’ve heard a lot about them and we keep reach out to them to try to get our hands on some for testing and they don’t respond to us. We would really like to get her hands on and figure out what they’re all about.

[@BafflingBS]

@@Ertactical honestly, I think their an offshoot of CGS. I just bought their rimfire “Short Round” Hopefully will have it in my hands either this week or next. I’m surprised PTR hasn’t ventured into the rimfire world yet.

[@Quality_Guru]

Congrats on the 100 K subscriptions. Would love to see a review of the PTR vent 1 for those of us that have a 7.62 x 39 and a 5.56 rifle as well. Can it serve dual purpose for both rifles? Would also like to see if some of the 5.56 suppressors could do double duty on a 5.7 x 28 pistol. Just trying to see how we can get the most bang for our buck and what would the trade offs be for a multi-role suppressor. Loving the content and how this channel is growing!

[@nickminderman7380]

The PTR doesn't have 30 cal yet. It's in testing.

[@SilencerSyndicate]

Thanks, much appreciated!

[@Ertactical]

We did get to shoot their 30 caliber suppressor. But they are not available for purchase. They offered us an opportunity to be front of the line to get one. To be honest part of me wants one in part of me doesn’t. I’d like to do a lot more testing before I say it’s worth the price point.

[@Quality_Guru]

@@Ertactical Thanks for the update - I have to say that at 1,500 dollars it’s almost worth getting separate suppressors, 1 for the AR and another for the AK. Would love to which suppressor provides low back pressure, good sound reduction and sells for less than 1K.

[@ghostoil4768]

These videos are coming out with perfect timing. Just finished building my 11.5 sbr and highly vested in low back pressure suppressors for it. Keep up the good work. On a side note have you heard anything about the velos k?

[@Ertactical]

Glad you enjoyed the video, we have emailed SoCo to request that can.

[@SheithKazmi]

Vent 3 vs RC3 people will be interested to find out. Durability ruggedness sound great video

[@bravelion2009]

RC3 was just tested by PewScience last week and was given one of the worst overall ratings for suppression. You could literally buy almost any other can on the market and you would have better suppression. If you must have a Surefire can, RC2 is still king.

[@Ertactical]

That would be a great video!

[@Fadaar]

Pretty amazing results, especially for the size and weight. Just need the price to come down.

[@Ertactical]

[@pereira.powerhouse]

Always blows my mind when companies have used car salesmen pitching their products.. almost turns me off from what in this case seems like a solid product.

[@Ertactical]

100%, your thoughts are exactly my thoughts. I was kind of looking forward to telling him he was wrong. But it didn’t go that way.

[@madmaxd1]

....and here it is!.. This is the video I was waiting for. I'm glad to see it performed good and that is a feat within itself considering it's their first suppressor. This being said, I do have some reservations mainly since it's their first and we all know how common issues usually are on initial products. The other concern is on the proprietary PIP. Most know that Titanium does have some amazing properties but unfortunately its not the best in erosion, this said I wonder how this foam like, porous formed Ti would hold up to abusing cycles or FA schedules. This basic comparison does show a positive outlook on this newcomer but I'm just wondering on long term wear & warranty. Although Bill was a great salesman, we didn't get any warranty nor factory servicing information. In retrospect, price & performance I'll take the 7.62 FLOW Ti. Thank you for this initial review guys! Great job..👏 EDIT: I covered my opinions on the rifle cans. As mentioned, 9mm platforms don't usually suffer from back pressures, as gas operated intermediate cartridge platforms do. The inflated price of hi-tech 3-D printed, Ti LBP is an advantage, I don't think the costs measures to these advantages. it's hard to justify $1500 for a pistol cartridge tube, that does not blow the competition out of the water. For less than half the price, you have options with similar performance like the Omega 9K. Again... this is just my perspective.. 😉

[@Ertactical]

Thank you for your feedback and thoughts. We will continue testing and will keep you updated. 😊

Been looking at a Huxwurx 762Ti eagerly awaiting the 308 version of this to see a comparison.

[@smashweights]

So help me understand these settings and backpressure better. Lower numbers on your gas block = higher back pressure from the suppressor. Shouldn't the shorter barrel have a higher back pressure since there's less space in the barrel for the gas to expand before getting "stuck" in the suppressor?

[@brokespoke5424]

Either way really enjoying your long format videos.

[@Ertactical]

That was totally our thoughts, way too high of a price point to be in that space. Also for the first year making Suppressors. We are pleasantly surprised with the results we found. Is it worth the $1500? That’s up to the individual. I’m glad you enjoyed the format, we debated for sometime over trying to compress it into the normal 12 minutes or letting it go long.

Definitely wish there was decibel readings for the suppressors here. Hopefully soon. Not saying you're biased to this suppressor with a ptr rep nearby, but its easy to question subjective hearing test without concrete numbers to show. Nothing against you or ptr, just like my numbers! Hope you're able to get ahold of some cat suppressors soon. I dont have many suppressors yet, but my odb is out of this world compared to what i do have.

[@SilencerSyndicate]

Thanks, we're in the process of getting ahold of the sound equipment. Once we do, we'll do a comparison of our 57+ suppressors in a video specifically about sound. That being said, you can verify our experience with the data on PEW Science in the mean time: pewscience.com/sound-signature-reviews-free/sss-6-135-ptr-vent-3-mk18-556

[@CalzaTheFox]

PEW Science is good for DB readings. They're only as good as the equipment used, and that isn't cheap. Subjective is fine in video format.

[@Ertactical]

We agree, a decimal reader would be helpful in someways and in someways not. Our subjective hearing test is currently our favorite. Once we have decimal readings, we will compare it to our subjective test and I expect we will find similar results. However, there are some things that are here that a decimal reader doesn’t quite pick up. Not as far as frequencies go, but more along the line of tone. One tone can be offensive at the same volume, where another tone can be non-offensive at the same volume.

I settled for the B&T SRBS 762ti I hope it was a good choice

[@musician445]

Pew Science has only tested the Nomad-L on 308 bolt gun, not 5.56 on either barrel length. I'd be curious to see the Nomad's results for sure. But the sales rep was not entirely incorrect; the measurements gathered by Pew Science for the Vent3 on the 10.3" MK18 are quieter than even the CAT WB is on a 14.5", making it the quietest (least damaging) suppressor in the 556 test matrix thus far. As far as hearing damage risk comparison; Nomad-L on 20" 308 bolt gun is 21.3 points quieter at the shooter's ear and 9.4 points quieter overall than the Vent is on the 10.3" Mk18. Largely due to it being a bolt action and having the endcap further away from the shooter's head. But the Vent on a short barrel semi auto getting that close to a top performing bolt gun suppressor like the Nomad is very impressive. Cracking the 40 zone in muzzle suppression on the MK18 has yet to be done by any other suppressor. Makes me excited for the growth of the suppression industry. Pew Science has improved customer knowledge and created a better frame of reference to better quantify performance than simply decibel meters designed for steady state noise. This new frame of reference showcases the benefits of advanced technology, which created a market for people to consider buying advanced tech instead of the same old omega baffle ripoffs that we've been fed for years.

[@Ertactical]

There are SO DAMN MANY OPTIONS ! I've been looking and learning and still know nothing, I was hoping to have just one that can do 556 and 300BLK by changing mount and end cap . The 300BLK is the most difficult to tune in the back pressure for sub's I may have to have a dedicated can for that , which means I'd have to have two one for each. Death air sand man L, or Omega 36M , YHM 30 , HUXWRKS . Cost - sound - weight each are important.

[@gerthddyn]

My real question is long term capability of the can given the purposefully induced porosity. Have you thought about getting a Flow 556 Ti?

[@Ertactical]

we do have a flow K and we like it. I don't think I am too interested in anymore of the Flow cans as they are really loud. so many other company's are making low BP cans that are actually quiet. If Hux sends one then we will test it but they are just so loud that its hard to be excited about them.

[@WaterZer0]

Yo is that an Archon Type B? Was not expecting to see that today! Do you have any interest in the gen 2, or are you satisfied with the gen 1?

[@Ertactical]

It is, however, it does not belong to us. PTR brought it out for demonstration. I used a Glock 17 for my testing.

[@ptrindustries]

Do you have a Gen 1? If so, you will soon be able to buy the Gen 2 lower on the PTR website.

[@pacoguggydoctor]

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask about the ptr suppressors but I have the idea that it is a porous material since they said it is a titanium ‘foam’. Does that mean that some of the gases leave the suppressor through the sides as well? Does this allow the suppressor to vent/breath better because of this. One area of concern if this is true is if you were to paint over the suppressor would that cause issues?

[@SilencerSyndicate]

No, the suppressor just uses that porous titanium "foam" on the inside. It mainly just results in the suppressor needing to be cleaned occasionally. We just got ours about 2 days ago, so we'll continue testing it to see how it holds up over time.

[@GldenRetriever]

Curious on how the Nomad LT compares as you are closer to that 11oz in weight.

[@Ertactical]

the Nomad Lti is 12.6 on their webpage, but it had barrel length restrictions of 12.5"

[@lucasmunoz6951]

Love the video 🤘

[@Ertactical]

Thank you =)

[@chadjones7722]

should compare that vent 9mm to rugged r9, full config.

[@Ertactical]

i don't have one but we will see about getting one.

[@stuartv666]

Any thoughts on overall toughness of these cans? If my rifle falls over and the middle of the can hits the corner of a bench on the way down, is the can going to snap in half? Or be unfazed? The Vent 3 looks awesome in how quiet it is. But, I can't help thinking it looks flimsy. Like it would break from staring at it too hard. A buddy of mine loves his Thunderbeast cans because he says they're quiet AND he can use them as a club if all else fails. I don't want to club people with my cans, but I also don't want something that will be destroyed in a minor mishap.

[@Ertactical]

good question, i guess we will learn that with more testing and we are doing lots.. we did more yesterday with it and will again on the 5th... we will keep you up to speed on it

[@dustinwheat125]

I noticed in this video that on your 11.5" rifle you are adjusting a gas block through the rail with a bullet. What gas block are you using? I have been looking at the Riflespeed gas blocks, but my setup according to their configuration tool says none will work on my system. Like your rifle, my setup is the similar in no clearance after rail to muzzle device. Thanks for the help.

[@Ertactical]

Yes, those gas blocks are amazing but they definitely take tinkering, I can’t say I have any good solutions other than having some extra barrels and rail systems so that you can attempt a few options

[@tomharper8351]

My first 9mm suppressor so I went for it. Looking for the quietest option for my SP5. It’s been a month so far waiting.

[@TheMikeshannon]

Also just to add theres a little misleading wording in the pew science rankings. It is the quietest at the muzzle but gets beat by 3 other cans at the ear. (not including the DSX since its on a tuned upper that nothing else has been tested on)

[@Ertactical]

thank you for adding that. we have also found a few other little details in regard to that study and its interpretation. Thank you =)

[@politicalpolarbear]

No Flow? That's been viewed as the standard in reduced back pressure for a good while now.

[@Ertactical]

we have 3 HUX cans. they are on our webpage to compare data.

[@hurrikaneiii]

I have a suggestion of two different videos. 1. Tough, durable go to war 556 can. 2. 556 can for no barrel length restriction. Check out Rugged and Maxim.

[@Ertactical]

good call, I should def do that vid! thanks for the feed back!

[@hurrikaneiii]

@@Ertactical Sorry for dumping on you but I have two more. 1. Test Witt Machine Canooter, Big Body tu tu, Mod 1 556. 2. Run that winner up against the Rex Silentium Ultra Low Back pressure 556.

[@stevis182]

Velos is a hard use can. The vent is not purely by material construction. The Velos is the best all around 556 can I own for ARs with barrels 14.5 and under. Better than my RC2, turbo k, polonium k, etc. longer barrels I prefer the mini 2, polonium k, and other k cans for length and weight. I want to try the Velos k however

[@Ertactical]

We have been testing the entire lineup from Silencerco in their VELOS Suppressors. And we are extremely impressed. Video to come on this topic specifically soon.

[@godsdozer]

Did he drive up to your range in a flex seal boat too? :)

[@Ertactical]

Hahahah

[@tpfrk8977]

What type of warranty does the PTR come with? Do they stand behind their products like Silencerco and Dead Air?

[@Ertactical]

customer services is a great topic and we are currently working on a vid just for that.. thanks for the tip

[@gregz4249]

I was always told in past not to ultrasonic titanium that’s why I went with stainless,said would become brittle?

[@Ertactical]

good Q! IDK

[@exodusz19]

Obviously the rifle speed has adjuster is useful for the channel but for a rifle with a dedicated can, I’m assuming it would not be worth it? Or would you disagree?

[@Ertactical]

I think that it’s worth it, but be ready to tinker. You might have to take it to the range three times before it really settles in to how you want it to be. You may have to change buffers and buffer weights. You may have to change plungers. So as long as you’re willing to tinker, it’s a great device. If you don’t want to tinker, doing a single adjustment, and setting it up for your unsuppressed rifle. Then Pete Ian lightly overcast with your suppressor. Or dedicate a suppressor to that rifle and never take the suppressor off and then you can turn the gas to that suppressor.

[@mrsickwick]

Honestly the car salesman turns me off a little more than the price point. Titanium isn't necessarily known for hard use either. All that being said it's always good to see another player in this space. I'm sure they'll provide more innovation as time passes.

[@Ertactical]

Yea, he was a bit sales-ish as mentioned in the vid. but it is a solid can. Def not a hard use can. Thanks for your positive feedback and comments.

[@factspirate99]

Haven't watched the entire video yet but I'm wondering how the titanium holds up and if its rated for even 10 round mag dumps?

[@Ertactical]

good Q, we did do a belt fed vid with 2 Ti cans and one SF can.. none of em made it but it was fun to learn what they could take.. vid will come soon

[@truthteller5539]

What happens when the porosity holes get clogged up with carbon and any unburnt powder? Does flow through and sound suffer?

[@SilencerSyndicate]

We actually asked this question at the range. The porosity is the reason why this can needs to be cleaned every 1,000 to 2,000 rounds (or when the can gains 1oz in weight). Thanks for watching, we appreciate your support 🍻

[@Ertactical]

Damien brought up that question when we were filming and the rep even answers it about Cleaning.

[@ptrindustries]

We have a cleaning procedure outlined on our website. As long as you follow the cleaning guidelines, the VENT will not have these issues.

[@Shabazzabayomi]

I'm working on a 7.5 300 blackout. I'm a leftty like you are. I would like to know what suppressor is best to keep gas out of my face first, second good sound and low to no muzzle raise.? Thanks for your help and videos.

[@Ertactical]

good question, we may need to have more of a conversation on this. Thank you for the kind words and support!

[@jjgriffin3275]

Best 308/556 can for Quiet specifically?? Polonium, nomad, etc

[@brianwood7882]

My question is how fast is the PIP going to clog off with carbon. Some powders are extremely dirty.

[@Ertactical]

I was thinking that too.. guess we will see

[@JohnZ556]

A generous amount of blue loctite with proper torque is good enough for most use. Red loctite is a bit more secure, but neither is really meant for high temp.

[@JohnZ556]

Red won't even be permanent on the muzzle since it will get cooked by a suppressed semi-auto rifle.

[@Ertactical]

There’s manufacturer recommendations and then there’s personal preference. Just know where you’re applying what adhesive and that you check on it from time to time.

[@slimdog1776]

Good stuff

[@crashtastic342]

I’m not sure if anyone else noticed, but the little blurb of the .30 cal can on and off a “G3” type rifle? The clip of the non suppressed ptr91 obviously had been manipulated. Anyone who has any experience knows that G3 type rifles throw brass like a morherfucker unsuppressed. The rifle in the video had brass flopping out.

[@SilencerSyndicate]

It wasn’t our rifle, PTR likely tuned the rifle for a suppressor, which is frankly a good thing to do for any rifle running a suppressor. The 7.62 Vent suppression is still in development, they just gave us an early test drive. So no “manipulation” going on here, just a good understanding of how to setup a suppressor host so that it isn’t over gassed. Thanks for watching.

[@Ertactical]

yup, good call, they set that gun for their can. we don't have that can but when we get it we will be testing on our rig so all things will be fair. as u noticed this vid was more about the 556 can.

[@crashtastic342]

@@SilencerSyndicate G3 type rifles like mp5’s aren’t gassed. You can however change out the bolt locking piece. Even with that being done, the brass flopping out is abnormal.

[@daviddelmonico4293]

You should do a video on the KAC MCQ QDC PRT

[@Ertactical]

those are some $$$$ cans, we will grow our channel a little more then we will reach out to KAC. Thank you! thank you for the positive feed back and support =)

[@argg.x]

silencer shop available again?.... link was removed and I was waiting for the in-stock notification :'|

[@SilencerSyndicate]

There's been quite a wait for these suppressors. Thanks for watching!

[@Ertactical]

With Suppressors moving as fast as they are supply will be a big problem for a while I think. Get them while you can.

[@LMA-J]

I would like to know how hard you can push it. What's the cool down period per shot rate? Edit: What is the maximum recommended temperature for the suppressor AND What is the max firing rate to get to that temperature?

[@SilencerSyndicate]

All good questions, we may do some torture tests in the near future. Thanks for watching 🍻

[@Ertactical]

Good question, we should’ve asked that when we were filming.

[@LMA-J]

@Ertactical Right. PTR's website says they are full-auto rated but Pewscience says they can do 120 rounds followed by a 10MINUTE cool down... I'm trying to avoid any cool down period

[@Ertactical]

@@LMA-J totally understand. You might want to call them. I’ve been surprised how good peoples customer service is.
