First off try some different ammo and see what happens. My Octane is noticeably quieter after a few shots have been fired. Is this your first can? If so its not like the movies.

Suppressed .45 is still pretty loud unless you do some specialty handloads.

Not my first can.
I'm thinking it may be different when I'm loading them. Last week we shot my usp40 suppressed and it was much quieter(but it had a mag in it and a stock barrel). I'm still think the additional 1.5" barrel upped the velocity somewhat. I will try and get out this week with another suppressed 45 using this same ammo Thanks |

Quoted:
First off, I forgot a mag so I was single shotting Uh.... my edumicated guess is operator error. In my experience, from what I've heard "witnessed" Octane 45s are good to go. I just purchased one based on my experience. My buds rocks! I'm so looking forward to mine. Hopefully I'll get it in my next lifetime. |

My Tirant is pretty pleasant to shoot dry.
Wet its silly quiet on a 1911. Possible the host is simply loud? |

Interesting, I'll have to shoot one w\o a mag in it.
I wonder if not having the mag changed some sort of pressure dynamic or gas flow? Probably over thinking.... |

Just a thought, do you have all the petals in the baffles lined up with a petal in the expansion chamber? The first few times I cleaned mine I lined up all the baffles but didn't line the holes up with the expansion chamber. That might help.

Very impressed with my Octane 45 H on a G19/17 running 135 gr sub's.

I haven't been impressed with pistol suppressors.

The octane has never been apart; it's only had maybe 50-70 RDS through it. I will try some other ammo with it. Also, I need to measure the oal because it looks really squatty.
Ten Ring ammo has a spotty reputation from what I've heard. |

I loaded up some 230 Berry's over 5.8 of CFE pistol and tossed my muffs, nice and quiet. In fact, we blew through all 100 rounds so now I'm going for really quiet
