Great and very thorough comparison. As expected the most expensive ones (looking at the ridiculously expensive DonnyFl ones) are not necessarily the best.I have made my own silencers many times since they cost a few dollars and work almost as well as the expensive ($100+) ones.
Charlie, have you toyed with getting your hands on the Huma MOD50 yet?
Here ya go:https://www.huma-air.com/Modular-Air-Moderator-MOD50-4/0-(Standard)It appears the standard MOD50 is longer than the standard MOD40, fwiw. It appears to be offered and in .25 at the smallest, not that it really matters. I use the same moderator on my Maverick for all calibers up to .30. I imagine that would put quite a hush on something just the same. The Huma doesn't win any looks contests, but none of the others offer the Huma's flexibility either. Personally, looks are pretty low on my moderator importance list, because odds are good it will end up with camo, lol. No seriously, my main looks concerns are that it isn't shiny. After that, I don't care as long as it works Matthias, I imagine you could make that Huma pretty short, just by removing a section or two.Oddly enough, I'm still using that STO Falx high flow on my Maverick. I just can't get over how well that little dude works on a shrouded gun. I guess that helps the "gas diode" work like it should? I use it up to 130 fpe in .30, and up to 80+fpe in .22, and it still does the job surprisingly well. The short-ish length/size combined with effectiveness is why it stays with that gun. That isn't to take away from the very effective Huma. I've grown to prefer the lower tone of the STO on the Maverick, and it is giving up very little in sound level with a much longer Huma. Now, on my bare barreled guns, the Huma almost always wins no matter what I compare it to.
¡¿Huma silencer with 50mm diameter?! WHAT?!? I NEED ONE! For those of us that want to silence our guns without adding too much length — "THIS IS THE WAY" (yes, I do trust the Mandalorians when they tell us that — just looking at their advanced weapons' technology...) THE WAY being larger diameter silencers with shorter OAL, that is. And so far, only DonnyFL offers 50mm diameter silencers: ● Ronin (6.3" = 15.9cm long) ● Emperor V2 (10" = 25.4cm long) 🔶 Now, if Huma offered a 50mm but shorter than those monsters, that would be very interesting for bullpups and pistols.... 🤔 🔶 And maybe Huma could spruce up the design a bit for the amount of $$ they're charging. Because in the looks department DonnyFL, 0DB, Ramus, Hugget, and Weihrauch (2020 models) leave Huma in the lead dust they collect.... 😊 Matthias

I assume the baffles are actually add-on external modules, yes? So then how short can this be, and how long with all baffles installed? The HUMA spec says it about 8.7" long. Surely that's not the shortest?For comparison, the Donny Ronin is the same diameter, but 6.25" long. (And "only" $185)
Wish GEO still sold his moderator. I ham fisted the long one I bought and broke it.

(I have other guns I would still like to buy so - certain priorities may get in the way, ha ha)...
That bird landed there with the gun shooting around 60 fpe.
Hey Charlie, I decided to give the STO Sarissa "high flow" a testing out. I guess it's safe to say it works pretty well, lol! It's kinda big, but man that sucker is quiet.. Pay no mind to those groups, I was testing some ammo at different speeds, and was shooting groups on top of groups to save target stickers.. This was at 30 yards, and that bird landed there with the gun shooting around 60 fpe in .22
Like the one where I shot a window frame because the line of sight and the pellet's trajectory are grossly mismatched close to the muzzle. I did that once. And once more.... And..., well, there are 4 (four) pellet holes in that particular window frame. 🤦🏻♂️ Matthias
Hey Charle, great work with the silencers! Thanks for your efforts. Could you post a link to the test you did with the Avenger please? Thanks.
