Both exist for your caliber — this guide shows which is which, and what each one measures. The short answer. For driven […]
Flow-Through Suppressors on Semi-Autos: Why the Venti Front Needs No Gas Tuning
Short answer: The Stalon Venti silencers are flow-through suppressors. It vents gas forward instead of trapping it, so it creates controlled back pressure and runs on a gas-operated semi-automatic with no gas-system tuning. In short, it’s plug-and-play: mount it and shoot. With a conventional suppressor, you’d have to adjust the gas pressure to run it […]
Does a Silencer Change Where You Hit?
Point-of-impact shift is one of the most common — and most overlooked — things that happens when you add a suppressor to your rifle. Here’s what causes it, how big the difference really is, and what you must do before you hunt. WHAT WE FOUND AT THE RANGE: WITH VS WITHOUT A SUPPRESSOR On our […]
Silencer Beats Hearing Protection
Every shot damages your hearing. That is not an opinion — it is physics. A rifle shot generates around 160 dB at the shooter’s ear. Permanent hearing damage begins at 140 dB. The difference between those two numbers is not a margin of safety. It is a guaranteed problem. The question is not whether you […]
Titanium vs Aluminium Silencer
Titanium sounds like the obvious choice for a high-performance silencer. Lightweight, strong, premium. We thought so too — which is why we previously used it in our X-series. But after years of real-world use, we moved away from it. Not because titanium is a bad material. But because for a silencer that goes through extreme […]

HOW MUCH DOES A SILENCER REDUCE RECOIL IN PRACTICE ON THE RANGE?
Recoil feels different the moment you attach a silencer and shoot. You notice less punch in the shoulder, less muzzle rise, and more control when you track the sight picture through the shot. You stay on target instead of fighting the rifle. Many hunters ask us the same thing: how much recoil reduction do you […]
DOES A SILENCER AFFECT ACCURACY AND POINT OF IMPACT? (POI SHIFT)
POI shift happens when your point of impact moves after you mount a silencer. Many hunters notice it at the range and worry that the rifle “lost precision”. In reality, POI shift usually means your group relocates, not that your rifle stops grouping. Here we explain why POI shift happens, what it tells you, and […]
