Cheap VS. Expensive 9mm Suppressor

Published on November 9, 2024
Duration: 13:35

This video compares the B&T RBS SQD and PTR Vent 2 9mm suppressors, evaluating sound suppression, back pressure, and accuracy. The PTR Vent 2 is found to be significantly quieter, especially with subsonic ammunition, and offers a more stable and versatile mounting system compared to the B&T RBS SQD, which suffers from accuracy issues due to a wobbly mounting system. The PTR Vent 2 is also noted for its ability to be used on pistols, unlike the B&T's trilog-only mount.

Quick Summary

The PTR Vent 2 9mm suppressor is significantly quieter than the B&T RBS SQD, particularly with subsonic ammunition. The Vent 2 also boasts a stable mounting system, unlike the B&T's wobbly mount which affects accuracy and safety. Furthermore, the Vent 2's adaptable thread pitch allows for pistol use, a feature not available with the B&T's trilog-only system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which 9mm suppressor is quieter, the B&T RBS SQD or the PTR Vent 2?

The PTR Vent 2 is noticeably quieter than the B&T RBS SQD, especially when using subsonic ammunition. While the difference is less pronounced with supersonic rounds, the Vent 2 still offers superior sound suppression.

What is the main issue with the B&T RBS SQD suppressor's mounting system?

The B&T RBS SQD suffers from a significant wobble in its mounting system, leading to unpredictable accuracy and potential safety concerns. This instability can cause rounds to deviate from the intended point of aim.

Can the PTR Vent 2 be used on a pistol?

Yes, the PTR Vent 2 can be used on a pistol due to its adaptable thread pitch (1.125" x 28), allowing for compatibility with various adapters and piston systems. The B&T RBS SQD is limited to trilog mounts and cannot be used on pistols.

How does the back pressure compare between the B&T RBS SQD and PTR Vent 2 on 9mm firearms?

Back pressure is considered a tie between the B&T RBS SQD and the PTR Vent 2 when used on 9mm firearms. 9mm cartridges generally produce less back pressure, making the difference negligible between these two suppressors.
