Glock Blunderbuss testing

Published on June 2, 2024
Duration: 9:54

This video tests a 3D-printed 'blunderbuss' attachment for a Glock, comparing its sound reduction to a SilencerCo Octane 45 suppressor using 147-grain subsonic 9mm. It also reviews Three Pigeons range bags designed for secure firearm transport, highlighting their utility in preventing accidental ammunition transport violations like the one faced by Tyler Winrich. The reviewer emphasizes the importance of dedicated range bags versus general travel bags.

Quick Summary

A 3D-printed 'blunderbuss' attachment for a Glock acts as a linear compensator, directing muzzle blast forward. While not a suppressor, it may reduce perceived noise. The SilencerCo Octane 45 suppressor is tested with subsonic 9mm, proving effective. Dedicated range bags are recommended to avoid accidental ammunition transport, which carries severe legal penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'blunderbuss' attachment for a Glock?

A 'blunderbuss' attachment for a Glock, as tested in this video, is a 3D-printed device functioning as a linear compensator. Its purpose is to direct muzzle blast and gas forward, away from the shooter, potentially reducing perceived noise and concussion without acting as a true suppressor.

Is a SilencerCo Octane 45 effective with 9mm subsonic ammunition?

Yes, the SilencerCo Octane 45, though designed for .45 ACP, can be surprisingly effective and even quieter than some 9mm suppressors when used with 147-grain subsonic 9mm ammunition, offering a noticeable reduction in sound to the shooter.

What are the risks of carrying ammunition in luggage?

Carrying ammunition in luggage, especially when traveling internationally, carries significant legal risks. As seen in the case of Tyler Winrich, it can lead to severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines, due to strict regulations on firearm components.

Why are dedicated range bags recommended over general travel bags?

Dedicated range bags, like the Three Pigeons models reviewed, offer specialized compartments for firearms, magazines, and accessories, enhancing organization and security. This separation helps prevent accidental transport of ammunition or firearms in general travel bags, mitigating legal risks and ensuring safety.
