Real Talk: Surefire Ryder 22S

This video details the collaboration between Ruger and Dead Air Silencers, introducing the RXD series of suppressors. It highlights the innovative design of the RXD22TI, featuring 3D-printed titanium construction, a lead-catching muzzle adapter, and ease of cleaning. The RXD30TI is also presented, focusing on recoil reduction for larger caliber bolt-action rifles. The discussion emphasizes the companies' commitment to advanced technology and user experience.

This video reviews the Anechoic Pipsqueak, a 3.5-inch, 1.5-ounce, all-titanium 22LR suppressor. The reviewer highlights its exceptionally light weight, comparing it to carbon buildup on a rifle barrel. It's demonstrated on a Ruger 10/22 Charger with a 9-inch barrel, using Remington subsonic ammunition.

This video reviews two suppressors from Texas Silencer Company: the Scoundrel for rimfire firearms and the Outrider for rifle calibers. Both suppressors are tested indoors, with the Scoundrel demonstrating hearing-safe operation on a 22LR pistol and the Outrider performing well on a 30 caliber rifle. A notable observation is the potential for a point of impact shift when using suppressors on handguns, requiring potential firearm re-zeroing.

This video details a critical aspect of suppressor maintenance: the proper use of Rocksett for reassembly and the methods for disassembling a suppressor that has been secured with it. The instructor emphasizes that Red Loctite is unsuitable for suppressors due to heat and pressure, leading to potential failure. Rocksett, a water-based silica compound, is the recommended adhesive for its superior heat resistance and secure bonding, though it requires specific disassembly techniques.

This review and test of the Silencer Central Banish 22 Titanium Suppressor highlights its lightweight, all-titanium construction and impressive decibel reduction across various calibers, including 22LR, 22 Magnum, 5.7x28mm, and 17 HMR. The video details its full-auto rating, modularity for baffle rotation to extend lifespan, and unique features like a built-in takedown tool. It also covers the NFA process and Silencer Central's mail-order system.

This video provides a comprehensive guide to selecting and understanding suppressors, emphasizing key considerations beyond just sound reduction. The instructor highlights the importance of flash signature, durability, mounting systems, and weight. He advises on choosing a .30 caliber suppressor as a versatile starting point and discusses specific models and their performance characteristics, offering practical advice for prepared citizens.

Lucas Botkin, founder of T.Rex Arms, shares his expert insights on optimizing carbine builds based on extensive round counts. He details his philosophy on barrel length versus optic choice, preferring red dots for shorter barrels and magnification for longer ones. Botkin also discusses preferences for muzzle devices, foregrips, lights, lasers, and triggers, emphasizing reliability and simplicity for high-volume use.

This video details a critical incident during a firearms class where a custom-built pistol, featuring numerous aftermarket parts, experienced unintended discharges. The instructors meticulously troubleshoot the issue, identifying tolerance stacking and specific magazine fit as the likely culprits. They emphasize the importance of testing aftermarket components and the potential pitfalls of combining non-OEM parts.

This video discusses the practical considerations of Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) with firearms instructor Nick Young. Key takeaways include the benefits of SBRs for suppressor use, the legal complexities involving ATF travel paperwork, and the potential reliability issues and increased violence in shorter-barreled platforms. The discussion also touches on the importance of proper buffer systems and the tendency for 'Franken-guns' to fail in training.

Hwansik Kim explains his 'No Friction Grip' technique, developed to maintain control in adverse conditions like sweaty hands or rain. The method emphasizes specific pressure points, particularly using the support hand's index finger on the trigger guard and the top knuckles of the support hand on the firing hand. This technique aims to minimize reliance on grip enhancers and provide consistent control through recoil by creating a stable platform without excessive friction.
