Well...what were they? Mine -- LWRC IC 14.5" upper. Surefire SOCOM 308 mini RC2 suppressor. Factory ammo -- generally Federal GMM 69 or American Eagle FMJ 55. I have a touch over 2,000 rounds down the pipe. I last shot it in March, with the results in a 10-round rifle accuracy thread. | |||

One was a suppressed 226 of all things. I was shocked how much I felt blasting me in the face at arm’s length. The other was a suppressed AUG. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

Many years ago, there were Sigforum shoots in NE Colorado, coordinated by a SF dealer (Ryan IIRC). These shoots provided my first experience with cans. I shot a Sig P226 in 9mm, a Glock 17, and an H&K in 45ACP. I don't know the brand(s) of suppressors, and I don't know which H&K model. We shot cans dry, and wet with small amounts of water. Great experience, and I recall no rear gas blasting on any of the shots. I don't recall blast comments from other shooters, either. I few years later I shot some suppressed pistol at a local indoor range, with the can wet from water. I did get a few black spots on my shooting glasses, however I didn't notice the spots until after shooting, when cleaning my glasses. I definitely did not feel anything on my face. I've fondled a couple of AUGs, but never shot them. I have no desire to own one, as I'll take my ARs any day. It's my understanding that an AUG isn't the best platform for suppression. | |||

Changing the loads on the P226 to ones using much faster burning powder removed the issue. The AUG was helped by using a suppressor gas plug, though it didn't go away completely. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.
