Ihave always been a big pistol shooter.
Sure, I like rifles, shotguns, lever actions, bolt guns.
Okay, I just like guns, but pistols have always been my favorite.
Naturally, after shooting pistols for years I have grown very fond of shooting them suppressed.
A suppressor has been the gateway to longer range sessions and better training.
The XD-M Elite already had a 4.5 threaded barrel and shot awesome.
Camera guys, students, other instructors and friends.
For me, a suppressor is really a training tool.
Sure, it is always cool to shoot suppressed, but it also is safer all around.
My issue was I didnt want to waste a tax stamp on a one-gun-only can.
I wanted a can that would easily adapt to my 9mm sub guns, pistols and pistol-caliber carbines.
Well, I found out someone does make that exact can: GSL Technology.
GSL Technologys Stealth features a traditional baffle design.
The baffles redirect and slow gasses coming out of the barrel.
The gas exiting the suppressor is slower, cooler and less aggressive.
This results in reduced noise and perceived recoil, making the design perfect for 9mm platforms.
However, I honestly feel that reduction is even better than that.
It almost messes with the shooter at first because it is so quiet.
The crack just is a bit quieter.
Stealth is honestly the perfect name for this suppressor because it is stealthy.
Shooting sub-sonic ammunition, the can makes the shots sound like a suppressed .22 Short.
It is actually pretty common with suppressed pistols shooting sub-sonic ammo.
This to me honestly shows how much recoil reduction you are really getting when shooting suppressed.
A simple tap on the back of the slide got things lined up again for me.
Greg actually Holds 9 patents in suppressors and suppressor designs.
The man could easily be called The godfather of sound suppression in the firearms world.
(To learn more about Greg and the story of GSL, clickhere.)
Conclusion
The ingenuity and passion of GSL really show in the Stealth suppressor.
