Delta Force and SEAL Team 6 are already booked up for some kind of mandatory government sensitivity training.
Theres no one else available.
How would you proceed?
The SilencerCo Osprey pistol suppressor is designed differently than others on the market. The obvious goal is to attenuate the harmful noise of a gunshot while allowing you to use factory sights.
But what would that hypothetical tricked-out pistol look like?
In addition, there are three different grip module sizes.
If you cant find the Echelon that fits you perfectly, you might not technically be human.
With a little generous accessorizing from Trijicon, Streamlight and SilencerCo, the Springfield Armory Echelon becomes even greater than the sum of its parts.
The Echelons Variable Interface System makes mounting an optic quick, easy, and painless.
Id top my supergun with aTrijicon RCR closed emitter red dot sight.
The RCR isnt cheap, but, serious quality seldom is.
The SilencerCo Osprey is a different sort of sound suppressor. You can clearly see that the bore is not centered, which allows the bulk of the suppressor to ride lower for normal sight usage.
Id also slap aStreamlight TLR-8Gcombination white light illuminator and green laser on the dust cover.
That leaves the sound suppressor.
For that, Id ping SilencerCo.
The offset design of the SilencerCo Osprey lowers the overall mass of the suppressor downward to allow a pistol like the Echelon to have a more unobstructed sight picture.
The Sound of Silencers
There are a few basic rules that apply to all handgun sound suppressors.
The LID is the most inspired mechanical contrivance since pressurized cheese in a can.
The mission is to cool and slow the combustion gases at the muzzle.
At 15 meters off a simple rest, this optimized Springfield Armory Echelon reliably gets the hits.
You just cant do that without a little space.
How you apportion that space makes all the difference in the world.
Most sound suppressors are round.
Cylinders are easy to make.
However, if the can is sufficiently large, the top half will occlude the pistols sights.
Precious few of us are actually Jedi Knights, so SilencerCo came up with a novel mechanical solution.
Monocore simply means that the baffle stack is cut from a single block of material.
The larger .45 ACP Osprey can be used on 9mm platforms as well.
The can accepts either a LID or a fixed mount and is both sealed and maintenance-free.
At a glance, however, it’s possible for you to tell that the Osprey is different.
For starters, the cross section is a polygon rather than a circle.
Additionally, the bore is offset to the top so as to minimally obscure the pistols sights.
The newest versions include a nifty pushbutton clutch that makes mounting a snap.
Release the button, and the can locks in place.
The Osprey is hands-down the most advanced handgun suppressor on the market today in my opinion.
That makes the gun easy to carry and quick to maneuver.
Particularly when charged with 147-gr.
subsonic ammo, the Osprey sound suppressor keeps things peaceful and pleasant.
Double taps flow forth with the grace of Rachmaninoff and the accuracy of the Large Hadron Collider.
Once you take its measure, this tricked-out Echelon will clear steel plates with a ballerinas grace.
Admittedly, the chances are pretty slim that I might actually be called upon to rescue anybody from anything.
However, about once a year I am awakened in the night to some troublesome sound or other.
Take it from me, its also a splendid way to kill a lazy Saturday afternoon at the range.
