OSS suppresser
I tried a search here, so forgive me if I missed it. I am looking for anyone who may have had experience using the OSS suppresser on a piston rifle and/or with subsonic ammunition.
Thanks for your time.

No experience, but I follow Steve Reichert and Craig Sawyer on Facebook. One of them (don't recall which) recently posted about OSS Suppressors saying how they are the best and most advanced suppressors on the market.

I'm still on the fence about these. I feel the marketing is a bit aggressive and caters to the "tacticool" crowd. I haven't done much research on them, but I definitely plan to see if they live up to their claims. My main turn off is the styling. I'm not a fan of the carbon fiber/stainless steel look of them.

After watching the SHOT Show video, it's not clear how their suppressor is any different than your standard stacked baffle design. Are any of these out in the market yet and form 4 approved?

I got to hang out with the OSS guys in the crazy Beyond clothing suite at the Encore for two nights while at Shot. They had multiple suppressors laying around for people to check out, and a couple HK uppers with the suppressors mounted. Unfortunately I didn't get to shoot one on range day, but I did get to talk to the lead engineer for a couple hours. His explanation was that the twisting, turbine like internals cause the gases to travel much further while inside the suppressor, instead of just having multiple chambers divided by baffles in a normal suppressor. According to him, it's also supposed to reduce the amount of gas that comes back into the upper, both from the gas tube and in the chamber.
There was a silent auction to benefit a charity for one of the suppressors, which I bid on several times through the evening. It went for way more than I could afford, though. Good for the charity, at least!

Nice explanation of how they work. Would definitely be cool if it really does reduce the amount of gas coming back thru the upper.

I got to handle, (but not shoot), both a 7.62 and 5.56 model yesterday at a local dealer. They actually took one apart and allowed me to look over the pieces parts. The company is supposed to be in town in the relatively near future for a range day/test drive experience. I hope it is when I am in town to be able to go...

My thought about these ... they look very heavy, especially with both parts installed. What did you think of the weight?

Good video with more detailed explanation of the theory behind the design as well as the "nuts & bolts".
