Air Lock Industries Suppressor

[JoeK]

judging Airlock's integrity, reliability or any such principles or values as a company based on the statements or actions of and unaffiliated fanboy (no diss to Presswood just the parlance of our times) on the interweb and deeming them an "Airlock associate", "pseudo representative" or spokesperson for Airlock the company strikes me as completely unfair and detached from reality...

Um fanboi flaming an airlock fanboi, because life likely took precedence to demo day. This is where we are at here for last few pages? Props to @DannyB for trying to set the table for this comparison!

@sndmn11 @Presswood_936 isn’t a representative, he’s just a fan of the product. We used his wolf photo because it’s a great shot and received a lot of positive feedback.

He certainly has been the most vocal spokesperson here. Although far more brash about it, he has also mirrored your demo style efforts. When you are aware of his statements and efforts in representing Airlock, but don't make it known up front there is zero association, it comes across as his genuine representation. Combined with Airlock using his content for marketing, it reinforces that there is a professional association.

If you’re in the Denver area, I can either arrange a day to fly down and let you demo one personally, or see if there’s an FFL/range locally where I could Form 3 a demo unit for you to test there. I’ll need to do some digging to see what’s possible.

I’m very transparent and an open book with everything, feel free to send me a DM and I can share my number. If there are more Rokslide users in the Denver area interested in trying one out, maybe we could set up a demo day. I know I was DM’d about one previously, but the timing didn’t work out with our schedule.

Sending one out would be great, Fritz would be able to do that https://blackcanyoncustoms.com/

You and I did DM regarding me organizing such a day, and you went silent.

I still don't own a suppressor, and have been around two suppressed centerfire shots 10 months apart. My wife has an OG for her two centerfires but we haven't been to the range together; I have muzzle brakes on my rifles.

The guerilla marketing tactics for Airlock have been a figurative gauntlet thrown, "we will meet up with anyone" overt approach... Awesome, actual use is what Rokslide is about, I sometimes write for Rokslide, and I have zero bias due to any suppressor purchase. My hand went up to play the meet up/demo game and the public Airlock enthusiasm changed to a fizzle out in private conversation.

The scenario is definitely on topic for this thread and worthy of discussion. @khuber84 for some reason I think you might be within a day's drive, it would be great to get you involved if you are willing

PLEASE, no comments other than the format below. If you have testing equipment, suggestions, a desire to donate to the ammo fund, ANYTHING other than what goes into the format below, please PM me or start a separate thread. I don't want to have to sift through comments, discussion, bickering etc.

I have been thinking about organizing a suppressor sample day with as many centerfire "hunting" units as possible, in the same place, same opinion-ers, same rifles, etc. Before I get too far into trying, I am asking those who might like to participate to provide the info below. Just copy paste...

Why is the fixation on the OG though? Other than "tone" and balance it's pretty loud correct? I don't get how it's any sort of standard to measure against. A Reaper would be a more apt comparison IMO, though Unknown Suppressors are still up and comers that need to prove themselves out over time, just like Airlock.
