Banish 12

[AK_Hobie]

I just picked up a Banish 12 and a 21” barrel for the M2 to see how it would work to potentially help the hearing on dogs and myself. It’s too late for the lab I have now but hopefully the next dog won’t suffer the hearing loss he has. The 21” swings nice with the suppressor on it. There is additional weight but I feel it’s something a guy could get used to easily. My spare 28” M2 is pretty light at 7 lb, 1.1 oz. I added the 21” barrel and Banish 12 to my main M2 and it didn’t add much weight (21” w/Banish is 7lb, 15.6oz) and moves the balance point towards the barrel roughly 1-2”. I will try to get out and shoot some ducks before the season ends in two weeks and give a field report.

Looking forward to hearing how it sounds

I bought the Phoenix Weaponry Shotgun supressor, have it attached to an A300, definitely a learning curve to shooting it, not the worst feeling but definitely something to get used to. IMO it's not worth the price, it's fine, but I was not impressed with the suppression and don't think the juice is worth the squeeze. Now I am guessing the banish with a shorter barrel shotgun is better idea, I'll try that next.

Bullmtn, same experience. Feel like I would have been better off spending the money on some tetra ear plugs. Sound suppression from the Phoenix process seems minimal.

I ended up getting some otto noise barriers. Best electronic plugs I've used.

We shot a bunch of birds the other day from the sled with a 12 & 20ga. Had a balaclava and a modular helmet on(no plugs). The shots were not loud at all with that much material in the way. Honestly they were suppressed centerfire like.
