Suppressor Performance w/ Direct Thread Mount Variation

[JohnsIsl]

Something I’ve been thinking about lately… I have a number of different suppressors and generally use direct thread hub mounts.

I have noticed that while the industry has somewhat consolidated around the ‘hub’ mount that there is still a significant amount of variation in what I’ll call “end of barrel depth” into the suppressor blast chamber. For example, my dead air hub mounts allow for the end of the barrel to sit much deeper into the blast chamber than my B&T.

Anyone have an opinion on how this may impact suppressor performance?

Take this as speculative theory and not direct experience or understanding.
Thought one: volume = performance. Less volume= louder suppressor
Thought two: stripping the gasses quickly from the bullet after it exits the muzzle can lead to better accuracy because there is less turbulence working on the free flying base of the bullet.
Third thought: test and see if #1 or #2 matter.
