T & K Suppressors Altus™ and Vorix™

[TandKHunting]

VORIX suppressors are currently IN STOCK and ready to transfer to your preferred FFL. You can either enter your FFL choice during checkout, or we can find one for you. We don't have a ton of them, so keep that in mind!

What sets your can apart from the other various similar cans with similar specs? I like how you are willing to get them peer reviewed by anyone who will. Shows me you have a lot of faith in them testing very well.

We are using verified geometries. So it's not going to be any black magic or super light weight suppressor. We put what works in it, tweak it, and know it will last for years and years of use and abuse. Like anything we make, it's going to be high performing and last a long time. Our blast chamber is shorter, reducing first round pop. The biggest thing we are doing is spending a ton of money on inventory. I don't want guys waiting 2-3 months for a can if I can help it.

It's going to PEW Science, and we think it's going to do well based on what we know for both .308 supers and .300 subs. Both the ALTUS and VORIX have an impressive baffle stack in them. Substantially more baffle cones than most cans in their length and diameter class. They sound good on both subs and supers, while maintaining consistent performance. We test cans constantly with an HBK 2255 meter. We even compare them with other top cans...we just don't post it publicly.

We know it's going to compete with any 30 Cal can on performance. I'm sure Ryan will be doing more videos with the Airlock .30 cal and Reaper 30 Cal soon.

Looking forward to these results!

Why not?

I don't personally feel right doing that without permission from the company or allowing them to have a rep on location for the testing.

We would never do it, but it wouldn't be hard to manipulate the test to show better performance with your suppressor versus another top brand.

You would be surprised what people will do to capture market share. Or maybe not so surprising to most folks these days.

At the end of the day, the best test is 3rd party testing from a reliable source like PEW Science. Let the results speak for themselves. I have no want / need to deal with companies accusing me of manipulating internal tests and sharing them to the public to make my products look better. If we beat them on a 3rd party playing field...nothing can be said.

Thanks for the reply! I assume, based on some quick searches, that the HBK meter is widely considered the "gold standard?" The suppressor game is moving at light speed and us consumers are the main beneficiaries. Thanks

Yes, the HBK 2255 is considering the gold standard for meters under $15K. The one we use samples at 64 kHz versus the Larson Davis 821IH-QPR which samples at 48 kHz. The Larson Davis is the one being heavily used on here and by other brands on here.

Many brands post A weighted numbers too, but we post unweighted. We are capturing more accurate information simply because the meter is better and processing faster. Though it's still not perfect. Faster sampling software will give you far more accurate impulse readings and may be a .05 - 2 dB difference. Not enough for someone standing on a firing line to notice by ear, but substantial for PEW Science rankings.
