Shooting suppressed is the best. Hands down, it is so much fun. From my first experience until today, I still find extreme joy in suppressing my firearms. Suppressors are something that as a firearms enthusiast, hunter and lover of the second amendment, I believe everyone should own. However intimidating the process may seem, I guarantee that shooting suppressed is well worth the time and effort. Whether you are a hunter, recreational shooter or a combination of it all, you will never regret getting into the suppressor game.
About Huxwrx Safety Co.
Huxwrx Safety Co. formerly known as OSS Suppressors, is an industry leader in the suppressor world and engineering. Their patented OSS Flow-Through® Technology virtually eliminates blowback and toxic gas that can affect weapon system performance and shooter health. Engineered to deliver superior sound suppression without adversely affecting the weapon system, it operates and functions as it would unsuppressed.
About the 7.62 Ti
My first experience with suppressors started back in 2016 when I went through the process to get my very first which took a year and a half. I choose a .30 caliber can for the ability to hunt with and switch it between all of my different firearms and calibers. As the years progressed and I experienced substantial amounts of gas being blown back into my face while shooting suppressed, I figured there had to be a better way. So my search started and I landed upon Huxwrx with their flow-thru technology.
The HX-QD 762 Ti has helped reduce shooter’s fog while running suppressed when out on the range with your semiautomatic hosts and also being light enough to add to the end of my hunting rifle. One of my biggest fears when it came to hunting suppressed was shooting off of a steep mountain side, cliff or across a canyon and losing my suppressor off the end of my barrel as I have had other name brand suppressors loosen while being afield and shooting.
While shooting at the range one day, the first suppressor I bought loosened and shot off the end of my barrel as the torque ring just couldn’t hold tight. Huxwrx understood how often this issue occurs with other suppressors and threaded the HX-QD 762 Ti to tighten the opposite direction. Rifle barrels are fluted to have bullets spin to the right. As the pressure, gas and bullet comes out, it naturally loosens any suppressor that twists on with the old saying of “righty tighty, lefty loosey.” At first, twisting on the suppressor to the left felt awkward but I have never had it loosen on me during shooting or hunting which reduces my anxiety of loosing it in the wilderness.
Pros

- Helps in reducing shooter flinch

The combination of weight savings, opposite threading and reduction of toxic gases to the shooter face makes this can an absolute favorite of mine.
