    Salvo 12

    Interested in testing this indoors with my sound meter.

    I'd be interested too. I've always wondered how well the Salvo12 did to knock down the noise.

    Ordered some 6” and 10” rods from Capitol armory.

    For a home defense firearm, I’m willing to sacrifice some noise reduction for lighter weight and maneuverability.

    Soundbites and video required because I can't wait to see you shoot it. On another note the sound reduction numbers for that thing look unreal.

    Most shotgun ammunition is super sonic. The Salvo12 sounds better with low recoil, short barrels, or both. Reducing muzzle velocity will be important to making that can sound good with how large the bore is.

    Super versus sub doesn’t matter. Not going for silence, going for not immediately deaf.

    I suppress my 11” ARs too….

    The LXT is too slow to capture the peak of a gunshot. The peak of each of those shots is randomly anywhere between 3 and 7 db higher than recorded.

    Sorry, I was just using shorthand.

    It’s an LXT1, the one they recommended for gunshot noise.

    That’s to the best of my knowledge though. If the LXT1 also suffers from being too slow then so be it. But that’s what they recommended for my specific application when I bought it.

    It sounds like you have specific field knowledge and I would love to learn! Please let me know how you know what you know so I can learn too!

    Larson Davis' own testing points to the fact the LXT only has a 30 micro second mic. It doesn't rise fast enough to capture the peak so it clips the top. It isn't always repeatable. Silencer Shop got tons of flack for using that meter and eventually switched.
