This is a one-minute clip from the full video at https://youtu.be/aGeUsgdd3Ts This 20-year SWAT veteran with 11-years of MP5 experience evaluates three suppressors on MP5 platforms. The three suppressors are: Silencerco Omega 9K Dead Air Wolf 9SD Acadian Armament D9 Find out more about the D9 at https://www.acadianarmament.com/defender-9mm-d9

SWAT team members evaluate three suppressors for the MP5. Two of these suppressors are well-recognized names. One is a new player and uses a completely different suppression technology. You can see the full evaluation at https://youtu.be/AZ4V-Qk8kB4

This one's a little longer than we like to publish, but there's a lot of info here. In this video series, we ask very experienced shooters to compare the Acadian Armament D9 suppressor to top-tier conventional suppressors recommended for use with the MP5. In this evaluation, a LE agency SWAT armorer and team members familiar and practiced with the MP5 put three suppressors through the wringer on the full and K versions of the MP5. These weapons are Zenith Z-5RS and Z-5P. D9 - The suppressor made for the MP5.

David O'Donnell is shooting the MP5 for the first time. In two installments, you see his initial impression of the D9 and the host platform, and then his evaluation of other performance aspects of the weapon system.

David O'Donnell shares his observations and opinions of the Dead Air Wolf 9SD, the Silencerco Omega 9K, and the D9 on the MP5 platforms. One remarkable moment is when David compares the sound attenuation abilities of the suppressors. We could discuss it further here, but you'll most likely get more out of the video. David is a good evaluator; he's a practiced and experienced shooter, he's managed a gun shop selling suppressors, he's a sales rep in the sporting goods industry, and he's a straight shooter (yes, it's a pun).

"I put all three bullets through the exact same hole!" Watch the muzzle action on this Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor with a Pantera on the end. Sometimes, you just don't have a spotter. On long shots in unfamiliar terrain, seeing the bullet impact allows immediate identification of POI to quickly adjust POA if a second shot is needed.

This agency was frustrated with attempts to match a suppressor to their 7.5"AR pistol platform. Size, performance, cycling reliability and consistency, recoil and muzzle management, blow-back, accuracy, etc. were deal-killers for every option...then came Defender. The armorer, range master, operator and even the captain were all amazed with what that small and simple device could do. Take a look at their candid reactions.

This expert thought he was evaluating Defender on the basis of sound attenuation. What we wanted to know is his impression of handling and gas blow-back. He was very surprised.
