Well I finally got to take my new AWC Titanium Abraxas out to the range to try again on my P99 Tactical and my USP 9mm SD Tactical.
Results with the P99 were ..... OUTSTANDING!
No failures to feed or chamber this time. At ALL. Worked like a champ. I guess the brown reduced recoil spring needed some breaking in (shot it a few times previously without the suppressor). Quiet, although not "silent" if shot out in the open. NOT so quiet when shot under a tin roof !
Some initial failures to feed properly with the USP 9mm SD, but they worked themselves out after about 20 rounds. To be fair, it was the first time the SD had been shot - period. Probably wasn't fair to shoot it right off the bat without breaking it in at all. But it worked fine by the time I was done.
Verdict: Titanium Abraxas is very nice, light, no need for the extra length/weight of the recoil booster.
Ammo Verdict: The IMI 158gr Subsonic stuff is the quietest. The Winchester 147gr Subsonic Match stuff is just a little louder.
Both worked great. Even shot some 115gr Winchester and if I freshly greased the Abraxas, it was pretty quiet too!
Fun day at the range! Also, the first time I shot my new MP5 but that's another story for another board!
Regards,
James
