Donny FL Sumo Review

[JoeWayneRhea]

Hey guys here is the Donny FL Sumo video I've been meaning to make for a while . When the shooting starts the decibel reading at the bottom shows you JUST how quiet this Moderator really is !!!

Great video! I have 2 Donnyfl a sumo and tanto and honestly I don’t like to shoot without one.

Great video. I would like to hear what they sound like from the front maybe halfway to the trap. I own 3 of his mods Sumo, Tanto, and Koi. My wife says it's loud when she's off to the side and out front of me. Not that I could trust her to shoot it so I could hear it. Right?! LOL

I have a sumo for my vulcan but I got the ronin and use in now. Honestly if there is a difference I cannot tell. I guess I could test it with a DB meter. I just like the look of the ronin better on the vulcan. Nice review. You can really hear the difference and that shot at 50 yards with and without. Without there was a big echo and with it was nice and quite.

Nice video JWR, I love my Sumo from DonnyFL

@n2stuff, I would let my wife shoot with anything in the front of her. She would miss the target but not the DBmeter or whatever wasn't supposed to be hit.

I'm more worried about ME getting hit. I have been letting her shoot some BB guns on the side of our house and that's scary enough. She's getting better and having fun but I'm not brave enough to stand in front of her even way off to the side. LOL

Nice video JWR! I have a Sumo and a Emperor v3 and I can't imagine shooting without them. Shout out to SPAW and Ken as well.

Nice video!

You should consider getting hold of STO and asking him to send you one of his new Levitas mods for review too. From his awesome design thread and very thorough, scientific testing it looks fantastic - looking forward to mine arriving.

Nice report Joe.

It's sometimes hard to tell from a video, but the four I've had, Sumo then Tatsu then Tanto and KOI.....they are all super quiet in 22 and 25 caliber.

I've missed pigeons at 50yds only to have them sit there for a second or even third shot.

My next suppressor will be the FX model.

Sumo and Emperor for the win. They continue to cover all my needs. They silence all my neighbors, I mean guns.

JoeWayneRhea, thanks for sharing your reviews. I always love watching them!

Video doesn't lie. 

This is a rough unedited video clip so it's a bit shaky, but it's only 1 minute long.

This was in my early stages with air rifles, so that should explain the not so great shooting!

FX Streamline 22 shooting JSB 15.89gr at high power using the DonnyFL Tatsu. These pigeons didn't even flinch. And to think the Sumo is even quieter!!

What other proof does someone need in order to be convinced that Donny's suppressors are the best?

RONIN, EMPEROR V3, & EXTENDER user here..

I can't speak highly enough about Donny's products! IMO, they're simply The Best! 
And, Donny is a killer guy, so I also like to support him and his products as much as I can.

[This is definitely the right thread to re-post this] 

As a photographer, I need to be as absolutely quiet as possible when doing animal / nature shots..
There's nothing worse than loud shutter clicks and auto-focus motors scaring away the furry woodland creatures.. 

What better way to quiet down my equipment even more than to use one of DonnyFL's DSLR Lens to 1/2"-20 UNF adapter.. 
That lets me install my suppressors right on the end of my lenses, and boy does that ever quiet things down..

The 25 cal bore size also limits enough ambient light to allow for really cool pin-hole-cam special effects..

excellent video

Joe, love your videos and presenting style, always puts a smile on my face. Keep up the no BS reviews man

I have owned a Hugget for both my air rifles. I knew a moderator was needed to be backyard friendly. On the Daystate Wolverine B with its long shroud it was very quiet. The Wildcat was not bad with a Hugget but I tried the Sumo reading so much about them. I was astounded how quiet it became. Mine is a .25 on the .22 Wildcat.

With a LDC it will always be more quiet vs not using one. What I want to know, and I'm sure others do too. Is how donnyfl compares to other LDC. I'm guessing pretty much the same. And even if it's difference. The human ear wouldn't be able to tell them apart. Not bashing donnyfl LDC. I'm sure they are good, but way over priced compare to others out there. His is in the $150-250 range. 

 

[Bob_O]

The only answer is to try one.

I've tried five if his and all are/were exceptional.

Totally agree! With one of this, the sound of the pellet traveling through the air is louder! Totally worth it, but not just the LDC, everything that Donny does is top of the line. The liberty rifle came and in a few weeks he has an adapter ready.
