Mine with red dot and green laser. Just walked around the chicken pen and tagged two rats using the laser shooting from the hip. Totally badass pesting rig!

Huben pistol.

Damn good question Mike and one that I'm interested in myself. I have not got mine out to shoot yet because of my eye surgery crap but I'd love to plug that hole up.

M0ist0ne,
That sounds pretty quiet compared to whatever the pellet is hitting. When there is no sound calibration, I judge sharpness, duration and echo. It scores well on all three, suggesting it is quiet. It certain sounds inoffensive. I would have been great to have a bare muzzle comparison, but I am more curious about this:
In one of your other videos, you speak of a 3D printed sleeve over a muffler. If you have 3D printing capability, it would be very much appreciated if you would print one of my muffler designs, and evaluate it against what you have. I am not hung up about instrument numbers, but impressions matter a great deal.
Here is the AGN forum attachment link for the zipped STLs for my offset muffler design:

Anyone found a holster yet? And how many GK1 owners are comfortable wearing this loaded gun on your hip or across your chest? How comfortable are you with the safety?
I think a lot of folks are going to be shooting through plenty of lead with this gun.

Gun to big for any hip holster I have tried, Maybe if you don't set down it would be OK. I have a shoulder bag that it fits in pretty good be OK for truck use , Or my dirt bike for rattle snake hunting , I have not been able to try either one with the gun but I will see if I can get a picture up of the shoulder bag, No moderator on with gun in holster or shoulder bag.

Yeah, it's pretty quiet vs other moderators I have tried on it. And for sure, I planned on trying to get your design printed this weekend. I do have a cheap db meter, so I would like to do a comparison that's not just with my ears.
At least can see the relative difference between other mods using the same meter/testing conditions. I'll try to record the testing as well.Upvote 0
Thanks;
If you can capture the different contenders on video from the same vantage point, that would be instructive also for sound "quality".

You bet!
I normally mount the meter on a tripod and pew from a stationary rest so things are as 'equal' as can be. For this, I'd mount a GoPro another tripod.

I really, really want this pistol,
I need to make one more big push to sell my guns
Yes, Manny, it's got your name written all over it.
It really does — look closely on the front section of the barrel.
It's even in capital letters:
M A N N Y
Wishing you all the best for getting the necessary dough together, bro.

Upgraded the case to a larger pistol case
As you can see by the little puncture marks my dog decided to start customizing the foam before me. I thought the mail man delivered it to the wrong house until I found it laying in the yard lol.

Just a friendly heads up to be very careful NOT to let the reservoir pressure get too low (below 150 bar) when using a 3D printed suppressor or other weaker types of materials. I blew up two in a row because of the GK1 attempting to dump all of the air when the reservoir pressure got too low. That probably caused some hearing damage… It appears my current design is strongest at the threaded insert portion, I need to offset the voids inside the suppressor below the bore line, and possibly decrease or eliminate the gap between the walls of the suppressor and the infill pattern.
What do you think @subscriber, should I try to strengthen the bond between the walls and the interior infill pattern or leave it as is so that if it does burst due to letting the reservoir pressure go too low, it may be less explosive?

Thanks, you just reminded me. I've been thinking to make one and decided now is the time. I used 1/2" UHM black rod and reduced it to 6.9mm x 35mm, cut O-ring grove at 33.5 mm from shoulder so I can put O-ring by the shoulder also.

There we go, that’s better! It still failed, but not nearly as explosively and it might be fixed by simply offsetting the voids in the infill pattern.
The problem causing it to be so weak was the infill not attaching firmly to the walls when using Prusa Slicer (which I’m not as familiar with), not a problem in Cura. The new printer I got for high speed production (Qidi X Max 3 40% faster than X Plus 1) relies on a fork of Prusa Slicer, so I’ll need to make some tweaks to the model, tweaks in the slicer, or give up some cool features with the Prusa forked slicer and use Cura to generate g code instead.
I think this might actually prove to be a net benefit that these GK1s dump all the air near the end, because now I have an effective and repeatable method for over pressure testing all of my moderators.
For the safety Nazis, I’m putting on safety goggles, hearing protection, a face shield, gloves, a hoodie, a jacket, and placing a 55 gallon drum between my body and the pistol when blowing these up now. Doing my best not to take any chances. But holy hell is it loud when one of these fail because of a reservoir dump. Hopefully I won’t get a visit from the cops from the sound. 
*Edit, I have no idea where the end piece went, lol. Probably landed somewhere behind in the forest after bouncing up the hill.

I assume the dump is happening with dry firing?There we go, that’s better! It still failed, but not nearly as explosively and it might be fixed by simply offsetting the voids in the infill pattern.

With JSB .25 33.95 gr pellets. It also happens when dry firing, but that only takes one shot to empty the reservoir it seems. In this case, it's dumping a larger amount of air than it should for 2-3 shots (when using pellets) since there is still some back pressure from the pellet to help reseal the valve I think.

900 FPS with 38.5 gr .254 NSA slugs (69.26 ft-ibs), I haven't chronied any of the others yet with this tune, however none of them sound like they are breaking the sound barrier, even the 25.4 grainers.
