Does anyone know if the shroud on the panthera and panthera compact are used for sound moderation ?

They are but the devil is in the details. The shroud is part plenum and part “moderator” and the ratio varies by model. For example, the 600 and 700 have the same plenum, so the 700 has more “moderator” component. The 500 has a smaller plenum and “moderator” component similar to the 700. Then more variability (which someone else would have to explain) with the Hunter compacts.

I understand the over barrel plenum and the different sizes /powers of them ,what I'm wanting to know is there an air stripper towards the muzzle that vents into the shroud for sound moderation.i have looked at the parts diagram for the panthera on fx website but can't really tell if the end cap has the cutouts in it like the maverick and wildcat.

I think isn't the barrel back a ways from the end of the shroud I can't remember for sure though if it is then it's using at least some of it

Yes there IS an air stripper at the end of the barrel that vents into the shroud, having a sound moderating effect.

Is there a stripper at the end of the normal pantheras? I have an hunter compact and all it has at the end is a disk to center the shroud to the barrel. Seems to me like a wasted opportunity to strip some air and make it quieter.

Ok. To clarify my dynamic has the disc to center the shroud around the barrel. However the barrel stops short of the end of the shroud so the air is released inside the shroud at the shot thus trapping the air inside having a dampening effect. This is what I was thinking of as an air stripper, but may not be what you would call an air stripper.

I guess given it's definition it technically would be considered an air stripper since it exits the barrel and it goes into a narrow opening leaving air behind it temporarily atleast until the projectile leaves. But it definitely doesn't quiet it down.
