Sorry. I was going to say something here and things got away from me somehow. I do not see a way to get rid of my abandoned “post,” so I figured I would clarify things rather than leave an empty box, which presumably I would have done. S7
I just bought a used HW100 with a Tanto ldc, and I imagine the factory moderator was quieter. It is quiet, but still had a bit of muzzle noise. As a pure guess on my part, the HW mod is probably quieter. By the way, the HW100 KT is a really nice rig. Great trigger and balance. I actually think I want the S version also.
