Gas: YHM R9 vs BOE Incolite 9
Indoor range:
Speer Lawman 115gr TMJ
First: R9
Second: Incolite 9
Bonus sound clip: YHM R9 suppressor outdoors, alternating PMC Bronze 147gr and Freedom Munitions Hush 165gr
To me, there’s a tad less gas coming out of the charging handle — my biggest Extar EP9 complaint — with the Incolite 9, but it’s still not exactly pleasant indoors.
Outdoors and shooting slow, they’re both about the same. 10 rounds in a row rapidly gassed me out enough to set the firearm down.
No video yet, but the Incolite 9 is quieter outdoors with both the PMC 147gr and the Hush 165gr, though it’s not a dramatic difference. There’s less port and first round pop, too.
I threw the R9 on a 16” AR and was actually impressed, but this was my first time shooting 5.56 suppressed. There was a lot less gas in my face with the AR15 than the Extar EP9.
