Why We Chose the PTR Vent 2

The 9mm suppressor category is packed with options, but none performed as well in sound suppression, gas management, and overall versatility as the PTR Vent 2. Designed for both pistol-caliber carbines (PCCs) and handguns, this suppressor proved to be the best overall performer in real-world testing.

What Made the PTR Vent 2 Stand Out?

• Incredible Sound Performance – In Rob’s testing, the Vent 2 delivered the quietest experience across 9mm hosts, outpacing competitors with its deep tone and minimal first-round pop.
• Low Back Pressure on PCCs – Many 9mm suppressors struggle with excessive gas blowback when used on PCCs, but the Vent 2 manages low back pressure exceptionally well, making it comfortable for extended shooting sessions.
• Versatility Across Platforms – The Vent 2 provided consistent and reliable suppression on most 9MM platforms we tested with no cycling issues.

How It Compared to Other Suppressors

The PTR Vent 2 stood out for its superior tone and gas management, making it the clear winner in the 9mm category.
