The story
Suppressor manufacturers have spent years chasing a tradeoff that additive manufacturing is starting to remedy. Typically, shaving weight off a can also leads to a reduction in its sound suppression capabilities. TENET released its smaller and obviously lighter Limited series around solving that problem for hunters willing to run a muzzle brake, and the approach worked well enough to turn heads at Outdoor Life's recent 100-plus suppressor test , where a prototype known informally as the Reserve posted the lowest average sound reading in the field at 8.3 ounces.
However, in parallel with that testing cycle, TENET was already moving the Reserve toward production. That work is now shipping, renamed as the VESPER Series , a 3D-printed Grade 5 titanium suppressor line in 6.5mm and .30 caliber options, and intended primarily for backcountry hunters.
