Lenny Maglock looks reborn once he left CA to good ol Nashville

Not many Americans appreciate that in the UK we normally have suppressors on all our rifles, from .22 to full calibre 308 etc. If you forget to specify a suppressor for any new calibre that you are applying for on your licence, the Police licensing authority usually remind you to add it. Here it is regarded as a necessity under Health and Safety as head mounted hearing protectors do not always protect the hearing in all conditions. You cannot hunt deer on crown or forestry commission property without a suppressor fitted. We have also been able to purchase integrally suppressed shotguns for over 50 years. A popular model is an integrally suppressed Mossberg 500 in 410, 20 or 12 gauge.

A NUMBER of European countries REQUIRE the use of suppressors for both range and hunting. It is actually considered impolite (or unlawful) to NOT use one.

Repeal the NFA! Abolish the ATF

The safety feature alone is worth the price of admission. Reducing the noise reduced the impact on your hearing weather you are hunting or range shooting. They just make total sense

Its not a 20% change in amplitude, every 10 dB is 10X more than previous so a reduction of ~20dB is actually 100x quieter.

If the "tax stamp" suppose to be a governmental vetting process, then why aren't you allowed to have the suppressor in certain states even after the vetting? It's all a money racket!

Got a full tour of the store the other day. Seriously impressive.

All of my pillows have a tax stamp.

Pro tip: put a 19 lb recoil spring on your Glock 19 and that will delay the slide action by a little bit. It’s like going from carb to H buffer in an AR. It’ll give you a lot quieter performance. I did this on my Glock 19 with my SilencerCo 36M and it is insane! It’s far quieter

One of the best videos I’ve seen explaining the basics of suppressors/silencers.

A few years back, I purchased a Glock 21SF with a factory threaded barrel. For the life of me, I couldn't determine the thread pitch...it's not marked on the barrel, noted in the manual, or promoted anywhere on Glock's website/catalog. I attended an event at a local range where I met a Glock sales rep, and even he didn't know! FYI, it's 16x1 LF

A 20 dB reduction in sound from 120 to 100 (rounded) is drastically more than 20% because sound uses a logarithmic scale.

The thought of an RSO trying to confiscate my silencer really makes laugh.

The less my ears ring indoors after a self defensive event, the quicker I can get back to sleep 😴

Never take your paperwork or give your suppressor to anyone trying to "confiscate" it.

Hats off to Mr. Lenny McGill. You are one of the people who helped me fall in love with Glocks. I’ve watched the Glockstore videos for as long as I can remember. I even try to mimic your voice. Thank you sir. A true Glock pioneer 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Bruh the thought in Lenny’s brain ( and eyes ) when talking about “lefty tighty, righty loosey” killed me lmao. He is literally the man period. Money man has never heard of reverse threads..but his theory of why glock threaded barrels are reverse threaded had me rolling. What a legend bro. He could sell water to a shark.

So glad you are finally out of COMMIEFORNIA!

Glad I live in a state that allows the purchase of suppressors. I have two so far. One for my 556 AR and one for my G17 Gen 5. Great video, Lenny!

Great video…I fell in love with that MP5!!!

Can’t wait to come see the new and only Glock store I’ll go to !!

Decibels (tenths of a bel) use a logarithmic scale. One bel is a 10x difference in loudness, so 20 decibels is a 100x difference. Going from 118db to 98db is not a 20% reduction, it's a 99% reduction in sound level. Unfortunately, your ears perceive loudness on a logarithmic scale too (with a different base), so a 99% reduction probably sounds like a 75% reduction in loudness.

Was awesome meeting you at the store in Nashville a few days ago. Top notch facility for sure !

Very glad to see you get out of California.... CANT WAIT to go see the Nashville store...

This is a great video for anyone considering a suppressor. I bought a suppressor from the Silencer Shop for my 9mm Walter PPQ. It took about 10 months for me to get my suppressor. The actual sound suppression is about 30 dB. When I bought a threaded barrel for the Walther it came with a stronger recoil spring with instructions to use that spring when shooting with a suppressor. Using a 147 grain bullet I had issues with the action so I went back to the original recoil spring. You will get more blow back gasses with a suppressor so wear glasses. The Walther is my primary home defense weapon so if I had to use it inside the sound unsuppressed would degrade my ability to hear. One more thing, I think a suppressor works better on a gun were the barrel does not move.

Lenny is having fun again. Welcome Lenny

Cool video thanks Lenny!!🐐

Hello, Lenny, You are simply wonderful. Thank you.

One of his best videos

Should have used subsonic ammunition. That would have been interesting to hear the difference between subsonic and regular ammo.

The sound reduction in decibels is not the same as an equal percentage. 20 decibels is not 20 percent. It's more like an exponential curve.

I love the silence...

I can see there is some difficulty aligning the threads initially whenever you attach it. Depending upon the thickness and the angle of the initial slope of the lead in to the thread, in both or either of the interfacing devices, you can experience a drastic change in the feel of the threads engaging. Familiarity with your specific equipment does play a part too. Having said that, altering the machining profile of the lead-in to the thread in specific ways can allow you to effectively counter rotate the thread interface to align the thread lead-ins on both devices without excessive wear and tear to either device. To put that into more familiar terms or experience.Take a standard bottled beverage with a resalable cap. Remove it then place the cap at the end of the bottle while turning it the wrong direction. When the threads are properly aligned it will jump slightly then fall, allowing you to tighten them without misalignment. If the thread profile on the barrel and/or suppressor is designed well with a minimal, but tactile jump on an initial counter-rotation alignment step, you should be able to thread a suppressor reliably every time without excessive wear on either device.

Very nice presentation and info. I would add a shooting test with both 115 supersonic vs 147 or 158gr sub sonic.

That was fun, at the end! My wife even enjoyed it, she shot a P90 so appreciated keeping on target.

GREAT STUFF GREAT INFORMATION THANK YOU SIR.

Lenny is an amazing machine !

Fantastic video

I work ten mins away I hope you are there this Saturday, is the shop open for everything? I might have missed a update but I try not to mr McGill. Soooo very glad you came to our city

I like this guy personality 👍🏽

Great video Lenny, thanks. Conjugal visits LOL!!! The suppresor is nott reducing the sound by only 20% since decibel is a logarithmic scale the sound drop is much, much more.

Lenny is so awesome!

Great video

35 minute of video to say "yes", good job!

I have one suppressor that screws directly onto the barrel righty tighty (5.56) and I used a auto o-ring and it keeps it from coming loose. Literally never had to tighten it. My other one ratchets onto a compensator so it never comes loose either.

A Conjugal visit! My Gawd Lenny, that was frickin’ brilliant. Almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Man oh man that mp5sd. Can't wait till mine shows up.

Fantastic!!

Great Video Lenny. Living in Mass. can be a drag....

Love you Lenny 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I'm In NC but I'm Coming to Nashville to check out this facility. Be there Lenny!

31:25 lol. We do this very often at times of excitement with suppressors. (the thud of the ear protection hitting the ground)

Great vid! I’d like to see some accurate db levels with a good meter. Non-suppressed should be registering closer to 170db

Hiram Percy Maxim was also instrumental in creating the ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League.) An organization for Ham Radio.

My GEN5 G45 MOS FS with OEM Glock threaded barrel has 1/2 - 28 RH threads.

Kick ass videos!

30 years!!?! Time to stop robbing liquor stores suppressed! Thanks for the tip Uncle Lenny!!!

This gentleman can stretch any 02 minutes video to 10 minutes.

Haven't checked in on this channel is a couple years....you moved out of CA! Congrats! Let's get a location down in Florida now!!!

I would have liked to hear the comparison with subsonic ammo

Lenny’s such a pure soul

MP5s are so much fun! Sometimes I wish I lived in Tennessee.

Try it here in East TN in the hollows. Sounds like a cannon going off.

Do you have to get separate stamps for each suppressor? Great video, keep up the great work!

FYI. The decibel is a logarithmic scale, so a 20 dB difference is a 10x difference in amplitude.

Sweet new videos

Try the 147 subsonic.

I saw a guy SCREW ON a particular type of oil filter onto his threaded barrel & the shit actually screwed on no issue & deadened a lot of the sound when fired lol

Db is logarithmic so 10 dbs reduction is much more than 20 percent

147gr would have been nice to see/hear for comparison but overall excellent video! :-) PS: suppressed slowpoke .45ACP would be cool...

Wish you would have shown the decibel readings when you shot outdoors

Lenny has a way of selling products he has made me spend almost as much money as Hickok45 has hah but thanks to Lenny my Glocks are as functional as a Swiss Army knife and as reliable as a Rolex watch so thank you Lenny

I love that “A conjugal visit for your suppressor” The holes a little tight though

just discovered this channel

The difference is like an M80 down to a Fire Cracker in sound, hopefully some day they can suppress even more, what stops someone from being able to take to another state

There are suppressors that are nearly silent, at least to TV silent. They have an endcap swipe that blocks the escaping gasses. When used with subsonic ammunition, the first couple of rounds will be relatively silent (like TV suppressors). Unfortunately, ATF has designed the swipes as themselves as suppressors. You can buy the Ruger 10/22 with the suppressed barrel, shooting suppressed ammunition, is nearly (TV) suppressed out of box. E

Flexing that MP5 SD. I see ya Mr. Magill....

I know Lenny has the money but that phone holster is a bold choice. I’d be worried I’d break that thing in half everyday!

Glocks have an upward tilting barrel. Do suppressors cause premature wear and tear at the fulcrum point vs fixed barrels?

Suppressors for military is more for flash suppression. Js. Been there. Got the key chain and coffee mug

Hell Yes! Back Yard plinking…. !

Thank you for the history lesson and demo. However, I would like to see you shoot 5 consecutive rounds out a suppress Glock with subsonic ammo.

So then does the left hand thread pitch of the glock barrel prevent the suppressor from loosening?

Can you do a video using subsonic ammo with the Glock 19 with suppressor?

Seems like the suppressor makes the 9mm sound like a .22 long rifle. Hope to see you when I head north to TN someday soon.

Tip. Oil filters work also

Amazing video where can I order one of these for my Glock 26??

King you are GLOCK LIFE 😈🤘🏾

*DB's are measured using a logarithmic scale* That means a reading of 100db is *1,000,000,000 louder* than a reading of 10db. If a suppressor can take you down to the 90db range, that's good because that's about the same as city traffic.

Talking about a conjugal visit with a suppressor made me laugh!

With regard to UK - US expressions, here in the UK 'silencers' or moderators are commonly called 'cans' or suppressors. And, in general, are a fraction of the price you pay in the US, and a lot easier to get.

Lets start referring to them as Mufflers from now on it would redefine the image & associations the non shooting public have about these devices. Also best parts of video: START‐>25:35 when Lenny says "Gong" play‐‐>25:49 & for finale play ‐>25:43

God bless him for giving a history lesson.

Very interesting! I think it's one of the few gun related laws that are more lenient in France (and Europe for that matter). In France as long as you prove you own the gun legally, you can freely buy suppressors.

147 grain is what you need to use. Apply never seize to every part inside the suppressor, it makes it so easy to clean.

Isn’t the first round through a suppressor usually louder for some reason? Because of the lack of gases in it or something?

With I didn't have to wait to long to get one.

My 600w blender is 93db, I normally wear earplugs. So silenced gun is twice as loud.

Cheap “fluid entrapment device” suppressors come through Cali ports from China I heard from a friend with some 165 grain Hush sub sonic ammo it sounds just a hair quieter than an air nail gun roof installers use. Just my opinion.
