Looks like a super long screw on barrel extension for a shotgun?  I would think it would mess up the shot pattern but probably quiet down the noise too. :dunno:

yea but would require the subsonic ammo to be as effective as advertised, which would cut down on range a lot (at 900FPS 1 3/8 oz loads steel) I think..

Of course it will have less recoil. If I add ten pounds to my shotgun it would have less recoil also  :chuckle:

I have one. It's not heavy, nor awkward. I have no issue shooting low gun skeet with it on.  There is no issue with the pattern, it's a barrel extension.  It is threaded for choke tubes.  As far as noise reduction, it works but not as quiet as I'd like. 
If you'd like to try it, I shoot at Tacoma Sportsmans Club regularly.

That is a nice offer. Wish I was closer.

Nice offer
But had not seen before and was wondering if any one had one.

So what are the benefits beside lower recoil and noise.
Any difference in your effective range?
