Future guests? Been getting some requests from folks that want to be on the podcast and also from listeners about desired guests.

Just completed a huge test series and added a significant number of tests to our database…. The data hasn’t all been processed yet but wow – we tested some popular silencers.

Some answers to some of your questions since last time.

Subgun silencers – who is using them, and why?

Episode 10 - Review 6.2, Our Supporters, 3rd Party Testing, 300BLK, and PDWs (16-APR-2020) Apr 15, 2020

Show notes

Hello everyone! Welcome to episode 10 of the Jay Situation Podcast. 10 episodes! That’s neat, right? I really enjoy doing these and the feedback from you folks so far is that you enjoy it too, so that seems like a win-win. Thanks for listening!

Last time we covered a lot of ground. Today, I’m going to continue some of last week’s discussions and also move into some new topics.

On today’s agenda, there are five main topics:

1. Sound Signature Review 6.2 – The Rugged Oculus on a subcompact .22 pistol

2. Thanks to members and supporters of PEW Science

3. Testing from other sources and some new online silencer community exposure

4. 300 BLK – barrels and components for the AR platform

5. Personal Defense Weapons

Episode 9 - Health, 9mm Pistol Silencer Hosts, 300 BLK, and PDWs (08-APR-2020) Apr 07, 2020

Show notes

Quick note in these current interesting times - I’m a firm believer in a sound mind through a sound body. Strength is important. It might be one of, if not the most important things to stay healthy, long term. Stronger people are harder to kill – their bodies just work better as they get older and have better quality of life. If you have never strength trained – look into it. It will change your life, I promise.

Today’s Topics:

There is a new review dropping very soon. Maybe tomorrow. Stay tuned. You’re gonna like it. Thanks to all of you who have joined PEW Science! You guys are the best, and you’re really pushing the industry forward by supporting us – super important stuff, and you guys are amazing. Had a conversation with a few manufacturers today regarding their testing needs – very cool!

Pistols for silencers. Let’s talk semi-auto 9mm.

300 blackout. That’s right. I’m finally building one. We’ll talk barrels, which is probably one of the most important parts.

Compact small personal defense weapons (PDWs).

Episode 8 - Sound Signature Review 6.1 - Rugged Oculus on CZ452 (31-MAR-2020) Mar 31, 2020

Show notes

On the previous episode, I talked about the Silencer Sound Standard, the Suppression Rating, and Sound Signature Reviews. Hopefully you’ve had a chance to check out the website and peruse all that – if you haven’t, or if you didn’t listen to that episode, definitely check it out!

So there are a few things I wanted to cover today:

1. Response to the release of The Standard

2. An interesting observation about online culture and its evolution

3. Nonsensical silencer test results and claims

4. The Oculus on a rifle

Check out the Silencer Sound Standard and this first review!

Episode 7 - The Silencer Sound Standard (27-MAR-2020) Mar 26, 2020

Show notes

This is a very special episode. It’s actually special for several reasons. First of all, I’m recording this on March 25, 2020 – in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic.

I hope all of you listeners out there, and your loved ones, are doing well in this crazy time.

Over the past year, I’ve put forth significant effort into research, development, and testing of suppressed small arms. Rather than continue to wait on this announcement, I have made the decision to go forward and not delay improvement to the state of practice any longer than it has already been delayed.

That brings me to the second reason why this episode is so special. Today, I am excited and proud to announce the launch of the Silencer Sound Standard!

Episode 6 - Listener Questions, Part 1 (29-May-2019) May 30, 2019

Differences between 30 caliber dedicated silencers and 5.56 caliber dedicated silencers.

Interview status with Ron Allen.

What place does additive manufacturing (3D printing) have in the silencer industry?

Additive manufacturing (3D printing) in the gun industry, in general.

Questions regarding my educational background and what I wanted to do, originally.

Thanks so much for listening - Part 2 is coming! These were great questions, so keep more coming and I’ll definitely get to them.
