The PTR Vent 1 brings forward a highly advanced suppressor solution, crafted from 3D-printed titanium and designed to excel in both sound suppression and heat management for .30 caliber firearms. With Purposely Induced Porosity (PIP) technology, the Vent 1 directs gases effectively to reduce back pressure, allowing for smoother, controlled shots and minimal blowback. Its HUB-compatible mounting system offers customization across multiple platforms, making it a flexible choice for various shooting setups. Engineered to perform consistently under high use, the Vent 1 balances durability, sound reduction, and thermal stability.
Designed for firearm enthusiasts and professionals alike, the Vent 1 addresses two central issues that shooters encounter: effective sound suppression and ease of adaptability. Noise reduction and heat management are essential for comfort, control, and firearm maintenance. Unlike traditional suppressors, which often compromise one benefit for another, the Vent 1’s design offers both advanced sound signature reduction and reduced recoil, even in high-stress shooting conditions.
The Vent 1 is a high performance .30 caliber suppressor with Next Gen technology that elbows out many old school cans. Its PIP technology actively manages gas flow, leading to an extremely low sound signature and allowing the shooter to remain focused on the task without disruptions. The titanium construction provides a balance that you would expect from a world-class suppressor, in terms of weight, rugged durability and heat dissipation.
HUB compatibility allows flexibility to mix and match on different rifles a number of muzzle devices, or use direct thread connection. The shooter can remove the included direct thread adapter and switch to other mounts seamlessly, catering to personal preferences and specific shooting setups. This level of versatility is somewhat table stakes when looking for a premium silencer, and you know you are covered.
Whether used in professional environments or demanding training sessions, the Vent 1’s design helps shooters manage sound and heat effectively. It meets the needs of those seeking an adaptable, advanced suppressor with high precision, minimal recoil, and smooth handling, making it a practical choice for a range of shooting contexts.
The Vent-1 performs exceeding well in independent testing with Pew Science. In fact, the performance metrics are some of the best in its class. It performs most similarly to CAT's JL / A1 line, and also similar to the CGS Hyperion. It outperforms the popular Dead Air Sandman, Q Thunder Chicken and the PR30S from Otter Creek, by way of comparisons with some other popular suppressors.
While new patented technologies can often be viewed through a bit of a marketing lens in the firearms industry, the PIP design appears to be a next-generation step in the ever-changing 3-D printed suppressor evolution:
"This iteration of Purposely Induced Porosity (PIP) technology in the silencer, along with other portions of its design, represent further 3D-printed advancement in the suppressed small arms state of practice."

1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state.
2) Find your FFL… Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL and SOT to Charlie’s (Make them earn their fee!). Not every FFL is a SOT or Class 2 / Class 3 dealer.
3) Be patient! You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED ITEM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Suppressor page for more details.
