This week I'm joined by Jacob Albaugh and Mike Herne of TENET, the Dayton, Ohio company building direct-thread titanium suppressors, around one question: why should a hunter have to choose between a muzzle brake and a can? Jacob got into the industry by way of a hard-kicking .30-06 and a welder, and that path led to a prototype that posted the lowest average sound reading of more than 100 suppressors in Outdoor Life's suppressor and brake test. We get into that test, the HORIZON brake system, and the production version of that prototype, the new VESPER series.

Russell Phagan TFB Behind the Gun #231: Derrick Ratliff of Horizon Firearms TFB Behind the Gun #238: Jacob & Mike of Tenet SuppressorsJacob Albaugh and Mike Herne of TENET join Luke to talk about building hunting suppressors that cut recoil without the weight and length penalty of a traditional brake-and-can setup. Jacob explains how a former ATV racer trying to tame a punishing rifle ended up producing 3D-printed Grade 5 titanium suppressors in Dayton, Ohio, and why additive manufacturing lets TENET build internal geometry a CNC machine can't cut. The guys cover the recoil-first Limited series, the HORIZON 1-port and 2-port brakes and how to time them, the Outdoor Life test that put TENET's Reserve prototype on the map, and the quiet-first VESPER series that grew out of it.Follow TENET:Website: https://www.tenet.incInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/tenetinc/ Listen right here at TFB: Listen to Behind The Gun on TFB – https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/podcast/Listen on Apple Podcasts: Listen to Behind The Gun on Apple Podcasts – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tfb-behind-the-gun-podcast/id1505843385Listen on Spotify: Listen to Behind The Gun on Spotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/5riFj2wJFloCtoKzvCc4ml?si=V-JiLBcXQSKw6cdtWzqdTwPlease support our Behind The Gun Podcast sponsors:Silencer Shop – www.silencershop.com If you’ve said that buying a silencer is too expensive, too long of a wait, or that the paperwork is too confusing, you’re not alone.
