Excuse me! Is that a suppressed Vector? Why yes, yes it is 😎 Packing up the gear from an afternoon at the range and someone down the line asked if that is a suppressed Vector. Of course, we had to let him get his hands on this gem before we left. He noted he had never shot suppressed before...until now! 😁 😏 His reaction to the BANISH 45 suppressor says it all.
