Hush Point 30 Ti Suppressor

Hi-Point Firearms has been expanding their product line significantly. Recently they came out with a line of suppressors called Hush-Point. In the Hush-Point line they are making 22LR, 9mm, 45, and a 30 caliber suppressor. I received one of the Hi-Point Hush-Point 30 Ti suppressors to review. I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of the Hush-Point 30 Ti.

This is a suppressor review, but I will not have any recorded sound data in this review. All you get is what it sounds like to me and other people around me. Db meters cost too much money and do not really tell the whole story. They just are not a real world application. Also, now that suppressors are either a zero dollar tax stamp, or available on a 4473, the ability to get them is just as easy as buying a rifle or handgun. I consider them hearing safety devices, just like earplugs, but better.

Hush Point 30’s can be had in two configurations. Either the 30 Inc, or the 30 Ti. Both are for 30 caliber or smaller cartridges. The 30 Inc is made from Inconel and is “full auto rated”. The 30 Ti is titanium construction and also not “full auto rated”. I will be talking about the 30 Ti, since that is what I have. However, the 30 Inc version is exactly the same construction, except for the material used. So the review should carry over if you are looking for a FA rated suppressor. Both suppressors are a flow through design to help reduce back pressure. This also helps with sending less gas into the shooter's face, which is a really good thing. The Hush-Point 30‘s were designed by Hi-Point’s engineers, making the Hush-Point 30 unique to Hi-Point. It is not a white label suppressor, where their name is just printed on it, like a lot of the suppressors coming out these days.

Many companies are going to additive manufacturing for suppressors. Hi-Point uses this for the Hush Point 30. Additive manufacturing has a bunch of benefits for suppressor design. The biggest benefit is that it allows for designs that regular machining can not do. This allows Hi-Point to manufacture a flow through style suppressor that uses their "intermittent flow technology”. This flow technology allows the Hush Point suppressor to have less back pressure than a standard machined style suppressor while still giving it great noise reduction. That gives you and me less gas blowback into our face as well as less wear on the firearm.

The Hush Point 30 Ti is a medium sized suppressor. Hi-point specs the Hush Point at 6.5 inches long, but in reality it is 7 inches long with the end cap and HUB adapter. Yes, it uses standard HUB adapters so you can run it with whatever system you want to. It does come with 2, yes 2, direct thread HUB adapters. A ½-28 and a ⅝-24 which allows you to install it on most 30 caliber rifles, as well as most 6mm and 5.56 rifles. It comes with 2 wrenches for removal and installation of the HUB adapters. These wrenches also are sized to remove the front cap. Diameter on the Hush Point 30 is 1.75 inches, which seems to be pretty common on HUB compatible suppressors. As far as weight is concerned, the Hush Point 30 is not super heavy since it is constructed from titanium. Hi-Point specs the Ti version at 7.6 ounces. My scale weighed it at 8.25 without the HUB adapter and 10.75 with the HUB adapter. The supplied HUB adapters are stainless steel, so if weight is a huge concern for you, there are lighter HUB adapters out there. Now for the listed caliber ratings, remember the 30 Ti is not full auto rated: 300 Win. Mag and below, including 6.5 CM, 300 BLK, 7mm, 5.56mm, and 5.7x28. This is just a short list as others will work also.

I have been happy with the Hush Point 30 Ti. It sounds really good to me as well as various other people. It did have some sparks and flash for the first couple magazines on a 556 rifle, but that is normal for titanium printed suppressors. The sparks subsided after that and are not noticeable anymore. The 30 Ti has a low tone and suppresses the sound quite well. I compared it to 4 other suppressors I have, same ammo, same guns, same day. On the 308 bolt gun, the 30 Ti sounded good with a low tone. 308 Win always seems to suppress well in a bolt action. It was a little louder than the much larger suppressor I use on the 308, but that was expected being that it has less volume. I then switched over to a 300 blackout 8.5 and 10.5 inch barreled AR15’s. With supersonic ammo the 30 Ti was still respectably quiet and about the same as my other 30 cal suppressor. Now with subsonic 300 blk, the Hush Point was a huge hit. It was super quiet and the intermittent flow technology allowed the 300 blk AR to function fine. Now onto the 14.5 inch 6mm ARC. I have a dedicated flow 6mm suppressor on this rifle. When I installed the Hush Point 30, it was definitely quieter than my dedicated flow through 6mm suppressor. The tone seemed about the same as the other 6mm suppressor, but the 30 Ti’s sound wasn’t as deep sounding as it was on the 308. Now onto a 16 inch 556 rifle. I compared it to my son's 30 caliber suppressor as well as my old 556 suppressor. The Hush Point was definitely quieter than both of them and the tone was definitely easier on the ears. That old 556 suppressor has a higher pitch to it, so the lower tone of the 30 Ti was nice. Point of Impact (POI) shift seemed to be very negligible on everything the Hush Point was used on. Which is good if you swap the suppressor around like I was doing. All of the suppressors that I compared the Hush Point 30 Ti to, except the bolt gun suppressor, were close to the same physical size as to give a better overall comparison. I was impressed with the Hush Point’s ability to suppress smaller calibers well, especially the 6 ARC.

Suppressors are so easy to get nowadays and there are a ton of options. The Hi-Point Hush Point 30 Ti is one of those that has a great value to performance ratio. It gives you Intermittent Flow technology for improved performance on semi-auto firearms. It is lightweight, It comes with extra mounting adapters so you can use it on multiple platforms. And most important, it suppresses sound well and sounds good to the ear. If you are looking for a multi caliber style suppressor, or just a dedicated lighter weight suppressor, the Hush Point 30 Ti might be a good fit. You can check it out at Hi-Point Firearms.
