The IWS6K silencer is, in my opinion, the best of the five new silencers IWI released this year. I’m usually not a big fan of K cans, as they never perform as well as I hope, but this one was a shocker. The sound reduction was excellent. The felt recoil was also decreased, and with its reduced pathogen design, you don’t get a bunch of gas to the face. In fact, while I tested the entire line-up of silencers, I never experienced the typical gas to the face and eye-watering experience.
I dumped two magazines through a 16-inch AR-15 with the IWS6K and was thrilled by the silencer’s tone and sound. I could comfortably shoot without needing hearing protection. Compared to similar silencers on the market, the only real “con” of the IWS6K is that it’s heavier than most. The length of 4.9 inches was either on par with similar silencers or shorter than other K cans. Overall, I was really impressed by this silencer and had no issues with major POI shifts or dispersion. The reduction in felt recoil was excellent, and I think the value is worth the price tag.
