CanCon 2023: PTR Archon Gen 1 & Gen 2, Vent Suppressor Line, & CT Series

Bill Gentry gives GunBroker.com a brief overview of the PTR Archon Gen 1 & Gen 2, Vent Suppressor Line, & PTR CT Series at CanCon 2023!


PTR Archon Gen 1 & Gen 2


One of the standout attributes of the PTR Archon Gen 1 & Gen 2 is the AF-Speedlock® system. Revolutionizing pistol mechanics, this patented breech locking system ensures that the barrel doesn’t tilt during the slide cycle but instead moves straight back by a few millimeters. This unique mechanism enables the entire slide of the firearm to nestle lower into the grip, resulting in a noticeable reduction in muzzle rise. The benefits? Shooters experience significantly less recoil and achieve faster target re-acquisition, ensuring each shot counts.  


PTR Vent Suppressor Line


The new, ultra-high performance patented VENT Suppressor utilizes the next generation of suppressor technology. The design features sintered titanium and patented Purposely Induced Porosity (PIP), which enables it to outperform nearly every competitor in the market with its unique combination of lightweight, heat dissipation, sound suppression, and back pressure reduction. These suppressors employ a 3D-printed, monolithic, body-to-core structure, increasing their structural integrity and thermal resilience. This revolutionary design eliminates failure points often associated with traditional suppressors.

Through the use of Purposely Induced Porosity (PIP), PTR’s engineers are able to finely tune the strength, density, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity of the VENT suppressors in ways that are beyond the capabilities of traditional manufacturing. This industry leading technology creates a new way to control the rapid expansion of gas that traditional baffle and flow through suppressors are unable to achieve, making the new line of VENT Suppressors truly cutting-edge and superior in the marketplace.

PTR CT line with Vent 2 Silencer


The VENT™ 2 utilizes a specific combination of the most advanced internal and external coatings, complementing the titanium’s already robust resistance to erosion and corrosion. The coating provides a barrier between the titanium body and the muzzle gasses, helping to minimize visual signature. Surface hardness is increased, and a low coefficient of friction is added, resulting in less carbon fouling and easier cleaning. The surface coatings also offer high-temperature resistance, ensuring each VENT suppressor stays protected throughout the firing schedule.


PTR Archon Gen 2

The Archon Firearms™ Gen 2, Type B Pistol by PTR™ builds on the success of the Gen 1, Type B, this innovative firearm introduces a groundbreaking grip system that truly stands out. With interchangeable grip textures and a unique modular design, this pistol can be customized not only to fit individual shooter grips but also allows for easy modification between full size, compact, and sub-compact configurations.
