I like this stuff but it’s a non-starter when blazer TMJ 147gr is $15/box.
BurnerAcctThuggin@reddit
Blazer’s TMJ has been reported to have jacket separation. Meanwhile Federal Syntech has been fine.
Island08@reddit
By who?
malicious-turd@reddit
Cci themselves advise against using in ported barrels as the plating can shear off
volckerwasright@reddit
This is a new product, specifically advertised for suppressor use

Old_MI_Runner@reddit
Blazer Clear-Fire 147gr TMJ from Academy Chrono Results from Garmin at about 500 ft elevation and 60° F:
Extar EP9 with 6.5" barrel - 20 shots, 893 FPS Average, 913 FPS Max, 38.4 FPS Spread, Std Dev 9.9 FPS
Canik Rival with 5" barrel - 10 shots, 929 FPS Average, 951 FPS Max, 51.6 FPS Spread, 12.6 FPS Std Dev
Canik Rival with 3.18" barrel - 10 shots, 857 FPS Average, 882 FPS Max, 45.9 FPS Spread, 12.9 FPS Std Dev
So all the rounds were well below supersonic threshold.
Island08@reddit
How is the Canik 5” faster than the Extar?

This is why blind word of mouth is bad. Spreading misinformation regarding the new TMJ suppressor model
FuriousPenguino@reddit
Is that safe out of suppressors though?
Island08@reddit
Yes that’s the point
FuriousPenguino@reddit
I just looked on their website and it says “DO NOT USE IN FIREARMS WITH PORTED BARRELS OR PORTED RECOIL COMPENSATOR.”
Island08@reddit
There’s a risk for jacket shavings with all ported barrels unless they’re oversized and unrifled like the carry comp line.
Their FMJ bullets are plated, not jacketed, increasing this risk. TMJ has a thicker copper jacket.
Source: I dissected a 147 TMJ and a 115 FMJ
FuriousPenguino@reddit
Other blazer ammo can’t be used with suppressors, ports, or muzzle breaks so I didn’t know if the 147 was any different
Sea-Plankton-8673@reddit
They make a suppressor brand now
roadblocked@reddit
Is that subsonic?
Island08@reddit
Yes
Mahlegos@reddit (OP)
Don’t blame you, just posting for the people who will gobble it up. I know most people don’t, but if you qualify for expert voice this stuff is a lot more palatable price wise. I did buy a few boxes to try out to see what all the hype is about.
Island08@reddit
Oh yeah that’s fair. 💄rounds are fun suppressed.
DUCK_FACE_JONES@reddit
thats it im converting my ap5 to an SD, fck these sub prices
Mahlegos@reddit (OP)
Look into expert voice. Brings it down to a much more reasonable CPR. If you don’t qualify already through work/mil or even some other avenue the easiest way is joining the American suppressor association for $35 a year and you’ll make that back if you order at least a few boxes of this one time.
osirhc@reddit
Mannnn the rollercoaster that was seeing 150gr syntech followed by 54cpr was wild. I love this stuff but I'm not paying more than HST prices for it, that's crazy
Mahlegos@reddit (OP)
I agree crazy CRP without discount. I’m posting for the people who have expert voice though, which brings it down to a much more palatable number. People have posted here the easiest way to qualify if you don’t through work/mil or other.
Subverto_@reddit
Who is paying 60 cpr (after tax and shipping) for 9mm range ammo?
Makemeathrowawaypls@reddit
You're paying for ammo that doesn't gunk the shit out of your gun and remains subsonic with suppressed shooting
TheMoves@reddit
You can get Speer Lawman TMJ 147s for under 30cpr
Makemeathrowawaypls@reddit
Lawman can go super in PCC barrels and you can get Syntech for 30cpr (at least that's what I got it for from Lanbos last year). This post is just an in-stock notification for people who pay MSRP.
Mahlegos@reddit (OP)
It’s mostly an instock notice for people with expert voice accounts who can get it for similar prices to other sub sonic ammo.
sleepysaguaro@reddit
Current dealer price on Syntech is 32-33cpr just a heads up
TheBlackComet@reddit
I've been on the lawman train for years. Love that stuff. Not always subsonic out of longer barrels, but I only worry about that on my full sized MP5.
BurnerAcctThuggin@reddit
I’ve shot thousands of rounds of Speer lawman 147. It’s not true subsonic. You will still get cracks when shooting. It’s hotter shit.
TheMoves@reddit
Maybe I'm not shooting it out of long enough barrels but I've never had a round go supersonic in thousands of rounds myself. That said the longest barrel I shoot it out of is an AP5
SecretAgentBob07@reddit
Clean your shit. Problem solved. My suppressed kuna fires pmc bronze 147 sub and remains sub for a LOT fucking cheaper.
fft32@reddit
The price is too high (I paid probably 35-40cpr last year) but this isn't just basic range ammo. It's considered one of the best subsonic ammo choices.
BurnerAcctThuggin@reddit
ExpertVoice got me 750 rounds for $265 shipped. I just paid .32 CPR lol
fft32@reddit
Wow that's a much bigger discount than I expected. Unfortunately I don't qualify for it
BurnerAcctThuggin@reddit
Join American suppressor association I think. You’ll get a free account to ExpertVoice for 35 a year.
HowAboutNitricOxide@reddit
Real deal in the comments as always
fft32@reddit
That's awesome, I had no idea. Thanks!
Old_MI_Runner@reddit
The most recent posting I found on this subreddit for a good price on 150gr Syntech is from April 9th, 2025 for 34 CPR if buying 500 rounds as shown in the following posting:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/comments/1jvf32f/ammo_federal_american_eagle_syntech_9mm_150gr/
Last year and preferably up through August 2025 may have been the best time to get ammo.
Psychological-Drive4@reddit
Not folks with Expert Voice
Cobra-2-Sierra@reddit
You get ammo deals on expert voice?
Gold_Map_236@reddit
I can just buy HSTs at that point
Berry_Micockiner@reddit
MP5 owners
Subverto_@reddit
I have an SP5 and SP5K-PDW and I don't shoot 60 cpr ammo.
Berry_Micockiner@reddit
Look in that sub. They go Full Regard for 147/150 grain ammo and vintage stick mags.
Subverto_@reddit
Half that sub puts airsoft parts on their Turkish clones. I don't think they're buying 60 cpr ammo either 😂
tjcarbon9@reddit
And MPX owners (me)
swooshZ0691@reddit
Nobody lol you can get non-duty hst for 40cpr and pmc bronze 147 rn for 30cpr
Mahlegos@reddit (OP)
It gets bought out every time it’s posted and no one can keep it on stock so there’s gotta be some folks. The pricing is also a lot better, on par with other sub sonic stuff, if you qualify through expert voice.
benevolentbearattack@reddit
Is there a significant difference between the 150gr and 147gr? Cause you can get the purple 147gr syntech for 35-37cpr fairly regularly.
DUCK_FACE_JONES@reddit
is the deal in the room with us now
Ok_Sentence_448@reddit
Anyone have any other relatively clean subsonic recommendations?
If this is what the prices are looking like for this stuff from here on out, I’m just gunna switch ammo altogether
Psychological-Drive4@reddit
This stuff is fantastic! https://www.millsammunition.com/9mm
evnrayash@reddit
Pass. I just tested the new blazer 147 subsonic clean fire. Very close to the syntech. $15 a box at academy
BurnerAcctThuggin@reddit
ExpertVoice got me 750 rounds for $265 shipped. Fire
na91100@reddit
Bought this for $15 a box from lanbos not even two years ago :’)
Bromad244@reddit
In for 31 boxes
ramblinscooner@reddit
Expensive but is so much fun suppressed in a pcc. And all my pistols are so much smoother with it.
PretendIndependent6@reddit
Great ammo. Terrible price
Mahlegos@reddit (OP)
Agree on the price. No idea why it jumped so much from what it used to be. This post is mainly for the folks who qualify for expert voice. I’m not sure how people would justify buying otherwise.
Mahlegos@reddit (OP)
Not a deal, just a in stock notification.
