Favorite suppressor?

[baboon]

A few people were burned when their unconditional warranty was suddenly no longer unconditional.
They still make good cans for a great value.

I would never buy another one. When I contacted YHM about a different booster the guy said he was going to hook me up. Turned out what he sent was not a booster or anything that I could use.

I find it really pretty crappy of them. You know most everything the make is on a CNC program. Why not just dig it out & crank one out? I'd bet they have a machine that the use for R&D that is not being used in production.

I only have two. A Sparrow and a Trash Panda that i just got out of jail in August. Very impressed with them both. I did install the Q Cherry Bombs on the 5.56 and .308 platforms. I think its a great system.

My favorite 30 cal suppressor is my Varminter 3.0 (Mack Brothers / Dakota Silencer). I also have two Thunder Beast that are great.
I love my Spectre II rimfire suppressor, and also have three Form 1 suppressors that work really well - one rimfire and two that I use on my 40 cal carbines.

I have often said it makes sense to buy a F/A rated suppressor, as you never know..

Holds up better to rapid fire, generally tougher cans. I ran a non-fa rated pistol can with a PCC adapter on my Banshee MG and didnt melt it. Then i got my new demo Phoenix and it is excellent, selling my old demo pistol can lol

I've beaten the shit out of my Surefires.

From questionable hosts, to making them glow and cooling them off with water, to launching them off my rifle on purpose. And they just keep on ticking

I've had no issues with my dead air cans off a 13.7 SOLGW nox host. I've been considering getting more from other manufactures but im honestly over the wait time.

I try to spread my demo suppressors around different brands to try a variety.

Interesting thread, as I am currently trying to decide what to buy to use between my AR10 and bolt 308, as well as needing a separate can for my 45acp carbine.
Keep the recommendations coming.

Only going to mention that my Knights suppressor build specifically for an HK MK23 doesn't stay on properly and actually blew off one time.
Called knights about it.
"Send it and $150 we'll take a look at it and give you an estimate".
So $150 won't fix it ?
"No".

Screw Knights.

I would love to try a Hux 7.62! Next time I’m up your way, I’ll let you know..

Gemtech Mist integral on a 10/22 is my favorite. But I’ve been very happy with my SiCo Omega on my .300Blk semi auto, 5.56 semi auto, and .308 bolt action. I also really like my Dead Air Mask. I am interested in the SiCo Switchback, and a Hux flow through for .30 cal stuff. Someday…

I am curious running my Mk18 with a Hux flow can, gassy SOB on FA

Has any tuning been done to the gun? Oss cans do tend to shine on guns that haven't been tuned (or have had minimal tuning). But a mk18 FA is like the worst case scenario for any suppressor.

I have a 556 can from a local manufacturer. He’s moved on to other ventures but it’s holding up well.

Also have a Thunder Beast Arms can on my SBR 300BO. I really like their mount design too.

I need a 9mm can (PCC), a dedicated 22lr can and a Surefire as I’ve set up a couple of recent builds for them. Need to look into the newest generation Surefire SOCOMs.

I've got an Osprey, and a Sparrow.
The Osprey serial number is actually under 10.

Had them I think 13 years.

Both have been great.

When’s the last time you’ve used them?

When’s the last time you’ve used them?

Been several years.

Not much use for them unless you're by yourself, or with others so equipped.

Unless you’re in Axxe’s back yard and giggling with TGT buddies about how quiet subsonic .308 rounds through a Trash Panda are when shot with a Ruger Scout.

It is tuned, many 5.56 cans are super gassy. Especially with the fun switch

I find little time to shoot, owning a shop and all. Mag dump the Mg's here and there.

YHM Resonator which I purchased a few years ago and still do not have a host for it, Q/erect, Rugged Obsidian, and AAC Illusion
