    I've owned a pistol can for years and enjoy shooting subs through it, but whenever I send supers down the pipe, the sonic crack is still pretty loud so I've always kinda ignored rifle supressors based on the fact I'll never shoot sub sonic rifle ammo.

    Lately, I've considered it more of taking the edge off type of device, and I want to get in line before the pistol amnesty if it happens. I've had a Rugged razor in my cart for days, but haven't committed.

    I've never heard a rifle suppressed in real life so it's hard to judge if it's worth $900.

    What do ya'll say?

    I will bring my hybrid on a 308 or 7.62x39 for ya at the meet. Plenty of others should bring cans too. It's not bad.

    Totally worth it.

    Less blast, less boom.

    You still have the crack from the bullet, but it is MUCH more nicer.

    I wouldn't get any multical suppressors. My Hybrid 46 on my AR15 is barely something I'd like to shoot without hearing protection on. SUPER LOUD, but 200 yards away a girl said she couldn't even hear it. I have no idea how.

    Too late but this site is great.


    This guy tests suppressors at the ear and muzzle. You can filter down to a SBR MK18 with supersonic out of a good amount of cans. He can’t test everything but a lot of popular suppressors are on the site and the results are interesting. Best dedicated can for 5.56 currently is a printed model.

    I only do multi cal cans. My other can is a Rugged Obsidian 45 so it can shoot everything pistol related. I'm willing to give up a few dB to be able to use it on everything.

    The mount system was more important to me because I'm going to share across multiple rifles. I usually run some type of brake and this will allow me to keep a muzzle device when not suppressed. Plus going with a shorter can, I'm not looking for the quietest setup. Just want to tame down some rifle caliber pistols.
