A suppressor, sound suppressor or silencer is a device attached to or part of the barrel of a firearm which reduces the amount of noise and visible muzzle flash generated by firing. Suppressors are typically constructed of a metal cylinder with internal mechanisms to reduce the sound of firing by slowing the escaping propellant gas.

B&T vs Hux

Anyone here have direct experience comparing a B&T SRBS TI vs a Flow 556k stainless?

If so how’s the spark, flash suppression compare and overall thoughts?

HX-QD 762

First suppressor any opinions on the hx-qd 762? Looking for something multicaliber for obvious reasons 💵. Is it worth it or should I go with caliber specific. Any pros or cons?

Thread difference

If the thread on the suppressor is 1/2 x 28 and the thread of the barrel is 1/2 x 36 and the caliber is the same, how much difference does that make or matter? Will that still work?

Reccee mount

I got a griffin reccee 7 and I’m trying to get a muzzle brake for my ak 105 (m24x1.5 threads) that has a taper mount. Griffin doesn’t have one does any one have any suggestions without getting wild with thread adapters?

Is there 5 inch supressor for Krink?

I would like to ask if there is a silencer for krinkov in this size (about 5.5 inches) with an adapter for an ar silencer that will work well, or do I need a longer one?

OCL Lithium 9 mount

Currently waiting on my OCL Lithium 9 to arrive and while I wait I’m looking at mounting options. What options are there to switch between the PCC and pistol as quickly as a QD mount that accounts for a booster when on the pistol or should I just direct thread it and then attach the booster when wanting to use it on the pistol?

Best suppressor for Mcx spear 9” 300 blk?

This will be my first suppressor. I plan on using with sub and super ammo, and also plan on using for my 5.56. (The 300 is priority). From my research, I was leaning towards the nomad or the trash panda.

What has the best qd options for switching firearms?

On a side note, I plan on getting the switchback 22 for my mp5 22 as well. If you guys have any other preferences I’m open to opinions.

Thanks for the input!

Supressor for 308 and 556?

looking for a supressor for my AR10, 308 bolt gun, and 556 rifles. Looking at different options, I think I've narrowed it down to a Rugged Radiant or a CAT ODB.. I know neither is "optimal" for both applications, just trying to find a supressor that would quiet the report of each caliber down.

Also, just found out about the Rugged Surge X, where you go from a short to long configuration, changing the pressure from low to high. Interesting. (Looks a tad bit heavy in full configuration)

Thoughts?

Anyone know of a place with silencerco bravo asr mounts?

I’ve had no luck finding one for months. Started to just think it will be easier to just buy a new suppressor.

Looking for some experienced thoughts for me to move forward on suppressor purchases

First off thanks ahead of time, my situation is nothing special but as I have multiple rifles and a plan specific to my needs, I wanted to seek your guidance. I currently have 3 AR platform rifles, two 5.56 and one AR-10 in .308. All rifles are Patriot Ordnance Factory (POF) rifles. One 5.56 is DI, a Renegade+, and one is a gas piston 415 Edge, the .308 is a Revolution DI. I am also going to be getting a new 13.75" 415 Edge. I want to stay with this platform/manufacturer from a training standpoint as they are all the same as to the controls. One of my shooters in the house is also a left handed shooter so keeping it all the exact same, in my opinion, is the way to go. I have encountered no rifle issues through many thousands of rounds through all of these rifles also so this is another reason, if they were not reliable I would be looking elsewhere. This 13.75" rifle will come from the factory with a KeyMo mount. I am not "married" to this mount but this mount makes it a legal rifle, so there is that. I want a can on each of my rifles and I will be caliber specific for each. I know I could get a 30 caliber can to "Run" on all my rifles but I just want to have each with their own (The sound you hear in the background is my wallet crying). I have shot a 10.5" P415 with a HUXWRX Flow Ti and it was great, in looking at everything (other than price that is) I think this is the way I want to go for them all. Where I am getting a little sideways is with the mount on the 13.75" P415. I know the KeyMo is not preferred due to weight and length and other reasons I have read regarding the manufacturer. However, if that mount keeps this rifle legal, what happens if I change the mount to something that may not be "Legal" any longer. What could I change to, to go HUXWRX and stay legal? I am not trying to get legal advice as much as I am trying to stay legal, and go the route I want to. For my current rifles I have no problems as they are either 16" or 18.5", it is the 13.75" that I am really wondering about. Have any of you been through something similar and made it work? Again thanks in advance for your time and comments.

**EDIT** I am not very knowledgeable on suppressors, so if I am missing something as good or better for my needs please feel free to give me those options, keeping the above in mind.

PWS BDE 9mm Suppressor on a 7.5" 300Blk barrel

I was looking to get the PWS BDE 9mm suppressor for my M&P M2.0 Spec Series and wanted to see if I can run the suppressor on my 300Blk pistol with a 7.5" barrel.

The suppressor is also rated subsonic 300blk ammo which I was going to use on my 300 Blk pistol but I was worried the length of my barrel would be a factor seeing as most 9mm suppressors only allow for use on 8" barrels or longer.

I tried reaching out to PWS a few weeks ago but haven't had a response from them. Has anyone had experience with PWS BDE suppressors and in particular the 9mm suppressor? Your recommendations/comments will help out greatly. Thanks!

9mm handgun can that doesn't block irons?

Thinking about a Spectre 9, but that blocks most irons (handgun) so wondering if there are any other worthwhile options out there. Thoughts?

Please don't chime in with nonsense posts of install suppressor height sites. I have them on some handguns I'm well aware. That isn't the point of this post

Homemade Supressor

I ran into this farm kid in an outfitter shop in the mountains of Idaho. We were in Idaho for the same reasons. Shoot an elk. He was from South Dakota and we had an interesting chat. He mentioned that he made a suppressor and that it was legal in his state. I looked into that.

37-35-2. Firearms, firearm accessories, and ammunition manufactured and retained in state declared exempt from federal regulation. Any firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in South Dakota and that remains within the borders of South Dakota is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of Congress to regulate interstate commerce.

37-35-1 states that

"Firearm accessory," any item that is used in conjunction with or mounted upon a firearm but is not essential to the basic function of a firearm, including any telescopic or laser sight, magazine, flash or sound suppressor, folding or aftermarket stock and grip, speed loader, ammunition carrier, or light for target illumination;

What do y’all think? Do that South Dakota’s have the luxury of building their own shit without all this hassle, or are they still required to fill out the ATF forms?

SiCo Spectre 9 and piston.

I own an Obsidian 9 with a piston/Nielson device. Just grabbed a SiCo spectre 9. I understand the spectre is light enough to go on tilt barrel pistols, without a piston. Until i can find an alpha hub direct thread for it, can i use the piston and spring out of my rugged with the SiCo?
