That's a little like asking what are the good guns and what are the bad, opinions will vary and weighted largely in personal experience with a particular brand.While partly on topic yet off as well, what suppressors do people recommend and what ones should be avoided?
Running mostly heavy barrel but wouldn't mind lightweight if it preforms the same.Take a look at the TBAC Magnus unless you want lightweight.
Ultra 7 Gen2 as well.Running mostly heavy barrel but wouldn't mind lightweight if it preforms the same.
I love my .22 can. They're cheap, ridiculously well functioning, and unbeatable when it comes to pure joy. I've got a 9mm can already, and have a .30 on the way, but the .22 is always gonna be my favorite.22 is the absolute best to suppress, it goes downhill from there. Sounds like rifle is what you're looking for, now you'll need to decide if you want lightweight or max suppression. I've got a Thunder Beat Ultra 7 Gen2 in jail, and I'm looking to get a Thunder Beast Magnus going. Both are 30 cal suppressors with two different missions.
I agree- nothing touches a 22 for both sound suppression wise as well as cost. After I bought all the cans, I ended up buying several other 22 guns- couple of pistols and a rifle, to use as both hosts for the cans as well as trainers- set them up as an exact copy/replica of my primary home defense guns. I can shoot the 22 versions all day for super cheap, and also super quietly on my property- even though the closest neighbor is like a quarter mile away, you can still hear the unsuppressed guns pretty clearly, as gunshots carry pretty far. With the suppressed 22s, it is about the same sound as a staple gun, cant hear anything!! ;-)I love my .22 can. They're cheap, ridiculously well functioning, and unbeatable when it comes to pure joy.

I wish I'd bought one years before. I've trained a few shooters, and being able to give instruction without hearing protection for the early stages would've been pretty handy
I havent tried it yet, but I just got some of the new Breakthrugh Clean Suppressor cleaner. Supposed to work really well and be safe on aluminum. Hoping it will work well on my RUGGED MustangOk, quick backpedal here.
You can, in fact, use an ultrasonic cleaner to clean aluminum parts.
However, it is not as simple as cleaning steel.
Without getting into the weeds too deep, for me, the juice is not worth the squeeze.
I'll close by saying if you want to use an ultrasonic cleaner for aluminum, please research before you toss them in & hit the "On" button.
OK, I'm ready for my beating now, lol!
Best regards.

One of my favorite 22lr cans and I find it still balances very well on a lot of pistols. You can run it on a 5.7x28 gun also but it has some wicked back pressure on centerfire rounds.I'm picking up my new Daed Air Mask HD later today, now I'll have the best of both worlds, an all aluminum 22lr can and now a heavy duty one for heavy use.
I did a similar strategy. Aluminum 3.9oz? one I've had a long time and new titanium 3.7oz. flow through one.I'm picking up my new Daed Air Mask HD later today, now I'll have the best of both worlds, an all aluminum 22lr can and now a heavy duty one for heavy use.
I'm starting to lean more towards suppressors that are serviceable. You have to consider the possibility of things like baffle strikes or tailcap strikes and how readily it can be repaired. One thing I'd not really considered is that, if your suppressor is sent in to be repaired for any significant damage, the serial # has to still be intact according to the ATF, I believe.....While partly on topic yet off as well, what suppressors do people recommend and what ones should be avoided?
We don't do that here. Un-talk yourself back into it.I managed to talk myself out of the TBAC Magnus.
I also talked myself out of an Alchemy Prime Elite in hard chrome.We don't do that here. Un-talk yourself back into it.
Rad 45 should be awesome. The list of calibers is impressive. There is a video of a guy shooting 9mm through rad 9 and then through rad 45 and there is very little difference in sound. The modularity and flow baffles are a big bonus too.Just hit the order button for an OSS RAD45 pistol suppressor. I've been on the fence about a pistol can for a while but with stock drying up and this particular model meeting my needs, I decided to jump. Kinda kicking myself for spending the money but I kicked myself harder when it said "out of stock" after mulling it over and sitting on my hands all day. Was double checking my other options and it said that model had 3 in stock so I didn't hesitate a second longer. Just got an email confirmation for a product reservation, awaiting serial number assignment so we'll see if I actually get one....
Man it's wild out there
