Regarding budget, I really haven't put too much thought into it yet. I want something that is quality and will last me. I see the Surefire, Dead Air Sandman, and Huxwrx come up a lot in my searches for reputable and quality suppressors. Haven't broadened my search too much. I don't need the most expensive, latest and greatest by any means. I just want something that works and works well for what I have.I haven't seen much of a used market. They don't exactly wear out and the US suppressor market demands a lifetime of use for a number of reasons, so pretty much every reputable manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty.
What kind of a budget were you imagining? There are a lot of good cans on the market that are relatively inexpensive.
What is your intended use, pistol (22,9mm,45), 5.56, 300BLK, rifle, 308, 300win, 7mag, 6.5creed?
There are many knowledgeable users that could help you find something inexpensive we knew your use and budget needs.
I will definitely check it out. Thank you for the suggestion.Secondary market isn't really there. Most sellers would ask close to new cost, and you wouldn't know how much abuse the suppressor has been subjected to.
Look into the YHM Turbo T2, I have one sitting in jail right now for my SBR.
The same thing is happening with just used firearms I for one have lost interest in the wait and if 114 kicks in that would be the last nail in the coffin . I am just going to focus on what I have in the past 30 year buying/trading frenzy there are several firearms in the safe that have never been fired . The suppressors that are in my possession from the day I started the paperwork it was know that they would be with me forever .As a general rule, there is no interest in used silencers. Holds true for most, though not all, non-MG NFA items. There are some historically significant items that are also NFA. But run of the mill stuff, like most cans, it doesn't make sense for most buyers to go used due to the regulatory burden.
Since you are in Oregon City I would get a hold of Steve at AFS.If one was looking to get into the game on a budget are there folks that sell their used ones that have plenty of life left in them??
On that note @jskel consider a 30 cal supressor for versatility. They are nearly as effective as one designed for 5.56 on that caliber but have a lot more versatility, especially if you get the 300 BO subsonic bug looking for much quieter shooting.One thing to remember on a short barrel, you aren't going to get the same suppression as you would with a longer barrel. So, don't suppress a 5.56 pistol thinking it is going to be quiet. It'll just take the edge off. So, use ear pro.
Will definitely reach out to him. Thank you for the contact.Since you are in Oregon City I would get a hold of Steve at AFS.
As others have said there is pretty much no used market, but Steve will get you a really great price and is excellent to deal with.
What brand do you run/suggest looking at?Since you're looking at a $200 tax on top of the base price no matter what, I think looking at this from a budget perspective is the wrong way to go.
New YHM is probably the brand to go with if cash is a concern
I so far only own Dead Air as they tend to rate at or very nearly at the top in all tests. And the keymo QD system is pretty darn good. They're fairly expensive but not top shelf price, paid about $900 each.What brand do you run/suggest looking at?
Stagnant sales is a significant dynamic that results from newly-enacted restrictions. Impulse buying is out the window. Waiting a year for a suppressor takes a shooter with a very abiding interest.The same thing is happening with just used firearms
There isn't really a place in the market for anything "bad" so keep that in mind.What brand do you run/suggest looking at?
Since you mentioned running it on an AR pistol I would suggest the Huxwrks. While I have other cans, the OSS (now Huxwrks) Helix 7.62 QD was my first can. I bought it to use on my SCAR 17 and Galil Ace. The advantage they offer is that their design results in near zero back pressure. With their design you don't have to worry about "over gassing" the firearm or running a different charging handle to keep stuff from blowing back into your face during operation. If you watch their video on you tube you will see what I mean.What brand do you run/suggest looking at?
