Actually my suppressed 10/22 with subsonic .22lr is quieter than my BB gun lol.I got frustrated with all the costs of suppressors and hassles of filling out paperwork....so I just bought an airsoft gun and pretend.
I eliminated the frustration associated with fingerprints and the sheriff's signature by creating a trust (for $40) and eliminated the most of the costs of buying silencers by purchasing a lathe and making my own. Pretending is like video games, they both suck.I got frustrated with all the costs of suppressors and hassles of filling out paperwork....so I just bought an airsoft gun and pretend.

But BillRigsby what caliber are you looking for? Is this going to be a pistol or rifle can? Do you want this can to work for multiple calibers or just one? I currently have quite a few suppressors and each was bought for a reason, i have also never paid over $200 for a can so deals can be found out there if you look, most of mine are not name brand either, i have a Hairtrigger .223 can(a little heavy looks archaic but best value IMO) I also have a BeaverCreek Armory .22lr, nice looking maybe 1db louder than other .22 cans, YHM Wraith 9mm with Quick Detach but it does not cycle on pistols so its either single shot or used on my full auto and lastly I have an SAS 30 cal can for my long range rifles(which is still processing and has not been used by me yet). So look around, try out other peoples cans if you can(pun intended) and find what fits YOU and your weapons and your budget and don't forget this is not something you will probably sell.
Anyone have experience with a Yankee Hill suppressor? Is it a quailty product or would I be better off going with a Surefire or AAC?
For a rimfire suppressor the Mite gets a pretty bad rep on most forums. That said, I have a Mite as well as a AAC Element and a stainless Silencerco Sparrow and having fired them all side by side I can tell you that the Mite is not all that bad. It is heavy in comparison to the others, and if you get it to dirty you will have a hell of a time getting it apart for cleaning. For that reason, it is very tough to beat a Silencerco Sparrow.
I do not have any experience with YHM pistol cans so I cant help you there.

I'm looking for 5.56 on a 20" barrel. I want to use it for coyote shooting and of course recreational shooting without the need for ear protection. I hear having a suppressor while coyote hunting disrupts the report of a firearm enough that if missed, the coyote can't pinpoint where the shot is coming from. Not that I plan on missing....I've been looking around and YHM suppressors are cheaper than some but I just want to make sure I am buying a quality item when the time comes. Weight is always a factor when considering anything firearms related for me.
YHM is a pretty good value.
I think it would work fine for Yotin'.
There will be some new cans released in a couple weeks. Might want to hold up a bit.
The is great sound testing and reviews here:

Coctailer, are you located in oregon? Maybe I can go through you to get a suppressor when i'm ready.
Just curious, is the Mite as comparable on a pistol as it is on a rifle? IIRC from one of the review sites the Mite was pretty loud on the pistols compared to the likes of the AAC and SWR offerings, but pretty close on a rifle, is that your experience? I'm kinda thinking about a Mite mostly just for use on my Savage Mark II which is stupid quiet with my Warlock (which I don't think rated all that well on rifles).
