Which suppressor?

[Phil]

A while back my friends all had YHM units, I know the Dead air Sandman is a Beast,

I want some suggestions as to what I should be looking for in a suppressor.

I want titanium and a good tight interchangeable locking system.

This will be shared on 6mm, 22 cal, 20 cal and 17 cal bolt action rifles, biggest being a 22 Creedmoor AI, the others being BR case variants.

I’ll probably go with a Dead air Sandman 30 cal on my AR, that should do it, I think…

I’m open to suggestions before dropping coin so I can make a good couple of decisions, any help is always appreciated.

Phil.

Silencerco scythe titanium. I have three of them. Love is not too strong of a word.

Look at Diligent Defense, a Dead Air TI knock off that is about $400 cheaper and sounds the same, Waiting on the 2nd batch to my Class 3. Sound great.

Isn’t that the one that keeps failing?

I have 2 centerfires. So I can weigh in on what you should not buy. But first, if you want a quick attach system, you should do some research and get a system that will interchange among various manufacturer's. Some are prone to failure because their design is not well thought out.

Silencerco - I have a Hybrid 46. I have had one major failure with their ASR mount. It came loose going into a tree stand and when I shot it spun of the threads and landed in the broom straw around the stand. Took me quite a while to find it, but it only punched a hole through the endcap. I got what I consider very poor customer service. When I told them what happened, the first thing out of his mouth was that the eccentric locking ring loosens over time. He sent me a video explaining how to retension it and promised to send an endcap - then he ignored further emails about the endcap.
Then the outer case came loose off the buffer stack. When I called, the rep said put Loctite on it and put it back together. I have not, and will not buy another Silencerco product. They have even had some of their models have catastrophic failures that damaged the shooter.

I bought a Rugged Razor because I got a fantastic deal. The locking system is a real pain on it and sometimes I have to really fight to get it off.

You really should do a lot of research to avoid buying something that does not suit your needs. I like suppressors that are large, with a lot of volume because I want the most quiet I can get. Compact designs like the Razor aren't as efficient. I have some friends that shoot long range (and who have attended schools for that regimen) who only use direct thread and mark the suppressor and barrel with a dot of Whiteout. The suppressor stays on the rifle for the duration.

I temper all this with the fact that I know a lot less and have a lot less time with silencers than most people on this forum do.

Based on customer service when I had questions about maintenance for a rimfire suppressor, I would personally buy something made by Thunderbeast. And I might even call them and talk to a human about it.

Best of luck.

It’s nice to hear the bad, along with the good being the ownership is supposed to last, till death do you part.

If you buy a Diligent Defense Wolf Hunter (6mm titanium) it’ll come with a 1/2x28 and a 5/8x24 HUB. I’d imagine those 2 fit everything you have. You won’t have to buy a bunch of muzzle brakes.

I think Dead Air are great also. I’d get a Nomad over a sandman. I don’t know if they are HUB compatible or not?
