Most entertaining and informative video I’ve ever seen on suppressors. Would highly recommend this for first time silencer buyers. Would love to see something similar when talking about the different mounting attachments for rifles. Like the difference between key mount and direct thread. Great video!

Thanks so much! The goal was to help first timers out, so they get a good silencer the first time and have positive experiences. We are going to do a mounting system video soon!

I have no idea why this random question just came to mind, but it's a question of curiosity now. So when the form 4 goes through the NICS and FBI checks to be approved, what if you don't even own a firearm and just wanted a suppressor for the hell of it, conversational piece. Or what if you were a "prohibited persons", why couldn't you still have a suppressor, it's technically not a firearm and is technically just a fancy piece of metal. Your company able to answer this question.

You should also probably mention that suppressors that redirect the energy downrange are better for range and training, whereas suppressors that truly suppress in all directions are better for home defense, where your loved ones might be on the wrong of the sound wave, due to the acoustics of a gunshot in the house.

[@szyzzerz]

Okay...I've had a suppressor before, but I didn't know anything about anything at the time. It was a Form 1 suppressor, put on a Ruger 10/22. The barrel was machined and it was basically welded to the barrel. Yes, very very quiet...fun to shoot, etc. But now, I have several firearms that are threaded for muzzle devices...and I am not sure what to get. I have heard that if you run suppressed on an AR platform, you have to worry about adjusting your gas block, and I believe buffer spring tension is a concern as well...so there I have no clue what to do. I have seen QD muzzle devices and I like the ability to change from suppressed to without suppressed quickly and not worry about cross threading and other worries. Recommendations? What do I need to know to suppress my AR-15 5.56 16", my 9mm pistol, my AR-15 5.56 pistol (8.5" barrel)? Thank you in advance, anyone that helps.

I’m debating between a mcx spear 300 blk vs 5.56 pistols, I also have a few other firearms I would use a suppressor on from 9 to 7.62. What are your recommendations and thoughts on the omega 36m vs rugged Alaskan 360 Thank you in advance! Amazing video by the way

[@SilencerShop]

Thanks for the kind words. The Alaskan is a lot lighter and uses HUB mount which gives you a few more options for mounting than the 36M Charlie mount. Sound performance is good on both of them, two of my favorite silencers for 9mm PCCs. IF you're hunting or weight is priority id lean towards the Alaskan, if you need the modularity the 36M is the way to go.

[@chevtow]

Any recommendations for dedicated 300blk can? Plan on using rearden mount. OCL, SilencerCo, Rugged are probably my top companies I’m interested in. Thanks

[@SilencerShop]

Each has some awesome 30cal cans! Check out the OCL Hydrogen L, for 300BLK, the Rugged Alaskan 360 is also an awesome option for use with the Rearden mount.

[@2wheelsdown1fingerup]

I want a can that I can run on a full size 9mm pistol as well as a .22 target pistol and a .22 bolt action down the line. I'm not super concerned with top performance but need it to be user serviceable. To keep cost down I'm fine with direct thread unless there is a no brain QD option or something to look into down the line. What do y'all suggest?

[@SilencerShop]

I would check out the JK Armament 105 CCX 9, it can shoot 9mm and .22lr and is easily serviceable. The same goes for the CGS MOD9 and MOD9sk.

[@SilencerShop]

The Sandman is a solid performer, but if you're not sold, there are a ton of silencer that can use Keymo. For a hard use AR15 and occasional 6.5 use, I would take a look at the CAT ODB (HUB model) or the HUXWRX Ventum 762.

I have a .556 Diamondback db15 AR pistol with a 7" barrel and no adjustable gas block. I dont shoot alot and its for home defense. What would be your recommendation?

[@marksglock]

Rugged Razor 556 has no barrel restrictions. I would honestly look at getting an AR with a longer barrel in 5.56, or possibly get a 300 blackout. a 7" AR is going to still be very loud and the ballistics are subpar. 11.5" or 12.5" would be a better choice. but if you're set on using what you already own, the Rugged Razor 556 is full auto rated and, again, has 0 restrictions on barrel length.

[@SilencerShop]

Take a look at our top 5 556 silencer blog, that would be a great place to start!

[@tylerbenson9694]

Trilug can work on some pistols, just not browning tilting actions.

Most 9mm PCC style silencers are excellent on 357 lever actions. Id check out the CAT MOB, Dead Air Wolfman, and Energetic Armament Sonus. Each can be direct threaded and will sound great.

[@kennnuthatch5724]

What about the Ruger SFAR? It has an adjustable gas block.

[@SilencerShop]

Yup, so you could use a more traditional silencer like the Nomad, but even with an adjustable gas block low back pressure still pays dividends

AR vs AK ?!?! .... FIRST LET ME SAY I LIKE BOTH AND TONS OR ROUNDS AND CONFLICTS WORLD WIDE OF ALL TYPES CONFIRM BOTH AS VERY SERVICABLE WEAPONS!!!!!!! FIRST LET ME SAY I LIKE BOTH with their respective strengths and weakness. The little clip you showed of both you struggling with an AK gave me pause I was introduced to the AK-47 in a class in the Army by a pair of Marine instructors who went thru their strength and weakness before I got to fire it (WHOO HOOOO bang bang fun about 1983ish ). What was pointed out was that it's general features and design was set up so that ANYONE from ANYWHERE could learn it and use it with minutes of training not hours AND it's accuracy while not QUITE as precise as the AR platform is plenty serviceable typically to about 250 yards (meters for the rest of the planet) up to 500ish yards with a little better training. BOTH WEAPON SYSTEMS set up for modern combat ranges. NOW having seen your little "comedy clips" are you willing to ADMIT that most of the world INCLUDING large segments of the third world can out-perform you with that weapon system?!?! OR are you two clowning to make fun of it which is A LOT of disrespect to a weapon system that has a HUGE amount of casualties world wide ..... I understand not liking it but on the surface both of you are either uhhh challenged or bad clowns. I will not judge you on that one element of your presentation but I did feel a need to address your uhhh presentation. IN FINISHING YOUR PRESENTATION I have come to the conclusion that you guys DO like to clown abit (as do I) but like myself I STRONGLY suggest that you do NOT give up your day jobs yet. I did give a like and subscribe as suppressors (see I already learned to use the more accurate name vs silencer) and I am not "too old" to learn ... I love the UTILITY of my current level of "hearing loss" (I wear the hearing aids in CHURCH) ..... don't want any more hearing loss ....

[@SilencerShop]

Thanks for sharing, Rodney. We both have used AK's a bit, and while we definitely prefer the AR, we get that the AK is effective and has a huge crowd of fans behind the system.

Can you comment on what you think is going on with the delay in getting the ready to certify email? I am using your company for the 1st time and I am over 2 weeks since the Docusign was completed and returned (with verified receipt from you folks) - All my other items were purchased as an individual, so SS is a new experience for me. I thought it was going to be a fast process, since I did get the Docusign about 2 days after I made the purchase online, but then the delay for the Ready To Certify has left me wondering about the process. I made sure to select an item that was in stock, and I chose a Gold level dealer to try to minimize any errors, etc. (I have talked with a few folks and the average time seems to have been 3-5 days from the Docusign date, with the longest being about 10 days, based on their feedback.) Is the ATF really that far behind on processing the Form 3 for you to send the item to my dealer? Thanks

[@sl7809]

Call your dealer, it is on his end. He has to stage the certification for you to certify. The delay may be due to his volume of paperwork as the reduced ATF approval times have caused a surge in purchases. I got approved in 2 days after submission, so now is the time to buy.

[@44Mag]

@@sl7809 The dealer says they cannot do anything until SS gets the Form 3 back approved from the ATF, which lets them transfer the can to the dealer. They said once that happens and they receive the can, they can compile the form 4 the trust, and other documentation. Thank for the feedback. I plan to drive over to the dealer tomorrow and get them to double check that it did not get delayed in a shuffle in their store, but I doubt it has. (They sell a lot of suppressors every month, so I assume they would have a good process in place, but who knows....)

Personal recommendation for people new to silencers, id _personally_ recommend a 36 caliber rifle rated can so you can use it on your 9mm pistol with a booster and use it like a flow-thru can on your 5.56/300BLK rifle _and_ a 22 can. My first "can" is a Maxim9, my second is a Ruger SilentSR, then a Wolfman and lastly so far an Aero Lahar 30. I definetly bought mine out of order. -I would not recommend a Silent-SR unless you have a need for the splined end cap such as tucking the suppressor under a handguard. -The Wolfman is good but only works with Dead Air pistol accessories so it can take a booster, Keymicro or Xeno mount. I personally love the Xeno mount, but you can't use other mount options. -Personally I think the Xeno is about as perfect as it gets but its your can so its up to you.

Some are absolutely mind blowing! Some are so bad they will never leave my safe. Your advice is very poor advice.

[@YesIFondle]

@@Nate-zm6bd My advice is for someone who doesn't want to spend an extra grand on every firearm they own. Not someone who owns a dozen 308 cans. The difference in noise for a 46 can and a 30 can is negligible for anyone.

[@Nate-zm6bd]

And Im saying thats not true. I have multiple 308 cans alone thats performance is on different planets. Compare a deadair Sandman K vs a CGS hyperion. one will make your ears bleed and one sounds like it belongs in hollywood. a 46 caliber can is always going to be louder than the best cans due to the nature of do all cans and having a bore that much larger than the projectile youre shooting. Further 3d printing has completely changed what we should expect performance wise from suppressors. You are over simplifying something that has a tremendous amount of variables that directly affect performance. Im saying, no offense, but its obvious you dont have the experience to be giving the advice your doling out.@@YesIFondle Dont believe me, Check out pew science. All the answers are right there.

[@SilencerShop]

Thats a great first addition, but dedicated caliber silencers might sound a bit better!

[@EverinMalpica]

KEY is Earing protection...dont know why they are not built in on all weapons.

[@SilencerShop]

Yup, hearing damage is permanent, protect your ears with a suppressor

[@MrGetRite3]

Which silencer would you recommend for a ( 300 blackout- 5.56 ) rifles for training???

[@SilencerShop]

The CAT ODB and HUXWRX FLOW 762 TI ahve good performance on both of those cartridges, and have low backpressure for operation on AR platform rifles. If 300BLK is the focus with a bit less 556, silencers lie the Q Trash panda, Dead Air Nomad, and CGS Hyperion would sound awesome and work great on both calibers as well.

cleaner?? thought made guns dirtier as they back push into the gun not out the muzzle?

[@SilencerShop]

Low backpressure cans will run cleaner.

[@RocksNRuts4]

@@SilencerShop oh low BACKpressure cans, sorry missed that, they r the new style cans coming out yes sir

[@g1mmedatdome284]

Would love to buy a deadair if the entire site wasn't sold out

[@SilencerShop]

Hopefully getting more soon!

[@sapprdaddy]

Can you use brake cleaner for cleaning cans ?

[@SilencerShop]

Check with the manufacturer, Brake Clean can damage finishes.

[@Abyssdiver]

Well as of now you barely have anything stocked so tell us how do we chose....

[@SilencerShop]

Backorders and email notifications are going out all the time! Reserve your preferred silencer!

[@Nate-zm6bd]

Do your research. going thru the trouble and finding out you have a bunch of loud crappy suppressors from a manufacturer who wont honor their warranty is a crappy place to be. Absolute pain in the butt to sell if you decide you dont like what you bought. Im upto like 18 suppressors and a solid 5 of them will likely never be shot again and will just sit in my safe. Its not that I dont have a gun to put them on, they just suck.

[@Yahtahey]

List them in ranking order for us

[@Nate-zm6bd]

the 5 I strongly dislike. Deadair Sandman K + L CGS Mod9sk CGS Hyperion K Surefire Socom 762ti2 Favorites. TBAC 338SR for large caliber bolt guns. CGS hyperion for 308 and 300bo Bolt guns. Huxwrx flow 556k for fighting rifle gas guns. Huxwrx 762ti for 308 or 556 gas guns. Deadair Wolfman for subguns. The big surprise was how great the B&T rotex-x is on my Sig 552a1. Its a fantastic can. Got 3 and soon a 4th Specter Cat cans on the way and got a feeling theyll be on the list of loves. Id consider most of my other cans sufficient but nothing special. Like the deadair sandman s on my noveske carry handle 300bo. and my Deadair Mask 22 is more than sufficient for my tacsol 10/22. But again nothing special.@@Yahtahey My favorites gotta be and I had to think about it. The hyperion on the mini fix w/ subsonic 300bo. Its quieter than a pellet gun. They wouldnt be able to use it in movies because people wouldnt believe its real its so quiet.

[@44Mag]

@@Nate-zm6bd I dislike all the "K" and "SK" models....I buy a suppressor to get the gun as hushed as possible. I have found every "k/ks" model looks cool, but they only drop the report about 12-15db. Full lengths usually always drop it over 30db. For example, I agree with you on the CGS Mod9sk being a poor sound reducer, however the CGS Mod9 F or FS does a good job with both 9mm and 300 sub-sonics. (About my overall favorite in that category) I do plan to get the Hyperion if they ever get back in stock.

[@Nate-zm6bd]

@@44Mag i agree. Its a balance. Too long and heavy also is a problem. Part of the reason i struggle finding a host for my sandman l. Totally agree on the k’s. I buy a suppressor for suppression. And some of these k’s barely suppress. Get a hyperion. Its awesome. Only downside is direct thread and made for a tapered shoulder on your barrel.

[@Nate-zm6bd]

@@44Mag the disparity between the hyperion being the best suppressor ive ever heard and the hyperion k being so loud i dont have a use for it definitely exemplifies your point.

Do NOT get a flow-through anything for a subsonic OR for bolty. .22LR silencer will convert anti-gunners to gun lovers.

[@TheEDCTribe]

That’s not true with the new CAT cans, check out the Pew Science numbers.

[@SilencerShop]

The newer high flow options might change your mind on that!

[@jessemyers3647]

There is no evidence that suggest suppressers increase accuracy

[@SilencerShop]

Were testing it in an upcoming video, so we'll find out! You maybe correct that mechanical accuracy isnt largely affected, but they definitely affect a shooters accuracy IE making the firearm more "shootable"

Oh yeah, when am I going to get my bogo omega 300 you haven’t even shipped from when I bought my omega 36M I received almost a year ago… y’all make ok stuff but are worse than the AFT on wait times…🤷🏻… just saying

That’s SilencerCo, not Silencer Shop. Call the guys who actually make the can.

[@jamesii7]

Same struggle haven’t even got my 46m bec the ffl won’t certify my paperwork

Howdy! Reach out to the team at SilencerCo for BOGO details!

[@jrstoelting]

Me too, but I think it’s because so many people got the BOGO, they are out of the suppressor. So, we are waiting on them to actually manufacture it. That’s my theory.

Theyre amazing silencers.

Jfc just like on your website you pick up a ‘multi cal’ suppressor and don’t say the name or size post all the cals each can can handle it’s text on a website ffs…
