Huge SilencerCo supporter, I own a number of SCO cans. Thank you!

[@fritzaroo]

Just the video I was looking for. Perfect

[@subarumanrp233]

I had the BEST experience buying suppressors at my local shop (Tennessee Silencer)! They are awesome,very knowledgeable,and efficient! I even got in on the bogo deal!Now waiting on the aft to approve my ppwk....

[@subarumanrp233]

UPDATE! it took 5 months and 15 days to get approved for my first one,and 5 months and 16 days on my second one! Now I'm waiting on a reply from Stephen at Silencerco on my bogo silencer...I have heard there are PROBLEMS at the factory.....no reply from Stephen yet(it's been a couple weeks) I'm sure they're super busy...LOVE my Sparrow !

[@WThadMcLaurinIII]

Well done, sir!

[@AaaaandYerDhem]

Great video. Really been eyeing that new 556 VELOS. I have several cans and they're all Dead Air. Love them all, but I'm really digging the LBP design. Nobody likes the gas in their face and the ridiculous mess and extra wear on your weapon. Eliminating blow back and flash signature should be the main focus in all can companies

[@user-oc5je8iu5r]

Thank chase

[@yvanster]

Just saved myself all the trouble and bought an Omega 9k instead. Thanks silencerco!

[@carolinaplinker]

I am waiting on my switch back Almost 300 days now I sure do hope it's. Worth the wait I'm looking to get my next one pretty soon I want one for a 9 mm pistol and PCC but I kind of want a multi can although I know I will be disappointed

[@Ironlegiontraining]

Already own a Omega 36 and Octane 45 and just bought a Velos, Warlock 22 and an Octane 9! Because of the BOGO that you guys are running I was able to get the Omega 300 and a second Warlock 22 for free!!!

[@ehornad]

8 of my 18 cans are SiCo. Better suppression and durability than gemtech, lower pricing than dead air (unique SPEC label), but modular. After 13 years of various methods, CLR in ultrasonic is hands down best rimfire cleaner cleaner.

[@jonquirk9582]

That creates lead acetate though. Nasty stuff, and it can only go to a hazmat dump

[@chuck322]

I wish I’d seen this video before I started buying suppressors. I bought multiple ones to try to satisfy what I thought would be all my rifles and pistols. I think I might have over done it.

[@SilencerCo]

That's impossible! You can never have enough. If you have too many suppressors just buy more guns. A simple equation. 😬

[@dannypierce9528]

Since you guys listen to the customer, you need to make a flash heading in cap for the hybrid 46 for different calibers as well one that vents like you have on that new suppressor you were showing us because I would buy one. I’m thinking about buying that new suppressor now, but I sure would like to have some kind of endcap performance upgrades on my hybrid 46 I was thinking about buying another one of those as well because I have so many accessories for it. I only like I want to say eight of your suppressors maybe 10 I don’t know it’s a lot.

[@pizzasteakphocheeseburgeri2965]

Just buy one and you will figure it out along the way. Lots of vicarious enthusiast that come across as know-it-alls but don't even own the gear ie night vision equipment. How does a non-nod user know about specs when he has yet to really immerse himself in the world? Hmmmm...knowledge is power but applied knowledge is even more powerful...

[@WellDressedCaveman]

Picking a cigars is way harder than picking a bad ass SilencerCo suppressor!

[@dt8694]

I want to get the osprey 9 for APC9k pro but I was wondering if the osprey 45 will work on a B&T APC10 pro?

[@controlledchaos8851]

I can’t wait for the Velos 762 for my 308. I don’t care about weight or girth . I hope the Velodrome 762 is pure magic

[@VegasMikeP229]

Great video! I have an Octane 8 on standby waiting for the gummint so, two questions. 1. It will be used on several 9mm and an FN57. Will I need to have a different front plate for 9mm and FN57? On hold with the 8 is the non-tilting barrel adapter and I'll get a tilting barrel adapter for the 9mm's when I pick it up. 2. Your (great) video discussed an Octane 9. What's the difference to my 8 and can I upgrade to a 9 without the gummint getting excited?? Internal parts replacement is what I'm thinking.

[@ethanwright2981]

What in the world is an Octane 8? I think... I THINK.... You ordered an Octane 9?

[@VegasMikeP229]

@@ethanwright2981 Oops, it is a 9. That's the benefit of it sitting on a shelf for months waiting for the gummint to actually do something, I forgot. So, back to the rest of the questions - do I need a different front plate for 9mm and the .224 FN 57?

[@ethanwright2981]

@@VegasMikeP229 You don't NEED one, as the 9mm bore is bigger than the 5.7 bore. But if they offer a .224 diameter plate for the Octane, then in theory you would receive a slightly better decibel reduction.

[@Intoxacajun]

WOW! Great Video! Wish this video would have been out before I went down the suppresor rabbit hole! Finally went with the Omega 300 but probably would have gone with the 36M so I could run it on 9mm guns if I would do it again. Oh well. will just have to get another😁😁

[@SilencerCo]

Don't worry, the Omega 300 is an incredible suppressor!

[@Intoxacajun]

@@SilencerCo You know I looked at supressors a few years ago and did not follow through, for one I feel the ATF stamp is criminal and second process was too painful. But I have to say I just visited a local shop (Cajun Gun And Gear) near my home and the SilencerCo kiosk made it so easy to apply for I had to try it That and the people at the shop were so helpful that it was much less painful (less the tax stamp) than I'd imagined. Cannot wait to recieve the supressor and also took advantage of the BOGO offer so looking forward to joining the SilencerCo family!! Keep up the good work!

Omega 300 on a 16" 5.56,idk...so many options....help

[@fireman7522]

Want one really badly but my biggest problem is a extortion fee and have to wait a year

[@dilligafmofoker]

The sooner you start the clock, the sooner you can take it home. Some dealers will allow you to use your can at their range while you’re waiting for Uncle Sam’s permission slip. After your first tax stamp approval, any subsequent stamps will process much faster because your previous approvals will already be listed on file.

[@brandonbaker367]

Just wait for SC to do BOGO 🤣. They got me. Now I have an Omega 36M and 300 coming

[@controlledchaos8851]

I have a Sig 716i 308 . What is the best can for this ? I don’t care about weight . I want good sound suppression .

[@SilencerCo]

Chimera 300 or Omega 300. Both will perform well. The Chimera has no barrel restrictions in case you ever plan on shortening the barrel.

[@11superstar1997]

Anybody have experience between SilencerCo and Surefire??? Need some help here

[@user-oc5je8iu5r]

Hey will that 45 k octane work for 10mm to

[@SilencerCo]

The Octane 45 can be used with 10mm.

[@josephdalexander]

Just got my Hybrid 46M. 3 week wait for my form 4 to be approved. Now waiting on my BOGO

[@greatferrarimasterplan4836]

how'd you get it approved so bast?

[@bman2617]

I was wondering that too. How the fuck did that get approved so fast? I shouldn't bitch since I filed a form 1 for a short barrel shotgun in October 2022. It cleared in literally 10 days. My form 4 for a 22 gsl woodland suppressor? I am a couple days over 13 months now.

[@johnc5330]

What is going to happen if i shoot 5.56 through my omega 9k?

[@SilencerCo]

It could lead to significant damage.

Been trying to get the 300 chimera. Wants to start a channel and review it and bring more attention to Silcencerco suppressor. Been looking at this company since 2008. Hopefully i get one soon and there will be a review.

[@Glocktard]

This is 9 days away? Wow! Is this a patience test? What’s next? 9 months for ATF to approve said suppressors, Oh that’s about right 😂

[@AaaaandYerDhem]

The ATF needs to get the hell out of America. They are tyrants, thieves and freedom destroyers. They have no business in the way we choose to defend our family, our neighbor, our country. PERIOD!

[@rkashsggeggr6285]

Explain to me the cost of a suppressor….. a thousand dollars for what? A steel tube?!?! Solvent traps are the same thing just not drilled out and a 3rd the cost. Why is a drilled out solvent trap from silencerco and all other companies so expensive?

[@SilencerCo]

I'll happily explain, thanks for asking! First let's talk about "solvent" traps. It's common for them to provide mediocre performance in sound reduction and are generally of poor quality and come with zero warranty or customer service. A quality suppressor is going to be made from the best materials on the best machines. It is going to go through rigorous quality control and the final product will be one that has went through hundreds if not thousands of hours of research and development. Let's break down the costs of manufacturing. The machines we use can easily cost more than some people's homes. Then there of course needs to be people who operate said machines. Maintenance, finishing (paint), EDM, quality control, R&D, receiving, shipping, marketing, accounting and we also offer the best customer service and warranty in the business. All of these departments cost money and they all require employees. Choice is a great problem to have. If someone wants to buy a cheap solvent trap then they have that option. It's cheap for a reason though which may work for some but leads to disappointment for many. Any suppressor purchased from us is not only going to be the highest quality standard in the industry it's also going to come with a lifetime warranty. Hopefully this answers your question. Just know that when you buy from us you're supporting over 200 employees, getting a top notch quality product, and have access to the best customer service and warranty that you're going to find.
