SilencerCo has been doing the two spanner wrench tools with their suppressors for quite some time now, nice to see Deadair doing it as well.

[@ChronicSwErVe]

It is nice but they kinda suck my keymo mount always comes loose off my hybrid 46 because it’s hard to get good torque with those skinny spanner wrenches

[@matthammond6948]

​@@ChronicSwErVenext time, hit it with your manpurse. She'll be g2g.

[@1stShotTactical]

Agreed!🇺🇸🤘

[@williamboggs1682]

Deadair is killing it and they have always been good to me

[@calvins4084]

They shipped out thousands of cans that blew up and they refused to recall them. Also the owner refused to say anything on it or anything

[@williamboggs1682]

They said if you have a problem they will fix it and they did I mean really how many were bad it’s the most back ordered can through silencer shop so can’t be that bad lol

[@1stShotTactical]

Agreed!🇺🇸🤘

[@devinmcmaster2371]

I’m gonna get one, I have a sandman K on my fuller AK and I love it.

[@1stShotTactical]

Love it!!🇺🇸🤘

[@Spartisman]

i have 3 serra 5's and never had a problem with any of them. Great video. thanks for all the work.

[@1stShotTactical]

Awesome to hear and thanks for the comment!🤘🇺🇸

[@TriggerCFR]

I believe this is the first video I've seen where the front cap was taken off to reveal the traditional baffles that are printed into the can. On release day, Mike said that to be the case in their Shot Show video. The traditional baffles printed in purely gets the dB down. I'd find it interesting to have all of their new cans metered vs their old ones. Sandman S and Sierra 5 vs Sandman X and Lazarus 6.

[@1stShotTactical]

It’s pretty cool what they can do with 3D printing now! I’ll try and get them metered!🤘🇺🇸

[@cody8992]

Have a Serria 5 no issues. Works great tried mag dumps all the way down to 10.5” been good so far.

[@1stShotTactical]

Awesome to hear!!🇺🇸🤘

[@savagenez9584]

Thanks for this review!!

[@1stShotTactical]

Thanks for the comment and support 🤘🇺🇸

[@shirolee]

Awesome video!

[@DairyQueen2187]

Would love to see night and flash testing!

[@1stShotTactical]

Thank for the comment! I’m trying to get dear to film that as well as some Db readers. Stay tuned!🇺🇸🤘

[@Graham_A]

Love these long form videos

[@1stShotTactical]

Appreciate the comment and support!🤘🇺🇸

[@SoldierOfTheWay]

That montage was badass

[@1stShotTactical]

Haha thanks man!🤘

[@ParkerBradley-l8x]

If you're going to do a comparison between Sandman x and huxwrx, maybe do it with the ventum which is hub compatible and has a similar price point?

[@1stShotTactical]

Agreed! I still need to pick up a Ventum!🤘🇺🇸

[@silencerbear9347]

To be honest my sandman is a lemon. I’ve had to send it back to be rebuilt 3 times. The mount has broken or been out of spec each time. The wolf9SD I have is great though.

[@1stShotTactical]

Good insight appreciate the comment! That does suck about your sandman man

[@AlexZ32]

Subbed purely off the montage. Love to see it

[@1stShotTactical]

Appreciate the support man!

[@michealmartinez9615]

On the Sabre line from palmetto state armory can I change the muzzle device to Xeno

[@randoonyt270]

Yes. I changed my Sabre 10a1 to Spooky mount for CAT suppressors.

[@1stShotTactical]

If it’s pinned and welded, you would have to have a gunsmith do it for you if it’s a 16 inch barrel that is not pinned and weld then you can change it🤘🇺🇸

[@tgunz64]

I’d like to see this compared with the Velos 762. My next can will be another hard use can that’s definitely shorter than my Sandman L.

[@1stShotTactical]

I’ll have to try and snag one to compare🤘🇺🇸

[@wolfegod88]

My Dead Air can is over 2 years old and came with two wrenches, don't think that is a new thing.

[@1stShotTactical]

Sandman S didn’t come with any🤔

[@MarkSmith-df5ho]

Have you used lantac keymo?

[@1stShotTactical]

I have not yet!

[@allengoe3605]

Comment for the db meter!

[@spyder5571]

I have more than a 100k in guns, but a dB reader is expensive. Lol

[@1stShotTactical]

😂😂😂 the good ones are pricey!! The ones are Amazon don’t cut it lol

[@billyboyd418]

Would be great to see the sandman x vs nomad xc/LTi xc.

[@1stShotTactical]

For sure! Hopefully I can do that soon!🇺🇸🤘

[@matthammond6948]

I think gas venting thru the threads of the end cap would only AID in being a flowthru design... i mean, were talking about the front end of the can, not the back.... there i could see the arguement. Which part of why the huxwrx flow cans arent hub compatible....

[@1stShotTactical]

Very true! Solid points man🇺🇸🤘

[@darkedge117]

This or the Lazarus 6?

[@randoonyt270]

The answer is: depends on what your primary ammo use is going to be. 5.56 or 6 ARC exclusively, then Lazarus. Any other larger calibers then the Sandman X.

[@derek3154]

Both😅

[@1stShotTactical]

Randoony270 comment is spot on🤘🇺🇸

[@robertkoonce8365]

I really don't know why content creators continue to do live fire comparisons and keep using noise cancelling recording equipment. It really does make the comparison compromised. It all sounds the same.

[@1stShotTactical]

That’s why I said like and share the video… good Db readers are expensive! Trying to get a sponsor to provide one🙌🇺🇸

[@SIUDubFiend]

Going between the sandman x and the bt srbs 7.62. Help!

[@1stShotTactical]

Sandman dude🤘🇺🇸

[@AppalachianChaplin]

Idk man...im still kinda stuck on the sandman s reliability until these new cans prove their strength over time. The S has been thru literal war, to hell n back, and it just keeps working. Gonna be hard to beat that when it comes to 4-5 years into use.

[@1stShotTactical]

Very true! I’ve beat my Sandman S up a lot and it refuses to die!!😂🇺🇸

[@FriendsandFire]

No 300 blk?

[@1stShotTactical]

I know sorry! I’m waiting for a new 300blk upper and 6mm upper to add to the testing!🇺🇸

[@jrc2379]

Should be the Lazarus 7, leave the Sandman line alone. Some of us still like hardworking strong baffle cans.

[@1stShotTactical]

😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@heavyhitta52]

Is it me or does it seem extremely loud?

[@1stShotTactical]

In person it’s quite! I was running it without hearing protection for a bit!🤘🇺🇸

[@heavyhitta52]

@ good! I’m thinking of it for my next Can!

[@Denis_Lvov]

Does anyone need a product with such a huge back pressure on a semi-automatic? Fans of inhaling gas? Or those who like to clean and repair their rifle more often? ;)

[@1stShotTactical]

😂😂truth🇺🇸

[@practicalcivilian3259]

Insert comment here

[@Martin-tt7sd]

Too many 5.56. Its a 30 cal can. Use some other calibers and not just ARs and gas guns.

[@1stShotTactical]

Agreed! I’m Working on getting some other rifles and calibers to better feature suppressors on the channel 🤘🇺🇸

[@Esper320]

Make your own test you loser 😂

[@JG-gw5cc]

The Hux Flow range 36 TI is better imo!!

[@1stShotTactical]

Yeah it looks pretty cool!🇺🇸

[@SAPPER235PUNISHER]

Looks super gassy

[@1stShotTactical]

I lubed all the guns up right before this test so a lot of that is the initial lube burning off. Definitely not gassy for the shooter!🤘🇺🇸

[@PnP-td1mt]

I think DA owes everyone an explanation regarding the Sierra 5 before people start buying their products again. I have the Lazarus 6.. it seems to be fine but will be my last DA.

[@PnP-td1mt]

I rockset rearden style mounts on all my hub cans. They tend to break loose before the plan B taper. Even with never seize on the plan B..

[@toddmagee9168]

Dead Air addressed it with each individual owner and during that time they stated that it was a manufacturing defect. Not much else to say. The influencers and trolls that demanded answers made it into a huge drama, but in the end Dead Air to just dealt directly with the (relatively) small group of affected Sierra owners and kept the root cause explanation as a vendor issue. They had to start up all new production and it took several months, but each Sierra owner was taken care of in the end. People want to be mad, though. Welcome to the internet.

[@PnP-td1mt]

@ the explanations we got was “baffle strike” which was BS. It was obvious the baffles were defective from the start due to the color difference alone. Some of us have experience with printed exotic metals from the form 1 space. We bring this up and was talked to like we were stupid. Some cans taking almost 2yrs to get repaired. Being handled at the time with the customer and the issues being brought up by trolls is absolute bull sh!t.
