I appreciate the unwanted insight into my marriage.
Don't worry, most us already know that NY Women have bigger balls than the Men from NY, so we don't need to comment.
I appreciate the unwanted insight into my marriage.
I'm going to put the money down on a Griffin Armament M4SD II next month hopefully. It'll allow me to suppress my Tavor with a Griffin Armament muzzle device and and my AR-15 with a NATO-spec A2.
I think it sad, that you think so little of your wife, that you must hide purchases from her.
Short Suppressor guy here, so here are my current favorites and suggestions:
Dead Air Sandman-K (7.62)
YHM Resonator K (7.62)
YHM Turbo K (5.56)
Sadly tavors don't suppress well, but maybe a suppressor with Flow-Through technology like OSS type might work a bit better, but I can't say for sure. http://youtu.be/i4_HHweHw-s Here's a review that I did on this particular topic a while back.
If if I do a side job and make $300 say, i take 200 home and tuck away 100 for my fun money.
After taxes, of course.
Two weeks ago I ordered my first can. I went with the Omega 300 as I will be using it on my 300 blackout as well as my 5.56. Check back with me in 11 months or so to see how I like it.
well it sounds like she is controlling. She certainly isn't the victim here...
And for further clarity, you want to hide the fact, from your wife, that you are purchasing a suppressor, correct?
I have a Rugged Radiant 30 cal in jail; Other than get a 30 cal, I don't think there is a right or wrong answer. Size, weight, material, cost, customer service, all vary, and there are trade-offs. I'll defer to others for more detailed experience with specific products. Read the various threads here.
I have 13 or 14 suppressors at this point. I am a "one suppressor per firearm" kind of guy. I have everything from general purpose do all cans to ridiculous unitasker cans. I regularly shoot with other people who also enjoy collecting random suppressors and playing with them, so I've tried out a good variety of them.
What I would recommend to the OP would differ greatly depending on what the OP wants to do with the can.
OP isn't sure: Rugged Radiant, Dead Air Nomad, or YHM Resonator. Great general purpose suppressors that will always have a use.
OP wants a hard use general purpose can: Dead Air Sandman S, Rugged Razor (or Surge), CGS Helios QD, TBAC Dominus (based solely on TBAC reputation and early metering, haven't touched one yet), Griffin 30SD-K, or Silencerco Chimera.
OP wants a lightweight short can for 5.56 only use: YHM Turbo K. Seriously, everyone should own at least one of these. The Resonator K might seem tempting but it meters about 10db higher at the muzzle than the Turbo K. Meters about the same as the Turbo K at the ear, but having an order of magnitude more noise coming out of the front of the gun is enough to make me recommend the caliber specific can. Seriously, this is the can to own for a home defense rifle in 5.56. Performs great, low backpressure, cheap enough that if you use it for its intended purpose you aren't going to cry if you have to long term loan it to the police.
I have used the newest gen OSS suppressors. They are a cool concept and I think the idea has merit, but they are pretty loud. As in still probably ring your ears if used indoors loud. They are good for full auto fire as you'll likely have a lot of earpro on anyway, and they do reduce concussion enough that shooting belt feds at the range all day doesn't make your head feel full of playdough afterward. I think another generation or two of refinement needs to happen before I seriously consider buying one. I think the CGS Helios QD is a better option for similar performance at the moment.
Ultimately anything from a reputable brand is going to be pretty good. I don't prefer the Silencerco muzzle devices and ASR attachment system, but it is fine if that's what you have.
Just curious, how do you like the yhm mounts? I’ve been very tempted to order the turbo k and get the kurz kit.Short Suppressor guy here, so here are my current favorites and suggestions:

I think it is worth it to get rid of blast and concussion from any supersonic rifle round, but not everyone will feel that way.Serious question. Is a suppressed .223/5.56 worth it? I assume by the muzzle fine but when it hits the sound barrier.... I have shot subsonic 5.56 from TomKat before the reorg there. PITA with an AR due to not cycling. Unless a bolt action, not worth it? sorry for the dumb question.
