Who makes the quietest can for .223 and/or .22 caliber? Money is not a concern, just quality and quiet. Thanks for any and all input.

YHM is not "Top Tier". They make a good budget oriented suppressor. Nothing special, nothing bad. Theyre built tough and will last. Great for someone who's not really looking for frills but wants a decent suppressor that does the job.The top tier of 223 cans seem to be AAC and YHM.
For high end cans you should research Knight's Armament and Surefire. As others have stated the difference is likely minimal.
... If you ask 5 people, 3 will disagree.....

There really isn’t a big difference in the performance between M4-2000 (which everyone seems to agree is near the front of the pack) and the 5.56 Phantom. As noted above, I can't hear the difference... but more than that, see the following link for a comparison: http://www.silencerforum.com/forum/...mm)-SOUND-TESTING-on-a-KAC-SR15E3-(16-quot-)?YHM is not "Top Tier".

YHM is also well known for some great customer service. Not so much for AAC... especially recently.
1 - To the OP, there is no such thing as a “quiet” 5.56 can. They are all absurdly loud. If you think otherwise, you will be very disappointed at the end of your wait.
I completely agree with this statement.
I really don't care for AACs three prong design. Did the M16 not prove that a bad idea in Vietnam? I just don't get that design.
Why does the saker55 have a flash hider front? Did the can not do the job?
The three prong flashider design is extremely effective....prong flashider is another story when it comes to the ping. Its incredibly annoying.
The Saker556 has replaceable endcaps. The standard endcap that comes with it is flush, no prongs. The 3 prong, optional, endcap can be added or removed at any time. Its an option, and one that is said to serve very well for full-auto shooting. Believe it or not, suppressors dont always completely suppress flash, especially on full-auto. And Silencerco isnt the only comapny to implement a three prong endcap to their suppressor design, Barrett does the same thing for some of their 50cal suppressors.
Its also very effective in "catching" things... While I plan to rarely if ever use it off the range, I would want to be sure I could do so without trouble. It just seems like a bad idea to me, the military moved away from it for a reason.
Yes I did see it was an option but its hard to believe its actually useful. If you have anymore info on that, I would be interested to read more on the subject. Its just hard to see a small prongs sticking out of the front of the can actually helping? It looks to me like the 50 Caliber cans have a Muzzle brake not a flash hider. Of course a Muzzle brake is there to help with recoil not flash... do you have a picture of the FH version?
What do you mean by "catching" things? ...STD, ...hot asian women. J/K, lol. Im pretty sure youre talking about possible snagging. And if so, thats a possibility. I wont argue that.
But just because the military moved away from something doesnt mean it was the right choice......
I think we all know that. Getting rid of the 1911 (bad decision), and then years later coming back to it (good decision).
Choosing the M9 over the P226,
claiming the M16 was self cleaning a...used the famous jamming issues, etc.....
"And you are correct about the Barrett having a brake. ...The brake is there because theres still gas escaping out of the end of the suppressor. ....can ignite when it hits oxygen. This is much more likely when fired full-auto because not all the gas can be held for long enough inside the suppressor. This causes flammable gas to escape and will sometimes result in a flash.
The truth of it is that the three prong endcap for the Saker556 isnt out yet. BUT, Ive spoken with a few employees over at Silencerco and their testing with it has proven its validity. More info will come when they are released. Personally I wont be getting one. But thats only because I dont shoot full-auto, which is really what its for.
It does happen. Watch the vid I posted a link to and watch closely. There are also a few vids out there showing this on 5.56 suppressors.Yeah BUT does it actually happen? It should not be very hard to tell! Get a M16 with a short barrel and shoot the crap out of it and wait for a flash. I will bet its not going to happen. I could be wrong but I think this is a "looking cool" type thing and not a real problem fixer.
Well if you see more on it, please post it! I would love to see their results and will keep an open mind on the subject.
I think I see a lot of products in the AR15 group of items that are designed to look cool rather than being truly functional.
