DA Sierra 5

It has a 16 inch barrel.Ok, you said AR so thats a start. Not a bolt gun, gotcha. SBR? Long rifles? The difference matters.
The basic fact is that the OSS (now HUXWRX) suppressors will be quietest *TO YOU* on most AR platforms (and for sure SBRs.) They also don't require changing gas block settings. There are quieter choices for bolt guns but that's not what you asked.
What is the quietest 5.56 silencer for your SBR? Which 5.56 silencer is best for the MK18? — PEW Science
What is the quietest 5.56 suppressor? Which silencer has the quietest first round pop? Which suppressor has the lowest dB? Which AR15 silencer is the quietest? Is the HUXWRX FLOW 556k quieter than the Surefire RC2 and Otter Creek Labs Polonium? Is the WARCOMP louder than the 3-Prong? Do you need h
Thank you for the observation. I am not trying to remove ear protection, just help reduce the heard sound as much as possible. This is all about me and mine's hearing and saving as much of it as we can.
^^^This. And this man knows his sound suppression. For 5.56, think .30 cal can. Later, you'll be looking for a .22 can.
Even though you need ear pro, I still find the suppressed rifle MUCH more pleasant to shoot, esp. on those 11.5" to 14.5" barrel AR's.
Agreed 1000%!
Griffin Paladin 300. Buy .22 nose cap and you can still use it if you want to move up to a .30 cal. The difference between the can made strictly for the .22 is negligible. It is full auto capable and will last a loooong time.
Awesome can, it does work on a 22, but the difference is far from negligable. It's good on a 22 rifle, but quite a bit louder than a dedicated 22 can on handguns. Even so, it's awesome on rifle calibers, really similar to the bushwacker 36, but the Bushwacker has a modular mount and 9mm bore, but sounds about the same as the Paladin.
I love Griffin, most of the newer cans are very similar, but have slight differences being they were allegedly designed for specific units or agencies. I love the taper mount, have at least a dozen hosts equipped with taper mounts, really wish the dual lock was backwards compatible with it. The dual lock has the taper in front of the threads, taper mount is behind, and different threading, so they are not compatible at all. You can swap the dual lock or plan A(taper mount) on the modular mount Explorr though. Supposedly they had a design that locked on the back of the tapered flange, but couldn't get it to work quite right. I have an older Explorr 30, and love it, would like a low-BP verision if they make the dual lock 7 design with a taper mount. I know they changed the DL7 design mid production, some have a fixed dual lock mounts, some have a modular DL mount and 1.375x24 threads, and can be swapped for a plan A, but not sure how far they got in production( I would have to order it site unseen), and not sure if it's worth a grand for a DL can then another $100 for a plan A vs just getting a newer explorr and saving a couple hundred.
One thing about the taper mounts. They don't come loose until you want them too. (PS buy the wrench)
They are awesome, huge variety of styles, and never had a problem with any of mine. Snug them up, then they tighten as it heats, then loosens after it cools, 90% of the issues are trying to take off a hot can, and finding it really tight as it is designed to do. One thing I don't like about the Dual loc is that like the ASR, you have to turn the collar to lock/unlock it, and pull it up in the DL's case, so won't work with tucked cans, for that reason IMO keymo is still king of the locking QD mounts.One thing about the taper mounts.

Most centerfire cans sound good on 22 rifles, but the large bore, big internal volume and greater baffle spacing give a hellacious FRP(sometimes SRP and TRP) and usually don't sound great with the higher gas pressures in short handgun barrels. At least compared to a dedicated 22 can
The ASR only requires a quick turn to lock/unlock, the DL has to be pulled to retract, then tighten, and turn to lock. The problem in the one I demoe-ed was that the locking teeth only lined up when the collar was turned to the right OR left, one way it worked, the other way and you either needed to retract and turn the collar the other way or snug the can up tighter till the lock dropped on the teeth. It works as advertised, but I really didn't like it. The Griffin taper mount is awesome though, more than anything that is what attracted me to their stuff. One of the best is their linear comp, adds 1.5" to the muzzle length to clear handguards, and can tuck more than 2" of a can in the handguards. It also seems quieter on my 300BO than any other muzzle device, think it acts more like an extra baffle than their other flash hiders and brakes. They do have the new Over-the-barrel DL cans, basically a 2" longer can with a long muzzle device that allows about 2" of can to recess behind the muzzle. WOuld be awesome for tucked builds especially 300BO with pistol gas so plenty of room in front of the gas block, problem is they are dual lock, so can't tuck the mount under handguards, kinda stupid IMO.
