So... I Bought One Of These...

it was 300 after a 300 coupon...

300 + 200 stamp + 65 transfer fee

supposedly can do 9...40..45..even 22.

I jumped on it being that the coupon was only good for 300 purchases...

please tell me it's "ok" it's mainly for "sh!!ts and giggles/for fun"

Never heard of the company, although seems to look good. It has aluminum baffles and tube, so I wouldn't fire too much 22LR through it. You really need a dedicated light stainless steel suppressor for 22. The stuff is just so dirty with all the molten lead and carbon. You also can't put aluminum is an ultrasonic cleaner. Looked to be a good deal all things considered.

looks okay. It should work great with .45 and .40 S&W

You would be amazed how quiet 180 grain .40s can be.

Not going to do much to suppress 9mm or .22 though. Make sure to bring some water or an ablative gel, makes a big difference. If you can afford it, I use ballistol, makes cleanup a lot easier and works exceptionally well due to it's viscosity. Just make sure to not use the aerosol, but the pure soupy kind.

I know it cuts down on first round pop. I'll let others take from there. Never thought to use Ballistol, good idea.
Don't know anything about these but for $300 it's hard to go wrong, especially with the caliber versatility.

Greater density and surface area. Water or a gel based products squirted into the suppressor, now referred to as a "wet" suppressor will usually help bring down the sound signature another 10dB, which is pretty good. BTW running 9mm is fine in a 45 can, just obviously not as efficient. Running subsonic 147gr 9mm rounds will sound nice, and will require no ear protection. I've fired an Osprey 45 using 9mm subsonics and it sounded almost as good as my dedicated Bowers CAC 9mm can. SilencerCo recommends wire pulling gel, as it's a clear water based compound/gel that cleans up easily and is cheap. If you run a wet suppressor make sure you're using eye protection, although you should always use eye protection, but this especially because the substance in the suppressor will splash\mist in your face. Also make extra sure the bullet path is clear, as gel can reportedly cause baffle strikes, even though I've never encountered this myself. Just put a couple squirts in each side then wave it up-and-down like you're directing air plane traffic, flip it over and do it again.

This is what I use when I run wet, besides just plain water.

Dedicated, as it's almost always on my Cobray M-11 9mm SMG

Couple squirts on each end of the can is fine. On my Bowers CAC 9, I put one squirt in the space in between the first and second baffles, then the same thing on the end. Swing it around to spread the gel evenly. It's actually not that complicated, just use some sense and make sure to have a clear bullet path.

I meant to say I can't afford... Damn Swype...

Suggestion: don't mix rimfire and centerfire on the same suppressor unless you're willing to take it apart and clean the crap out of it before switching back to centerfire. Rimfires burn dirty and gunk up a suppressor right quick.

Kevmo · Dec 30, 2013

ok.. Will do.. thanks!

Kevmo · Dec 30, 2013

sigh i'm still waiting on my SBRs.... so.... yea.

rsideout · Dec 30, 2013

You got a good deal, but I would not expect this mono-core can it to be as quite (dry) as a one that uses K-baffles. I have 3 mono-core cans and none of them are as quiet as my same caliber cans that use K-baffles or other similarly shaped baffles. The only one that is close is the .22 Sparrow, but even that is not as quiet as my AAC Aviator. YMMV

I was checking this deal out as well. Just wish they didn't release it right after Christmas ... i'm flat broke now. No funny money in the bank!

Kevmo · Dec 31, 2013

Awesome, thanks! They're only 45min away! :thumbsup:

When you are able to put your hands on this could you give a short review of the quality and stuff? I'm interested in the weight and length and also the overall feel of it compared to others.

I was set on the Osprey 45 due to its' fit, finish, weight and compatibility with other calibers but this price point is really hard to pass up.
