It comes with 'people velcro' on the end. Very persuasive.

Your a fool for ruling out the AAC 762. I have one, with hundreds of rounds through it. Never an issue. I can shoot .308 with subsonic without hearing protection. It is quieter then a .22. Love mine! Where did you
I've heard a lot of people complaining that the qd latch broke and became useless. That's not something I want to happen, if even they do repair it.
They're on sale at silencershop.
Because pretty soon you'll be buying more of them.In the end, the only thing that matters is YOUR happiness with your choice. Buy what you want and don't look back.

Unless you hate the ASR and KeyMo mount systems, I don't see why you wouldn't put the Hybrid on your list for a rifle suppressor. While it's on the heavier side, it handles almost everything caliber-wise, and you can even stuff an Omega anchor brake on the front if you're into that. With a $200 tax stamp involved, this is definitely one of the times to think about stretching (and I don't usually say that).
Then again, if you're like me, one became two became five for me, so you'll probably have a chance to do this again.
I think suppressing pistols is a very different problem than suppressing long guns, given the issues with sight height, barrel movement, relative length, etc. IMHO, the Hybrid is pretty much an awesome long gun suppressor, but is not what I would choose for a pistol. I guess I'm not really sold on pistol suppressors in general.I'm poking around looking to pick one up after the holidays, the Hybrid 46 looks pretty cool, nice to be able to use it with 9mm, 223, 300BO and 7.62 rifle platforms. Can use it with a handgun too, but it's pretty big, probably just enough fun to get me to pick up a smaller/lighter pistol can down the road.
Back to the OP...never skimp on a suppressor. Between tax stamp, fingerprinting, transfer fees, and so on, you'll have $300-$325 spent before you put a dime into actually buying the suppressor. And that overhead is fixed...you'll pay the same whether you are buying the most advanced can on the market or a pipe with a couple of washers in it.
Looking at silencershop.com there are, obviously, tons of 5.56 silencers. Is it safe to say price is going to dictate quality. I'm guessing upper hundreds to the lower thousand range is what you need to get a quality one? Also are certain ones not a good match with certain AR's?

The line-up I chose was:
Rimfire rifles: SiCo Sparrow w/ Gemtech QDA 22 mount
Rimfire pistol: TI Tac65 direct thread
Shotgun: Salvo 12
PCCs: SiCo Octane 9 w/ 3lug
Rifles: SiCo Hybrid w/ ASR or KEYMO (haven't decided which yet, since it's still in NFA hell)
I think the only thing I'm really interested in at this point is a Maxim 9 - preferably whatever the second gen version turns out to be.
Have to really look into feedback about these “lifetime warranties” and the fact that some of these companies could very well not exist in 1-2yrs+
The Rugged Surge isn't THAT much more than the Razor, and in its short configuration it is only about an inch longer and 2 ounces heavier. And you've got the longer configuration as well for extra suppression. But you're edging up toward a bunch of other great suppressors in a similar price category. Or even two good ones that do different things and are on a really good sale. Probably best to buy five or six just to play it safe. Get your analysis paralysis out of the way on the first one, then really down to business.I'm ready to buy the Rugged at this poi my but I'm hesitant because I'm not sure just how quiet it will be from a short can.

All kidding aside, here is a suppressor comparison document from the awesome folk at NFATalk that you might find helpful. Or information overload.
