First can - questions

I have the ultra 7 in 6.5. I would call tbac. They will answer all your questions. From what they told me the 30 cal can is quiter at the shooters ear then the 6.5 from an ar platform but i still picked the 6.5 for since i planned on a bolt gun someday.

I went the versatility route and chose the 30 Cal Ultra 7 as I wanted to have the ability to use it on most of my hosts until the day I go more caliber specific. If I had to do it over I'd still do the same. Mine gets used mostly on a 6.5G with a brake which I've pretty much never shot unsuppressed since, nor do I plan to in the future, so the brake is fine. I believe I even read that the brake combined with the can helps reduce sound s little but can't confirm that.

I would think a 9" can on a 22" or 24" rifle is going to feel overly long. When I spoke with TBAC about threading a 24" 270wsm, they really came across like I should cut it down a couple inches for handling. So I'd suggested steering towards the 7".

The brake acts as a sacrificial baffle. An open tine flash hider makes the muzzle blast worse on the first baffle or two. If I were you, and I was getting a Titanium baffled can I would get the brake over the flash hider. You should also check out the Dead Air Nomad Ti. I like the keymo QD.

Nothing wrong with the TBac cans, in fact they are very high quality and also come at a premium price. I have been a big fan of some of the more recent companies that have popped up like Diligent Defence or Otter Creek. The Diligent Defense cans have the ability to change the endcaps to suit your needs although I would keep .30 cal endcap on if all other hosts would be gas guns. I have also been using the Xeno system for a mount and muzzle device due to the LH thread and lighter/shorter than the keymo.

Not affiliated at all, just received my first from them and am very happy with it. They were also big players in the form 1 game for a time and have always made top notch stuff.

Those certainly seem like intriguing options. The dominus-sr price tag is certainly getting up there.

Can you elaborate on any experience with an AR platform?

[Happy2Shoot]

I have no experience with the dominus, but I have the Sandman-S. All AR15's or semi-auto's in general will be at least 140 dB at the shooters ear. You will need ear plugs no matter what. So, don't sweat a few dB's. Any 30 cal can on a 556 will be at least moderate if not low blow back as far as suppressors go.

I got the Sandman S because I have some 8" and 12" AR's. I have a Nomad Ti on hold with the feds because the Sandman is a pig. Go light weight.

I say this often.

Either you have the money to spend or you don't. I never try to put other people into a financial hardship.

If you do have it; a suppressor is the thing to splurge on. You will own this the rest of your life.

Take the difference in cost from your low cost item and your high cost item. Now divide that by 10 to twelve months. Doesn't seem like so much now.

That math doesn't mean anything, just sorta makes you fell less bad about spending more.

Also, suppressers aren't magic sticks, but they are nice to use. Once you get used to them you feel like a dang savage not using them.

For me, the suppressor is theoretically forever so the extra cost over 20 years really means nothing. If i have an issue I'm currently confident tbac will still be in business to help me. Like lrr said i remove my suppressor everytime i get home so maintaining zero when i take it on and off is important to me as well.
