Hey all. I live in Illinois and it is my belief that we'll get suppressors legalized this year. I've got money set aside and am looking for a quality can to fit my needs.
I've done as much research by reading as I think I can, but without a chance to actually try them I'm looking for some educated opinions on P&S.
Primary use for can will be home defense and to keep the noise down for the neighbors when I'm training in my yard.
Can will be on 9" BCM 300 BLK the majority of the time. Would also like QD to be able to switch it to my 11.5" BCM upper for 5.56.
Only other consideration is keeping the length down as much as possible for manuvering inside if necessary. I'm not LEO so this is purely for defense and running in training courses.
Have narrowed it down a bit to a few brands and would like to know everyone's experience running them.
Surefire Mini 2.= Through modcasts I've heard the guys speak volumes about surefire as being good to go. Got to handle a few and the QD seems solid. Definitely one of the smallest packages out there. Price is on the higher end and have to buy the muzzle devices as well, but if it's the best choice I'm willing to slap leather.
Dead Air Sandman S= Been hearing good things about these lately. A developer from SilencerCo went off on his own to start this company from what I understand. Has interchangeable end caps with different diameters to help reduce DBs when you go from 7.62 to 5.56. Also comes with one QD muzzle device when you purchase and price point on silencer shop is a few hundred less than surefire to start.
Gemtech Quicksand= Although I don't get the best price or shortest package this one, the quality comes highly recommended by Kyle DeFoor and some other instructors I've been to. Having not had a chance to test suppressors myself I've got to lean on trusted sources that have experience with them. Also had a chance to talk to them at their booth at a convention and their customer service was incredibly helpful. Seemed very willing to work with people and educate.
Opinions of these? Any others I should be considering? Thanks in advance
