First new can. The wait is on.

[fullauto71]

I have been putting this off for a long time for one reason or another. Well last Friday I made the leap. I purchased a Sparrow 22 and filed my paperwork with the ATF. Now comes the hard part. WAITING. I am already thinking of getting another in the works. I would like to get several other for different calibers. But I am so impatient this whole waiting thig is going to drive me nuts. If the research I’ve done is correct I should get my can out of jail around June / July. I am so stoked.

Congratulations and welcome to the club. You will find they are addictive and you'll end up with more than one.
What are you going to put it on?

When you decide to get another, my advice is to skip the 556 cans and get a 30 caliber instead.

 

[fullauto71]

I have a 10/22 that I have done a lot of work to. I plan on getting a KIDD barrel for it. I also want to get either a SR22, P-22 or a S&W Shield 22 (I will researh these while I wait for my can to get released). I have a couple glocks and AR’s for the new (to be purchased) cans. Will a 9MM can work on the 5.56 well? I believe the threading is the same ½-28 correct?

I will look into that. I do want to get a 308 in the future.

^^^This is great advice. I bought a 5.56 can pretty early on in my suppressor buying experience. It is not much lighter than a .30 cal can and does not suppress the sound much more than a .30 cal can.

Another +1 for this.

I got a 5.56 can (my first and only for now) and regret not getting a .30 cal.

Do you guys have recommendations for a can? I am thinking I would like it to have a QD mount for use on multiple firearms.

 

[T.Lex]

I'll defer to the others, since I'm still researching that myself. I want to know the answer, too!

QD/universal mount (my current can is the Gemtech Halo which can mount to almost any AR-style flash hider) is part of my best-case-scenario, too.

My next one will most likely be an Omega.

It depends on the suppressor.

 

[BiscuitsandGravy]

So it appears the prevailing wisdom is don't get a 5.56/.22 but rather .30 cal can as a 'multi-purpose' can?

If you want to save some $?

 

[Rookie]

Not exactly. Get a 22 rimfire can and a 30 caliber can.

 

[ACC]

Yep. .30 can and .22 can are most important. Though if you shoot .300blk subsonic and any 9mm, a 9mm suppressor is an option. .45 suppresses very well too and you can shoot 9mm and .300blk through it

I think the Omega set the bar for 30 cal cans. However, there are limitations on it via the warranty on certain barrel lengths with certain calibers. The Dead Air Sandman series of cans have zero limits on barrel lengths per caliber and will warranty all of them.

I have looked at the Dead Air Sandman and like it at first glance. I will do more research on it though before I decide. Is it QD capable?

 

[KJQ6945]

If you want a 5.56 can, get a .30 cal. If you want a 9mm, get a .45 can. When researching cans, pay more attention to the cost, and availability of the pistons and QD muzzle devices, as opposed to the cost of the can. Once you suppress a couple guns, you'll want to suppress them all. The cost of the accessories can quickly surpass the price of the can.

The Sandman-S and Sandman-L are QD cans, the Sandman-Ti is a direct thread 5/8-24 can

The Sig SRD762-QD is a pretty impressive compact can too

Beat me to it lol. If you want a super compact can, The Sandman-K is qd as well.

That one has my interest, but i wonder how much suppression you give up.
