    Well. Gemini Technologies has a mono-core set up as well as a few other manufacturers. Baffle stacks are usually in a specific order that requires a rod to load correctly to reduce the chance of a baffle strike. Some better engineered cores have specific interlocking pieces that you cannot misassemble. Some even have a compatible system that it doesn't matter how you put the order of the baffles. Ease of cleaning a monocore system is nice. I also recommend using a baking soda blaster since so many solvents do naughty things to inexpensive aluminum baffles or cores. Titanium, Inconel, Stellite are generally not affected by solvents.

    Ease of disassembly / reassembly, that's about it. Monocore designs have a greater amount of internal air volume so they have nasty first round pop. Well designed baffle stacks will be far better at noise suppression. If your looking for ultimate noise suppression look elsewhere. If lightweight matters a monocore may be what your looking for. I have the Gemtech ( Gemini technologies) GM45 and GM22, they are OK at best. If I had to do it over I would probably not have gotten them. My Tirant 45 is still one of the best centerfire cans and so is my Element 2.

    BTW, Liberty suppresors makes a ss monocore centerfire rifle can

    I can think of no advantage of a monocore. It's extra money, but if you want extreme ease of cleaning, just get a non aluminum rimfire can with cone baffles and wet tumble with SS pins.
