My interest is peaked but idk @ 1095! I can already shoot from 300win to 22lr with what I have. I do need to watch the video all the way through though.

Definitely pricey, but if you haven't gotten into the suppressor game yet, I can see how appealing this is.

I've got easily a couple grand tied up in my suppressors and I still don't have full caliber coverage that this one does (granted, some of that is because I bought in the wrong order, buying a 9mm can and then buying a .45 can, instead of just buying a .45 can first and using it on both).

I want to get into the game. With this you are looking at about 1200-1300 for everything and you are well covered for anything else you buy.

In all honesty you are looking at ~1000 for a decent 7.62 suppressor anyways (which would allow many of the rifle calibers), then a 9mm (another 600) and another 200 for a 22.... if you went the dedicated route

I think the cost of this one isnt all that expensive for what you are getting. However, what I am curious to see, is how much of that is included in the initial purchase cost.... and what will be at an extra cost.

If I didn't already own any suppressors and I only wanted to ever purchase one, this might be enticing. Seeing as how I do own several already, this sparks no interest. A large bore can (9mm and larger) will have trouble suppressing the smaller calibers (22lr/5.56).

Nice concept, will work good for people just getting into suppressors

I don't see how this thing is legal considering ATF rules. An extra baffle that only gets use when you change the length using that rifle adapter? WTH?

If it can fully function as a suppressor without the extra baffle, it's legal. The SilencerCo Octane 45M works the exact same way.

My neophyte understanding was this as well. I really like the concept. I would still have a dedicated .22LR can and maybe one for a carbine in 9mm but for a variety of guns you only occasionally want to suppress, it looks cool.

To an extent. Most people getting into NFA stuff only want to get their feet wet so they start with a 22lr can. I'd bet that very few dive in head first and spend over $1,000 on their first can.

It looks like a great idea and if I didn't already have a 7.62mm suppressor (AAC 762-SD - great can BTW) I'd be looking at buying one. I use the AAC on my .308, my 300 BLK, and my 5.56 rifles and it works great. The only place I don't use it is on my .22 since it's cannot be disassembled for cleaning. So I may end up buying a rimfire can at this point.

Am I the only one who thinks it's "Jack of all trades" kinda deal.

Nope. I posted exactly that on the youtube video a couple days ago. "Universal" suppressors typically only sound good on its largest approved caliber. In this case, 9mm.

Masters of None.

I threaded tube for Winmag. I'm not sure how long that would last.

I have no NFA items yet and as a plinker, I have no need to be super quiet but would like to hush a few guns. I have nothing to suppress bigger than a 308 (other than a 1911) so this new suppressor has me very interested. On the other hand, I have exactly 0 experience with any other suppressors. I am also a big fan of not giving the feds all of my monies, so one can to hush them all will get my support.

 

[TNLongShot]

This one has me very intrigued. I was looking for my first can for my 300WM, but if this is as cool as the video makes it sound it would cover all my calibers for a reasonable price versus the cans I was looking at just for 300WM and 5.56. Hopefully availability won't be too low.

 

[jd4320t]

Great idea and I can't wait to see one person. A lot of those calibers sounded the same on video to my ears but I doubt that'll be the case in person.

 

[Mustang1911]

From somebody who doesn't have any suppressors but has been reading up on them I like the idea of being able to use them on multiple guns in multiple calibers but I just haven't spent the time and money to own any yet.
