![]() ![]() Second pick would be a CGS Hydra, which is reported to have outstanding performance. 22 only.but it's wonderfully light, and you can adjust the number of baffles to get the length or performance needed. Works great for 15-20 shots, then refill.įourth. Third can was an AWC Titan Three.which was what I wanted to begin with. Nice can, performs well, but not designed for user servicing (the current Bowers cans are). Second can was a SWR - which is now made as the Bowers Paradigm. 22 pistol, I'd get a High Standard and put a can on THAT. ![]() If I were looking at an integrally suppressed. The suppressor part is OK, but basing it on a Ruger Mk II cripples it. My history: Got talked into an AWC Amphibian II. Tip: If you really get the itch for a specific can, buy that. Could probably make a case for a multi-cal 45 can like a Griffin Bushwacker or SiCo 45m that can do everything, then a separate 22 and 30cal rifle cans. 45 cans are kinda specialized, can do most.pistol cans, but big bore rifle cals.can be fun, 458socom, 450 bushmaster etc. Lots of blowback and port pop, huge heavy cans to quiet it down, and even then they are pretty loud. Then there are things that were kinda boring, centerfire pistols, especially 45 being that. Have to say, after shooting suppressed for a few years, have found some things that have exceeded my expectations, mainly 22(stupid fun and hollywood quiet). There might be a few cans like the DA Wolfman that can arguably be a better PCC can, but the Oculus is well balanced for both. The Obsidian is awesome on PCCs or handguns, like the Oculus it's modular for full and K size. My Rugged Oculus can run either as a 3" 4oz "K can" tiny on a pistol and hearing safe, or in full config it's 5.25" 7oz and quiet. Some aluminum cans can be stupid light, the Sico Warlock is 6" and 3oz, but suck to clean. My DA Mask is really quiet, but 6oz and 5" long. Even if it's not "serviceable" you can plug the bore, fill it with CLR or dip and it will dissolve fouling, dump it out, flush with hot water, then a few rounds will clear out most anything left.įor a suppressed 22 pistol, depends on what you consider important, suppression, size or weight. Most of the time rifle calibers have enough heat/pressure to break up fouling in the can before it can build up, but sometimes dirty ammo or cast/polycoated 300BO subs can foul it. Generally rifle cans aren't serviceable, a welded baffle stack is more durable, and can allow for "tubeless" designs with lighter weight and more internal volume. 30 cal cans are the way to go, usually the same sound performance as a 22 cal can on ARs, but less backpressure and just a little longer/heavier. Dead Air, Rugged, Griffin, Sico, YHM and Q all have several good models with different options. Griffin taper mount is the way I went with mine, they make adapters for 3rd party cans, have a good variety of muzzle devices, and are really simple and effective. SiCo's ASR requires access to turn the locking collar, but it's simple and avaliable. Dead air Keymo is awesome, super convenient, but heavy and expensive. Some cans use standard-ish 1.375X24 adapter threads, and you can swap 3rd party adapters and muzzle devices provided you have clearance to the blast baffle. That will dictate the choice as much or possibly more so than performance. The problem is rifle cans, and more specifically their usually proprietary mounts. It's easier to choose cans from different brands for pistol and 22 being they are all somewhat standard direct thread or 3 lug. They perform well in their full size, and the short configs can be useful, the steel baffles are easy to clean, and their warranty/cust service is good. Thoughts or advice on either can or others greatly appreciated.Have a few, The Rugged Obsidian and Oculus are possibly the best, most versatile pistol and 22 cans out there. Anyone running the Rugged Obsidian 9? The Rugged seems like a killer deal with the promo package going on right now. I know a few on here are running the Dead Air Wolf and seem pretty happy. With the Dead Air I would have to spend an addition $110 to get their 3 lug mount. Total value of the Obsidian 9 promotional accessories package is $350.00. Plus, Rugged is offering their promotional accessories kit which includes (1) M13.5×1 LH Piston, (1) 3 Lug Mount, (1) Combo Tool, (1) Fixed Barrel Spacer, and (1) 5/8×24 Fixed Mount. However, the Rugged is priced at $581 and the Dead Air at $799. Unfortunately the dealer was out of the Rugged Obsidian 9 so I did not get to do a side by side comparison with the Dead Air Wolf. I mostly will use it in the full configuration but do like the option of switching to a K config if needed. I like both of these cans and got to demo the Dead Air Wolf SD on Saturday at the local gun shop on an MP5. ![]()
