Suppressors 101: Choosing Your First 3 Suppressors - Rob's 9 Suppressor Suggestions (right now)

I got the Silencerco Hybrid 46m and the Silencerco Switchback for my 22s. So far I’ve been very happy with them. 👍🏼

Great info as always. Just curious, why not the deadair mask for 22s?

Just got my flow 556k back after a 5 day approval. First can and I’m very happy.

Based on what you seem to value in suppressors, you should really start featuring CAT. According to Pewscience, WB and ODB are the cutting edge right now in terms of low backpressure while still matching RC2 signature reduction.

Just bought my first suppressor. B&T SRBS 5.56 full size 718.. pretty pumped..hope am lucky in this waiting time 🤞🏻. I might be having regrets, I didn’t buy the Titanium because I didn’t want to worry about rate of fire and over heating…is that not a problem with the B&T ti?

Thanks for your perspective, I find it helpful.

Did this dude really just say silencerco skinkth

completely unrelated but is ericthecarguy your dad? haha you look just like him, and how would you rate the b&t ti suppressor compared to the huxwrx suppressors?

honest question - how often do you actually make the modular rimfire suppressors smaller? the difference between a standard and k can seem enough to separate, the difference in size of the modular rimfires seem ....less relevant.

My first 3, 22 Sparrow, obsidian 9, ventum 762.

How about a budget series for a first time.buyer. there are so many options and restrictions/requirements. I need a good relatively cheap 300 blk 7.5 inch barrel suppressor without spending 1000 total with stamp.

I went with a hybrid 46m and velos LBP during the bogo last summer. At about 300 days waiting on the 46 and velos. At about 80 days on the free warlock 22 and they still havent shipped the free omega 300. Maybe someday eventually I'll be able to have pretty much all my bases covered.

Great advice Rob thanks

what about the VENT 3? for the ar

I’m getting ready to buy the Ventum 762, but I can’t decide what mount to go with. I’m trying to decide between the plan b, SilencerCo ASR, and the Griffin Gate Lok. Any thoughts?

I think for a bolt action hunting rifle I‘d want a suppressor that sleeves over the barrel so as to minimize the added length that can be very cumbersome

My first two have been a HUXWRX HXQD556 and CASH9k. Next can will either be a Rugged Mustang or a Polonium-30.

Got my first suppressor earlier this year. I knew what I wanted in a suppressor and went with Polonium k. No regrets whatsoever best firearms purchase I’ve ever made lol

Currently waiting for approval on an AB suppressor A-10 warthog 5.56 can for my first can. Already been eying other cans to get next 😂 great video

The mask is the best 22 can

I have a DD enticer L. I want a lighter weight 30 cal can and love the aesthetics of the scythe. Can you tell the scythe is noticeably louder than the Nomad L even with ear pro on? Can you comment on the tonal differences between the two?

My recommendations for 1st 3: 22lr can, 9mm can, and 7.62 can. 22 because it is by far the most fun and the most quiet to shoot suppressed. I would recommend the Rugged Oculus. 9mm because you can shoot hearing safe PCCs and pistols all day long. I recommend the new SilencerCo Spectre 9. Just got it two weeks ago, and it is amazing- crazy light, cant even tell it is there, and does double duty in being on my 9mm pistols/Pccs but also can go on my primary HD gun- 300BLK subs and supers. Lastly 7.62- get a flow through can, and then it can be used on 30 cal rifles as well as 556. I recommend the SiCo Velos 7.62. If you want to only go 556, then the Velos 556. But honestly, who are we kidding- I started out with 3, and now in the span of less than 2 months have NINE . . . 😊

IMHO, the Griffin gate lock is the absolute best for a universal AR suppressor. They have a flow through .223 and i assume they're coming out with the same for their .30 Cal. If i could do it over, i would go with their .30 cal.

Do you think the Osprey micro still has a place in the .22lr game?

Great info as usual Rob! Nice to see the Sparrow mentioned - it was my 1st suppressor and I waited almost a year for it. Earlier this year I was looking for a 9mm PCC supressor and picked up an Energetic Arms Sonus (this one was approved in 48 hrs!) It is relatively not mentioned much in reviews though. I got it on sale and I like that it's made fairly local to me in MA. I find it pretty quiet with 9mm subs, and it's amazing with 300 BLK subsonic!

I have a SiCo Switchback and I wish I had 2 TBAC Takedown 22s instead. I have found the switchback to be much louder on pistols so i don't even put mine on it, i just leave the pistol stuff to the Thunderbeast.

Low back pressure seems like your biggest consideration for suppressors.

I prefer my affordable, quiet and low flash suppressors like the Polonium

Can you even still get the QD556? The Ventum 556 has been out for quite a while now.

To add to your 22 suppressors the Otter Creek Titanium 22 is a great can. It weighs 4 ozs (I think) sounds great easy to maintain and will handle 5.7

🇺🇸

No mention for THE gold standard, Omega 300?

Cat, cat, and probably another cat

10.5 300blk trying to decide between the Lahar 30L and the Dead Air Nomad L. Being super quiet is the one thing I am looking for with the price range.

This was very helpful thank you.

The ventum 556 is already out, theres one at my local gun shop

I'm waiting for my Ventum to get out of jail, what can you tell me about the volume from the shooters ear? Maybe a comparison vs the SilencerCo Omega 300, which is one I have experienced. Thanks!

Get a stock nomad instead of the L for your first. Easier to handle.

Would love to see 300 blackout added. Especially because of the shorter barrels generally being used.

Thanks for the details

What are suggestions for PCCs? specifically CZ Scorpion. Thx

Like for the like God, comment for the comment throne

your first suppressor should definitely be a good .22 can. disassemble-able, LIGHT, and not very long (should feel like a roll of lifesavers in your hand). they are ridiculously effective, the most practical, the cheapest, and best way to dip your toes in.

note that my .22 can was like my 4th purchase, and i WISH i had done it first.

Pizza

Need to get a glow 762 and 556 ti and flow 22 ti

Rob, thanks for the great videos. I'm in the market for my first suppressor and I have been watching a ton of your content to educate myself before I make my decision. I Keep up the hard work!

anyone have experience with an ar47 and a suppressor? I know it's a bit weird considering the caliber. I was thinking enticer L maybe? or polo. I only care about sound db, don't care about weight.

My first supressor was the huxwrx ventum 556. I definitely recommend it. It suprised me how quiet it was. No problem shooting with no ear pro. Very minimal back pressure. I only noticed it after 6 or 7 rapid shots. My second was the Diligent Defense Enticer L for my bolt action. Also recommend highly. Its very quiet (for a 308) at the shooters ear, no ear pro needed shooting this either, but standing to the side, its a little louder. I'd 100% recommend either one of these for someones first suppressor.

My first .22lr suppressor quickly spiraled into 4 more cans. The long 6 month wait added to the impulse buy lol. warlock 22, obsidian 9, octane 45, turbo t3, and a thunder chicken

Have you tried the OCL22 Titanium?

Is the Acc cyclops for the 50bmg any good and are they still being made? If not what would you recommend for a bolt action 50?
