The main benefit of choosing a modular suppressor is the ability to quickly adapt the suppressor to what you need without having to carry around multiple cans with you to the range, etc. You also don't have to make an often times difficult choice between a long and short suppressor. Not to mention having to purchase two cans, pay two stamps, fill out two Form 4's and then impatiently wait twice.
Modular suppressors' usefulness should be pretty apparent. Everyone likes flexibility and choices. Modular cans do just that. Sure, there are some who will find a configuration they like and stick with it only changing once or twice a year for a special circumstance but wouldn’t you want the ability to change it around if you needed to?
Since you guys brought up the Surge, let me talk about it for a moment. It ships in a 9" configuration and can be configured to a 7.5" with the removal of the Adapt module and re-installation of the end cap on the main suppressor body. This action takes a few seconds and once hand tight you can get back to shooting. The Adapt module does not require any thread-lock compound during installation.
We chose 9" and 7.5" configurations based on the most popular 7.62 cans in the industry.
Sound reduction is very comparable to competitor's products in the same lengths. Durability is something we take very seriously - we designed the Surge taking this into account by making the mount and expansion chamber out of a single piece of 17-4 stainless and utilizing a full Stellite baffle stack. We test every can that leaves our facilities for function as well as accuracy. If a can doesn’t meet our standards, we don’t ship it out. We're so confident in the Surge, and all of our products, that we back them with a full lifetime warranty. If anything happens to it, send it back and we'll repair or replace it for free.
