    Why wouldn't one just buy Surefire or Gemtech?
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    That is pretty much what I would default to. But I'm curious to know what/who else is out there "innovating", if anyone.

    Honestly, I forget about YHM/Gemtech/Surefire. Based upon what @Hansohn Brothers is saying about the new YHMs, I'd look at the YHM Nitro or YHM Resonator. I'm also extremely happy with my Sig SRD556Ti, hence my recommendation to look at the Sig SRD762.

    I know this might seem like throwing good money after bad but have you tried the Key-mo mount? https://deadairsilencers.com/product/key-mo/
    No argument that the mounting on the Omega's suck but the suppression from the can is superb compared to anything else I've shot or heard, definitely quieter that SF though their quality/durability are in a class all it's own.

    • <7"
    • <16 oz
    • 1.5" OD
    • 5/8x24 brake and hider mounts
    • 1/2x28 brake and hider mounts
    • company in business >5 years
    That's a good list to go by. I would add good customer service record. Two newer brands I like are Dead Air and Rugged, their models and customer support are excellent.

    What about Thumberbeast? Their Ultra 7 seems to tick all of the above boxes and then some, with the exception of the 5 years in business I assume.

    Thunder Beast has been in business since 2007. They make fantastic products and stand behind them 100%. One of my 2 personal silencers is a Thunder Beast FWIW.

    Seems that conservative is the way to go in the can bidness. Thunderbeast seems to fit the bill.



    SilencerCo was close to the same, perhaps a little more savvy on social media. I think the HPA thing did them in. That's at least what the scuttlebutt was when their downfall was predicted a year or more ago.

    Thanks. Good to know that this is available. I assume their flash hider works with this as well? I don't want a brake on this 11.5" upper.

    My Omega is pretty much a one-gun can, and I'm trying loktite on the mount module.
