Hi Everyone,
I recently acquired 2 LMT Specwar uppers and will be building them out with LMT's mid-length 12.5" DI barrel (when released). I have been researching the latest and greatest suppressor tech and could use your opinions on which 2 suppressors to get (or 2 of the exact same one doesn't matter). One will be built out as a "Mini Recce" with a NF ATACR 1-8 and offset T2 in a badger COMM mount and the other will be a NV gun with T-2 on a unity high mount. Both will have Modlites and MAWLs at the front of the hand guard so the Mini Recce will be pretty hefty. I already have a Silencerco Saker 7.62 (original version) and a Surefire Socom 5.56 RC2. I'd like the suppressors that I will be buying to be durable foremost with sound suppression second. The Saker is a brick and the mounting system is awful (MAAD Mount). I enjoy the 5.56 RC2 a lot. The NV gun will be suppressed 100% of the time and the Mini Recce will probably be a 50/50 blend. My options that I have somewhat narrowed down are as follows in no particular order:
1) Another Socom RC2
2) Surefire Socom Mini2
3) CGS Helios QD
4) CGS Helios QD TI (not released yet)
5) LMT VBS 5.56 OTB (don't know if this will work due to the suppressor slipping over the barrel, will hit handguard)
6) LMT VBS 5.56 Flush Mount
7) Dead Air Sandman S
8) Dead Air Sandman K
9) OSS HX QD 556 TI
10) TBAC Dominus SR
Based on the criteria given above, which would you go with and why? Thanks in advance!
