Suppressors Hot Suppressor In a Vehicle

[Jack Master]

How do you handle a hot suppressor in a vehicle?
I am going P-dog hunting again this year and have a new suppressor for my truck gun. (cheap AR) After taking 4, 5,... 8 shots out of the window at P-dogs what can I do with the hot suppressor? Typically the rifle is stowed between me and the center console (next to my right leg as I drive) with the muzzle pointed down. If I have a hot can on it I'm afraid of burning my leg, melting carpet or plastic. Is there a handy-dandy suppressor caddy that can be mounted in the truck? I'm thinking about adding Velcro to a welding glove and sticking it to carpet on the side of the center console.

Anyone have any ideas? products? or procedure?
Thanks

Suppressor covers will help a little to protect you & the car from side contact with the can. I have several Armageddon Gear covers on my bolt gun suppressors, and after 20 shots I can unscrew the suppressor by grabbing the cover with my bare hand.

I don't think I would point the muzzle down in a car if it's going to contact carpet/plastic/floor mat/etc. A buddy shot my suppressed AR and then placed it on my soft rifle case and melted a portion of the case to the can ......

I have a suppressor cover on it, but it slides back real easy.

buy a thick leather welding glove to slip it into or high temp silicone or an M2HB asbestos glove for changing a mg barrel https://www.sparks-military.com/en/...us-heat-resistant-barrel-glove-m2-50-cal.html

This is what I use. Cheap and effective.

Why not leave the barrel pointed out the window that you're shooting from?
If you're legal to shoot from the vehicle, riding around like that should be no problem unless you're on a public highway.
It also eliminates the possibility of an AD through your transmission.

I tried one of those. Would not stay on past 10 shots. Threw it out.

So, I think I'm gonna go with the M2HB asbestos glove and try to find a way to attach it to the center console. It'll create a "boot" I can put the muzzle of the rifle in when stowed and then be able to draw the rifle out from it while it stays in place. Some Velcro, pipe-clamps and structural bubble gum might get the job done. Or a PVC ring with the Glove attached to it all Velcro-ed to the console. I'll try to show you all what I come up with.

Griptastic on suppressor and leather glove on floor or store muzzle up.

Get a Yeti-like coffee cup that the can will fit in. Put the cup in a cup holder, drop it in it when you are finished. Problem solved. You will also be able to carry it into the house without a glove and such.

this is the answer. Use one of these as a sleeve/scabbard to toss the front end of the barrel Into.

Shooting out the window is pretty redneck. You need a folding mobile table like mine.
Then lay it across the back seat, with a can cover, on a soft drag bag.

Shooting out the window is on on dogs-of-opportunity when going in and out of a dog town. Here is our standard setup showing the fella I go shooting with (not me). The bench breaks down for transport. fully rotates. and is hand made by us. We have a matching set to sit together.

I’d lay a folded up towel on the dash and lay the rifle on it. When I was mad at deer, my trk gun always rode on the dash

Have a suppressor cover which is nice when shooting a lot for mirage, but actually takes much longer to cool so I remove when done shooting. Thermal hunting I have used an oven mitt turned inside out with success. Takes about 1.3 seconds to remove when it's time to schwackem.

Nice setup Jack

Let it hang out the window and air cool as you drive. It has worked well for several trips for me.

Me to guide: "I smell something getting hot on your truck."
Guide: "there are a bunch of dogs on the mound at about 250."
Me: "I see them!"
Guide: "DON"T SHOOT!!!!"
Me: WTF?!!?
Guide: The floor mat has melted and plugged your suppressor's muzzle."
Me: "G#DA**NIT!!!!"
The silicone mitt is a good idea. Next time.

not the same scenario, but it’ll get ya. Like others have mentioned, get a suppressor cover. Burn proof gear has been good to me. I also got a mitt thing for straightening irons off Amazon for $12 that I use to take on and off my hot cans. Sometimes rest them on it to cool down after I’ve packed the guns up.

There are two parts to the answer. A very good suppressor cover while on the gun. I use the high heat from Cole Tac because they stay on better then Arm. Gear. I had them first.

then take the suppressor with the cover off and drop it in a high heat pouch like this:https://www.riflesonly.com/high-heat-suppressor-pouch-the-fatty-721

good to go. Literally.

I use a hair straightener cover to sheath/take off. It was around and designed to take heat. Now is mine
