Re: opinion on shark cans?
First rate! I love mine. It is very, very quite and my POI shift is just under 1/2 MOA consistently.
Also, the gentleman that sells them is a great guy that gets customer service which should also be a concern of yours! He is also working to develop new and innovative products and his product offering continues to show consistent improvements. It won't be the cheapest, but they are very, very high quality.
If you buy one, you will not be disappointed.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
Which one are you looking at? I have a JAWS and that thing is HEAVY despite being constructed out of Ti. Nearly 2.5 pounds. Sounds good on my 338 EDGE but with the weight, I might as well gone with the YHM for 1/3 the cost. POI shift is 3" straight down. MTU barrel contour at 29.75".

Re: opinion on shark cans?
Sharks are good shit. Quiet enough to use under 8' cover without foamies, good tone with the titanium ring, and I don't worry about POI shift because it never comes off.
And David IS biased. Give him a call to find out why....

David, you could be the first company to offer an upgrade program on suppressors. Trade in the old, sporting the new.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
I didn't know much about cans when I bought my Tigershark.....but since then I'm extremely happy with it! Very quite compared to other brands.
David's good people, and that helps a lot too!

Davis is good people, give him a call. Also, there are a few reviews done by LL around here somewhere. Do a search to find them.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
I have had my TigerShark for about 6 months now and I am very satsified. It has a 0.5 Mil POI change down but is very repeatable. I have done testing for accuracy with 10 shot groups with the can versus without. The accuracy is the same if not better with the can on. And the velocity average for 10 shots was 39 FPS faster with the can on the gun.
There is no "first round change" where the first round POI versus subsequent shots is different. I would say dive in with both feet without hesiatition. I would recommend spending the extra coin and getting the TigerShark for its magnum rating as well.
And another +1 on Daivd's customer service.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
We shot some of these out at the range. They seem to be just as quiet as Gemtech hvts. However, that is where the good stopped. At a hundred yards, my 260 on an fn action which is usually an honest to God 1/4 moa rifle opened up to 2 to 2.5" scatter pattern. Im not saying it will behave this way on every gun, but it did on this one. It has a similar effect on my 308. The Gemtech HVT poi cold bore was about 1.5" low but held sub 1/2moa groups. Drastic difference. I hear great things about sharks, but have yet to see it. Gemtech is great but heavy. I am thinking of trying a thunderbeast suppressor. These are supposedly the quietest and most accurate. DK till I try it.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
My Shark .300 can is probably the most well-made can I have every put my hands on. The performance is phenomenal and it is very, very light. I have had no negative impact on accuracy what-so-ever on several GAP guns.
There is some minimal POI shift, as with any suppressor. Honestly, I don't see the reason people get so worked up over POI shift (unless it's just massive). Unless you use the same rifle for hunting (assuming you cant suppress when hunting in your state). Even if you do use it for hunting, why not check your POI shift, write down the correction, and just dial in the POI correction before you take it out to hunt? Unless it's a very poorly constructed can, POI shift should be repeatable-as long as your keep your other variables constant.
I never shoot my tactical guns without the suppressors. Pretty much any range around here in TX will allow suppressors, as long as you have your paperwork. Once you get used to shooting suppressed it is hard to go back to shooting without a can

Re: opinion on shark cans?
MC-
Frank (Lowlight) spoke very highly of the Shark can while comparing them to other top of the class suppressors.
There are also a few videos on youtube of him shooting with different suppressors.
Direct quote from Lowlight.
"Off the shelf I recommend ThunderBeast, Shark, then the SF, but only if money is no object. I ordered 2 AWC, I think it will turn out to be a first class can based off my experience with the mix I have... which the list is long."

Re: opinion on shark cans?
I have a lot of suppressors. The Shark on my 300WM is my go to magnum rifle. I highly advise you get one. POI change is repeatable and very slight for me.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
I've been considering one for my GAP. I have also decided I want to build a 16 inch .300 AAC Blackout AR.
I noticed the Shark has an Inconel blast baffle.......would it hold up to moderate semi auto use with the .300?

Re: opinion on shark cans?
I own and sell several precision rifles and Shark Suppressors. ALL of them shoot .25 MOA with and without the suppressors.
Anyone who wishes to try/test one out let us know. I'm more than confident you will be pleased.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
IMHO, its the best quality suppressor that I have used. QUIET, minimal POI shift that is very repeatable, even after the can is dismantled for cleaning. Outside of quality, is the fabulous customer service. Initially I had accuracy issues with my shark. The can was quiet, with repeatable POI shift, but the groups opened up slightly. I called David and spoke to him about the problem. Instead of blaming the accuracy problem on the rifle, he replaced every component inside the tube, test fired the suppressor, sent me the target, and and returned the suppressor to me within one week. Its a one hole gun right now and I will prefer it over the Surefires. Its not only a great product, but a great product from a company that stands behind their product. Picking up another shark in the next few weeks.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
Quiet. Built to last. Light. No Impact change on my rifles. I let another member (RRFlyer) here shoot with my Shark at CKA's range to see how he liked it. He had been shooting steel at 900 and 1000 yds. He screwed it on and hit steel at both ranges without changing his scope settings. Owner is a stand up guy who always answers the phone or calls right back. His customer service is great as is his suppressor. You won't regret buying it.

As a long time user, I concur w Mr Whitson, amazing quality, scary quiet, freakshow light.

Heavy, yes, compared to a 30 cal can. But for the size, I don't think you are gonna get any lighter being it is all Ti construction. I handled an AAC stainless 338 can, and talk about heavy. I think it was nearly 4 lbs.

Without going to their site, I believe their Titanium can is 20 ounces. The YHM stainless 338 can weighs 38 ounces. Same as the Titanium shark.
I guess with the cost of Titanium being so high, you get more of it with the shark compaired to the AAC. I guess that's why the AAC is cheaper even though they have to spend more money on all the fancy welding they do with their cans.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
Yes, you are right, it is indeed 21 ounces. Never handled that one. The inconel blast baffle and diffuser are pretty heavy in david's can, probably contributing to extra weight over the aac. Not sure where the rest of the weight is coming from though.

Well, Davids can feels like 4 lbs too then. According to their site, AAC's SS can actually weighs 38 ounces which is what the Shark Titanium can weighs.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
They feel super nice. Lightweight too. I plan to get a 308 can in the future.

Re: opinion on shark cans?
The first jaws cans are heavier than I really wanted but everyone knew the weight.
The all the .338 cans I have sold have two inconel blast baffles
Again it should out last your lifetime
I was not trying to be the lightest only the best
Sometimes lightest is a no go I have seen cans come apart at the welds from two thin titanium wall tubing...I won't tell you who because it's not my style. I don't need to trash other manufacturer's
Something to think about...exciting new cans coming out ...long awaited 5.56 can and QD flashhider..new 338.... New company name
