Join the contest SubscribeWhat I’m running is very identical to the Daniel Defense MK18.“SBR” is rather vague. What are you actually shooting?
The Dominus-SR seems to be a very popular choice from the research I’ve done so far.I would look hard at the Dominus-SR and Dominus K SR.
It's an extremely versatile can, it's suited to a lot of different applications and roles.The Dominus-SR seems to be a very popular choice from the research I’ve done so far.
Surefire SOCOM RC2.Preferably durable.
Preferably durable.
It’s a suppressor thread, so it will get there regardless of intent…Is this thread supposed to turn into a game of "how many suppressors can I list"?
There's so many good options these days it almost doesn't matter. When it comes to suppressors, we are essentially debating around nuances.I spent some time with the OSS/HUXWRX Flow 556k and HX-QD 556 Ti this afternoon. Both worked well, and since they're the suppressors I've shot most recently, it's what I'd recommend. Check back tomorrow for a completely different answer!
What caliber? 5.56? 6.5? 7.62?Looking for a good quality suppressor for a sbr. So many options out there. What’s repeatable, durable, and not too long. Would also prefer a quick detach.
Been running a few drills on the range and it would be nice to be a few decibels quieter.
Thanks!

Rarely you hear of people regretting a suppressor purchase.
DA definitely doesn’t make anything suitable for an untuned SBR, and I think every independent review shows that.Just remember that this is a life Long commitment ( essentially) dead air is fine, i own several. That said it’s not in the same category as surefire. A sandman s on an mk18 and a rc2 are not equal. In terms of sound and flash
DA Sierra5 no? I'll be running one of those on my 12.5" SBR once the can gets out of jail in a year. Money no object, I'd go with the HUX Flow 5.56. Will have zero impact on the gun's ability to run, less gas to the face, far less back pressure, will run cooler overall, does a great job of suppression according to PEW, compact, etc...DA definitely doesn’t make anything suitable for an untuned SBR, and I think every independent review shows that.
You just listed a bunch of reasons the why Sierra5 isn’t a great choice for an untuned SBR. I’d rather have a Helios QD, Flow 556k, SCI-Six, R556, or RC2 for the job, not in that order. And there’s probably more I’m not thinking of.DA Sierra5 no? I'll be running one of those on my 12.5" SBR once the can gets out of jail in a year. Money no object, I'd go with the HUX Flow 5.56.

I haven't seen any back pressure numbers and PEW hasn't tested the Sierra5 yet as far as I know (maybe I missed it). Granted, I have an adjustable gas block on mine and it's a piston gun. But like I said, I would have gone with the Flow 556 had it been in stock at the time. I already own the 762Ti and it's been fantastic.You just listed a bunch of reasons the why Sierra5 isn’t a great choice for an untuned SBR.

No PS review and it doesn’t sound like there will be one. However, there are plenty of comparisons out there from consumers. From what I’ve seen, it doesn’t stack up to those I listed in regards to backpressure/at ear suppression, although it looks to be better than the Sandman’s as a whole (for 5.56).I haven't seen any back pressure numbers and PEW hasn't tested the Sierra5 yet as far as I know (maybe I missed it).

With an AGB I don’t think it matters, but for a fixed gas shorty why gamble when we have known quantities?
Well that sucks, been waiting to read a review by PS. Are Dead Air just not handing one over for testing?
Saker K with asr breakI run Saker ASR on mine

This is the problem when you have one and only one entity that can execute testing via a closed standard via a for-profit relationship.
Did he say he’ll get to it? I’m pretty sure it was “ask Dead Air if they want me to test it.” That doesn’t sound like something he intends to do.
EDIT: it would be nice if member demand actually got him to test some TBAC cans as well. One Ultra 9 review doesn’t say anything about their better/more popular/newer offerings.
TBAC comes up all the time on hunting forums as well, which makes sense. Until recently all of their cans were focused on precision bolt action applications.Outside of this website I basically never see tbac mentioned. He has tested a Dominus can but hasn't done the write up on it because basically no members ask about.

The catch here is that Jay can basically drive the market. Anything he reviews (and publishes) will get the spotlight.
