Suppressors Tried and True.....or Leading Edge Tech?

[Ishikawa]

Gents, I would like to solicit your thoughts regarding 5.56 cans. I have my eye on a couple, and keep going back and forth on which path to take.

The lineup: Ops Inc 15th Model; Sincerco Saker; AAC SR-5

The requirements: I want the best. Needs to work down to 10.5", and equally up to 16". Weight is not a huge consideration, but still important. A nice balance of performance and maneuverability are of interest. I do not have a full auto, but would like to know I can dump a magazine at a group of pigs without concern.

General Use: Pig Slaying...sometimes from a stand / advantage point...often on the stalk / on the run through thick east texas brush.

My struggle: The Ops Inc is tried and true. I like their durability and performance. I don't like that I have to install a brake, or custom fit a collar to my barrel. I need help getting over this "nit-pick". Do I just have sand in my vagina...or am I thinking correctly given that new products are about to hit the market? The SilencerCo is 2nd in line for me. I love the new mounting system, etc. I HATE that we know nothing about the damned thing. Is there any reason to wait for data. The risk with new technology is that it can fall short of expectations. Whereas the Ops Inc is a known quantity. However, I find myself asking: "Is the Ops Inc past its time"? Obviously, other manufacturers have caught on to the need for a tapered mounting surface to align the suppressor to the bore (minimize POI shift)....so I'm going in circles wondering if the newer technology is the way to go. If SilencerCo and AAC had not released info on new products this year...I would have already pulled the trigger on the Ops Inc.

I would be grateful for any Ops Inc owners to comment on shooting with just the brake (no suppressor attached). Comfortable? Bad range etiquette? Hands down, just get it and shut up?

As well, anyone with thoughts on the newer products (SilencerCo) would be greatly appreciated as well.

I didn't have such a problem picking a .308 platform...as I wanted a thread on can. Thanks for any guidance / help you might offer.

OPS is proven reliable and tough as nails. I would go with the tried and true over the ones that aren't really even out yet. No one has any significant time behind them yet. While I don't doubt Silencer CO and AAC's ability to deliver a sound product, I do doubt the fact that neither are proven and have been under heavy stress. Only the manufacturers will tell you they "have tested them extensively". But let's be real, every gun/suppressor manufacturer in the world thinks they are at the top of the list when it comes to design and function.

Go OPS INC. Im glad I did. Find one in stock though.
Check Promisedland Guns, Major Malfunction, ADCO, and other dealers that are on this site.

Good luck.

I'm an Ops Inc fan so maybe biased but i think you answered your own question, how can you argue with Ops' track record? The 15th is a badass can, also have you looked into the M4M, a buddy and I did a comparison video if you missed it

I did see this. Great video and resource! Really bent me hard towards the M4M. If you only wanted one (who wants just one?), would you get it over the 15th?

You're right VJJ...been selling myself in circles though. Maybe the novelty of new tech / marketing got me all confused upstairs.

depends on my cash flow, if money wasnt the concern probably not, id get the 15th, but the quality and cost makes the M4M a damn good deal

I'm actually shocked VJJ did not catch this sooner...

LOL. I am not ashamed to admit I get wood when watching gun porn.

Thanks for the sanity check, guys.

Re: Tried and True.....or Leading Edge Tech?

You should be fine with the 15th Model. If I was to do it again, I would have gotten the M4M instead of the M4S. But the M4M wasn't available at the time I got my M4S. I have tried to destroy the my Ops Inc 16th through repeated 100 round Beta Mag dumps through a M16. Even the Ops Inc brothers gave it a try and stopped since the gun was too hot to hold.

I wouldn't worry too much about having a brake on the gun. You don't plan on shooting unsuppressed do you? Also, if the barrel has the M4 cut, you don't have to get anything specially profiled to fit anything other then the 12th model in the 5.56 range of cans.

Re: Tried and True.....or Leading Edge Tech?

You are asking if you should get something known to work great for years versus something that isn't even out yet based on the claims of the manufacturer who wants to sell it to you?

It doesn't seem like a hard decision to me.
