Holy fuck. I’ll need to buy more cans. Got my dead air nomad approved in one day (lucky me!) and due to work and turkey hunting I was finally able to get out to the range this morning. Holy shit I’ve been missing out! I shot it on my 6.5 Ruger American and it was dead nuts quite. Slapped it on my scar 17 and was shooting steel at 100 and it made it 10x more fun! I’m going to need to rockset the Keymo adapter since that came unscrewed a few times. Had to call it a day before I could swap it on my scar 16 figured I should rockset all the flash hiders anyway before next time. I really need a .22 can now.

Get an alignment rod for each caliber to verify the muzzle devices are correctly installed.

I’m so tempted to buy another can for center fire, but 4 months and not a peep on my rimfire can. I wonder if my electronic print scan was too blurry.

You don’t need a rimfire can, you need several rimfire cans!
And some pistols cans. And some more rifle cans. And then some more… It’s a vicious cycle.

I bought a 22 suppressor in 2011, and did a 9mm form 1 can in 2020. I wish I'd done a form 1 5.56, and 30 caliber before the ATF got a fucked up about form 1 cans.
The 22 is amazingly quiet. |

Don't rush to rockset. Shoot it a few sessions and it will gum up a bit and not back itself off.
Don't unwittingly set your truck on fire with a hot can. |

Now you need the 13in barrel on the scar. Way more handy to carry around and shoot standing with a can.

Nomad is a great can. I have the Ti version one on a bolt gun it’s crazy quiet.
And a gas gun you really realize how much noise the buffer and spring make. |

So what is so cool about it? I want one for my 8.5" 300BO since its a home defense rifle and I want as much help not destroying my hearing as possible if I have to shoot it indoors.
But for the range when I'm still wearing ear plugs...what is the benefit? Part of me wants to start buying some so I can be cool like Garand Thumb and all the YouTubers...but what does it make better? I just keep thinking that money would be better spent on NODS or Thermals and hookers and blow. |

My only disappointment with shooting suppressed is how noticeable first round pop is. I’m surprised nobody has marketed a gas you can spray into the can before shooting or something like that. Still a hoot though.
