Money doesn't matter (just don't go crazy). I want a suppressor for all the above. Obviously the handgun is probly out because QD seems to be the more logical option. Also needs to be user cleanable as I will be shooting .22LR through it. I am new to the suppressor world and looking for best option. Also have an AR10, but I think I am stretching too far for that.

AR15 is 12.5" and PS90 will be SBR after about 8 months.

I have heard that some of the QD flash suppressors decrease accuracy when the suppressor is not on it. Is this true or just one of the internets magical fallacies?

You should get a yhm .30 Ti and use it on the ar10 as well.
Just the number of .22 down and blast a couple rifle rounds after the 22 to knock some of the lead out, use the dip to clean it or just soak it ATF.
Take apart rifle cans are a bad move.

You're asking too much of a suppressor with fast attach & user serviceable for .223 & 22LR.

I would suggest as a solution to your quandary - 2 suppressors.

A .308 suppressor for use on your larger center fire rifle rounds from .223 up to. 30 pills. The Gemtech Quicksand is a light suppressor that would suite your needs well. I have one and enjoy it greatly. Gemtech also makes a PS90 bi-lock (their fast attach type of system) that fits on factory FN PS90 threads. If you have your PS90 threaded 1/2x28 you could use the 1/2x28 bilock or thread on a SS 22LR suppressor (as noted below)

A second suppressor, SWR Spectre or Spectre II or the SIlencerCo SS Sparrow. Any of these suppressors would allow use from 5.7 down to 22LR with ease. User serviceable & easy to use. If you have your PS90 threaded 1/2x28 it would be possible to use your SS 22LR suppressor.

If you're really stuck on a user serviceable 5.56 suppressor the Tac 16 and Liberty Constitution are both viable choices... but are thread on designs. You'll be hard pressed to find a manufacturer that makes a fast attach user serviceable 5.56 or 7.62 suppressor. The fully welded design is stronger & can't be put back together incorrectly by accident. Build up isn't a big issue in center fire rifle suppressors with full power ammunition.

Not stuck on user serviceable. Just thought with .22lr it would be good to clean her out. If the .22 is a problem through it I just won't put it on the .22.
So rethinking this. Let's focus on the 5.56 and 5.7.
I would say the Quicksand is definitely the cap of what I would spend. Are there cheaper ones that do just as well? The more money I can save the more I can spend on other stuff!

I personally would get the Silencerco Sparrow for .22lr and 5.7mm calibers, then get an AAC M4-2000 for 5.56mm. Or you could get a AAC 762-SDN-6 for both 7.62mm and 5.56mm calibers.

Ive mentioned this suppressor before in other threads, but people tend to shoot them down when they no experience at all with it, and because it isnt a big name company.

Huntertown Arms makes the Kestrel 556. Its user serviceable, no questions asked lifetime warranty, QD mounts arent out yet, but will be before you even get your stamp back. Watch the reveiws on it on Youtube. I have a form 4 in for one now. I think you will be really impressed with what it has to offer, and the price point makes is unbelievable. If youve heard of the guardian 22, these are the same people who make that, and I dont know anyone who has one that would a have bad thing to say about it.

ETA- heres a review done by MAC

I second this. Excellent suppressors! I tested their Kestrel 22 head to head with a SWR Specter on a FN 5.7 pistol and everybody who was there agreed the Huntertown Arms can was quieter. The fact that it's considerably cheaper makes it a no brainer for me.

Huntertown Arms makes a great can for the money!

I suggest looking into their Kestrel .22 can ($350) for your 5.7 and .22 needs, and a YHM Ti 762 QD ($750) for all of your rifle needs.

With as many hosts as you (will) have, you will def want QD capability.
