Quote History Quoted:
It took me months to decide between a Sandman and Recce 7. I think both are awesome. The lack of locking ring on the Recce 7 is why I ultimately went with the Sandman L, but between the Sandman S and the Recce 7, the Recce 7 is quieter in the tests I've seen.
Mobilecommand has a ton of cans and has said the Recce is his favorite if I remember right.

Sorry, just saw that you're looking at the Sandman L (not the S) vs. the Recce 7. In the tests I've seen, the Sandman L and the Recce 7 are neck and neck for suppression. I seriously don't think you can go wrong either way.
Things I like more about the Sandman:
1. Locking ring
2. Interchangeable end caps
3. User-swappable mounting system
4. Stellite baffle stack
Things I like more about the Recce 7:
1. Cost
2. Weight
3. Length
4. The mounts themselves are smaller and lighter
I think either one will last a lifetime.
