Basically, all my centerfire silencer purchases have gotten smaller and smaller since I started collecting. Started with 3 YHM .30 cal cans, then got a Specwar 556, then a Surefire RC1 followed by and RC2 and finally a Specwar K.
So now, knowing that I really like Surefires and smaller, lighter silencers, I'm looking for feedback on the Surefire Mini (current generation). And pics are welcomed as well  .

I like mine but I have no other 556 cans to compare it too. It's a Gen 1.

It's small. No doubt. Buddy of mine and I shot his mini next to my Saker K on 12.5 556s. The suppression is not enough to be noteworthy at all. Shooting a few rounds without ear pro you could basically tell that it wasn't as loud as a fully unsuppressed shot, but couldn't discern any level of significant REDUCTION. |

What are you thoughts on the Saker K? Also what mount do you use? |

What are you thoughts on the Saker K? Also what mount do you use? My thoughts are that it is a little can that suppresses SBR noise very effectively. Specwar K is lighter but I have no doubt that my Saker can handle some wicked abuse. I use a trifecta mount, and I've had nary an issue and I beat the snot out of this can and run it HOT. |

^ Sounds like a good device.
The Specwar K is a great can with small size, low backpressure and good sound, I'm just not really fond of the ASR mounting system. |

Mini's size is awesome for SBR's...but obviously will be louder than a larger can. Saker K with a direct thread mount will be just a little longer than the Mini.
Some pics:

If you are satisfied with the full size surefire I believe you will be happy with a mini. I have both and mostly use the mini for the lighter weight out front. I wear a set of plugs with either can so I prefer to give up some suppression on 5.56 for less weight.

I just picked up my Gen 1 Surefire 5.56 Mini-Monster last week, but unfortunately haven't had a chance to shoot with it yet. I hope to change that soon and then I can give a report.
