Quoted:
A Silencer Shop employee recommended a Sig Sauer SRD556 QD to me over the phone today. I can't find much about them online anywhere. Am I missing something here? Anyone have any info? Thanks. I have not heard anything bad about them, and as long as you talked with one of the SS guys about your needs and wants, their advice is solid. There are a lot of solid choices on the market now. It's honestly hard to go wrong. Price and availability should be a primary focus. What's your host? What are you goi to do with it? What is your first priority interns of weight, suppression, etc? |

A person whos oppinion I trust, said their QD 338 model is very nice at suppressing. I havent seen one or heard one in person.

Silencer Shop won't steer you wrong. I'd buy one without hesitation. I want the SRD338Ti-QD model. Just waiting for SS to get them in stock.

You don't see much about them because it's taken SIG an eternity to get serious numbers of them into the market and they still aren't quite there.
I don't have experience with the 5.56, but their 7.62 cans (particularly the Ti ones) are the quietest .300 BLK suppressors I've tried. .308 performance isn't shabby, but .300 BLK is amazing. |

Host will Be a 10.5 AR, range and HD gun, more concerned with suppression than anything. I actually wanted to go with a direct thread but the guy at Silencer Shop was very much against them. He spoke very highly of the Sig. |

Will there ever be a chance that you want to shoot .308? This video was entertaining to me.

I've shot and listened to a few of them in person. They are scary quiet, at least the .30 cal models were.
I'm not the biggest fan of their QD system. It took two Sig reps cranking on the can pretty hard to get it off the gun at the QRF shoot back in May. They put wrench flats at the base of the can so you can wrench it off if need be, I dunno if I really like that though. They do sound very awesome though. |

I just got back from my LGS and they had a direct thread SRD556 in stock. I think this will be my first post 41F purchase. Filing as an Individual from here on out. Thanks FBHO.

This was right after the rifle had been fired a bit, he needed a mitt to grab the can so I presume it was still warm at least. It took two of them turning the can to finally get it to break loose from the rifle. Might have been a fluke, I dunno, but everyone else's QD setup that day came right off one handed with no issues. That just stuck out to me. |

I'm excited to hear too My MCX was new an unfired so first I needed to sight it in MCX & Vcog. I did that within 10 rounds @ 100yds using 125g SS ammo. I actually put 2 of last 3 in the same hole 1/2in off center and called it good. Then came the suppressor test, 1st shoot was 7-8in low and 2in left. Concerned I checked the suppressor for tightness (it was) and removed to inspect (ok). I then fired 3 more rounds unsuppressed and that group was now allover the place as well. Had 5 rounds of that box left so I reinstalled the can and with as much precision as I could muster squeezed of those remaining rounds and again huge dispersion. At threat point I stopped shooting the weapon altogether and went to shooting something else to try and rule out shooter. I used my HK MR556 and got great groups using that weapon which optic is an Acog TA31 with chevron. I will clean MCX today to see if the barrel came loose a or any other abnormality and report back. If anyone can think of anything else I would appreciate the input. Never got to try subs but it definitely sounded quieter then the 556 with SF Socom. Sent using iPhone. |

I would stay away from their .22lr offering though. I've not heard it in person but I know someone who purchased one and hated it immediately, evidently it was an impulse buy. Said it was hardly hearing safe on a pistol. Dead air's sound testing also has it as second from the worst of all that they tested on pistols.

The rifle cans are great, the pistol cans are loud for what they are.

I've got a SRD762Ti in jail. Never thought I would even give Sig a chance but this past summer I was at a silencer shoot and heard something a few booths down that sounded amazing and I had to know what it was. It was either this can or maybe the QD Ti on a 300 BLK MCX. It was the quietest rifle at the shoot, even sounding as good as Liberty's integral that was quite impressive. I was also quite impressed with their 5.56 can (can't remember which one) on a 11.5 SBR. There aren't many reviews/information out there but a few videos (Capitol Armory IIRC) confirm just how effective some of the cans are.
Needless to say I picked up the direct thread 762Ti and can't wait to dedicate it to a .300 BLK build. |
