I've seen some at Caswells in the past. Quentin may stock a few as well.

Ted's shooting range is supposed to start carrying some last time I spoke with owner but that was when I sent my Trust and Form 4 off back in March. Don't know if she got any in yet.

Scottsdale Gun Club, US Autoweapons, Bear Arms, Guns Etc, AZEX, Arizona Gun Exchange, Mr. Silencer, Caswells, Quentin Defense and I believe AJI, now too.
All these guys are Class 3. Pistol Parlour prices are the best, though, except when US Autoweapons has reduction sales. My opinion. Class 3 isn't brain surgery, it's just filling out forms. I've bought from a few of these places. The only guys I really like are Pistol Parlour, Quentin Defense and AJI. All these guys do a good job. Actaully Derrick at AZEX is a pretty decent guy, too, I just don't make it out to Queen Creek much. Pistol Parlour has been around for 30 years and Logan has his shit together. Jeff at AJI is a good dude (although all his good stuff is on Gunbroker these days) so he's not helping the local community like he once was (but he's making more dough now). Don't know when the whole buy local, sell nationally will explode in his face (maybe never). Chris at Quentin is just good people and he actually manufacturers guns. Hopefully, he'll start home growing his own suppressors soon. That would be tremendous. I have small issues with the rest of them and I've purchased from them all (not necessarily class 3). |

No one has a gonzo selection of suppressors, just not economically feasible. Even the guys you think could like SGC and US Autoweapons have lessoned their inventory because the market is soft right now. |

I but everything from Silencer Shop...I've never seen anyone beat their prices, no sales tax, and they ship for free. I have Quentin Defense do my transfers (it's only $45 for Class 3 vs. $75+ at other places), so I still get to support a local shop
Between the prices at Silencer Shop and not paying sales tax I probably save $100 to $200 on each can. |

I stopped in Quentin today for the first time. I didn't even know they carried suppressors until the guy working mentioned it. I've been eyeing an AAC mini 4 and sure enough they had one. Price was below what Silencer Shop sells them for so I had to buy it. If I was going to buy another I would definitely check them.

What was the Quentin Defense price on the AAC Mini 4?
I have two of them myself. One already in my possession, and one pending. Got both from Silencer Shop. The most recent for $499 shipped. |

I've done a lot of transfers through Quentin-including NFA. I've referred a few people there who got pissed because of their hours or the fact that they aren't exactly easy to get in touch with. I have never had an issue with them, but when I need something I go there in person. It's close to me and not an issue. If you are not nearby and want instantaneous communication, it may not be the best shop for you.

Whatever your problem is... Your post was unlcear as to whom you were asking, as you did not quote anyone (coltc?), and you did not ask what he paid for it, but "What was the Quentin Defense price." Hence the link to Quentin Defense. |

Please remember that the majority of popular suppressor manufacturers have RPM (resale price maintenance - price fixing) agreements with their dealers. Dealers can not advertise or sale the cans for less than they've agreed to (unless the manufacturer allows it). The reason you can't find Glocks for varying prices is because Glock is a huge price fixer. Same with Surefire.
So, if you find a suppressor for a better price, it's because that particular manufacturer doesn't have an RPM or someone is breaking the rules (which happens if they can get away with it). |

It was $699. Then I guess I would get a $200 AAC store credit as well. How did you get one for $499 from SS? The price now is $756. Or is the $499 with the $200 credit applied? How do you like it? I guess they are pretty good if you are getting two of them. I have a SDN6 but wanted a 556 can for my 10.5" sbr and couldn't see getting the m42k when then SDN6 would do just about the same thing. |

The third can they transferred for me was just a week or so after the eForm site launched, and they were already up and running on it. |

I paid $499 shipped, and I also have the $200 AAC rebate as well. Kentucky Gun Co was running a suppressor sale, had Mini 4s for $499, and Silencer Shop matched it. Silencer Shop has also been pretty good about making deals via email as well. I haven't paid the listed price on their site for any of the cans I've purchased through them. Though even at the listed price on their site right now, that's also tax free. They'd still be a tad cheaper unless Quentin does NFA transfers for free if you purchase the item from them. Either way, that's not a bad deal to grab one locally. And yes, I'm a huge fan of the Mini 4. I'm pondering getting a third one even. It's really compact, but still very effective at sound suppression. But I'll say, it's not no hearing pro safe on either of my 10.3" rifles. I run an M4-2000 on my 10.3s. It is however pretty much no hearing pro safe on my 11.5s though. And it's really effective on 14.5s with longer/softer gas systems. I had read something about the Mini 4 being nearly as effective as an M4-2000 on 14.5" mids and what not prior to purchasing my first one. I have long put that to the test, and have found it to be quite true. I have a few 14.5s in particular I run a Mini 4 on that are so quiet I can't even tell a slight difference when I run them with an M4-2000 in comparison. |

I'll add that I agree with your logic regarding the M4-2000 and SDN-6 in regards to performance.
But I own both, and the size difference between the two is pretty extreme when it comes to SBRs in particular. That SDN-6, while shorter than most full sized 30 cal cans, is still a lot of length to add to the end of an SBR. |

Posted: 8/31/2014 4:30:44 PM EDT
[#30]
Cool. I thought about picking up a m42k at some point but figured the next logical step was the mini 4. Pretty sure I'm going to grab a PS90 and SBR that soon and I figured the mini 4 would be pretty good on that.
