IMO, the ar15 platform demands a tuned gas system for best suppressed shooting comfort.
In my case, I chopped a 20" rifle gas barrel down to 16" knowing that the setup would only run with suppressor mounted. It does so flawlessly with no excess fouling of the action/mag well or gas to the face. |

Buy a 22LR gun/suppressor, actually. Yup. Suppressed 5.56 isn't all that quiet or discrete. .22lr 9mm .45 Even .308 are better choices, IMHO. |

I have a .22 can, a 9mm can, a 223 can and a 30 cal can.
The 30 cal is titanium. I fucked up when I bought the 556 can. It is heavy as shit, but it is pretty damned quiet. It is a YHM. As others have said. Buy titanium. It is worth the extra coin. Buy 30 cal and use it on everything. I have the Wilson Whisper. I'm really happy with it. I would buy it again. |

If I had it to do over.
I would have a .22 can because, there is nothing better. I would have a 45 can because I could use it on a 9mm too. Plus, 45 with a can is the second most fun. I would have a 30 cal titanium can to use on rifles. |

In order of funnest cans first (using cans I own):

I have a YHM Stainless with 7.62 / 5.56 mounts and its way to heavy for AR. I use it for my 308 rifle. I really like the Surefire MINI on my 10.3" Colt. Not the quietest, but it's small. It really tames down the Surefire Mb556k muzzle brake nicely.

I wish I would have spent the extra ~$200 for a titanium can... Stainless steel is HEAVY on the end of a 16" rifle. Granted, I love my suppressor, but lighter would have been better. Also, don't breathe through your nose while shooting suppressed. Pretty much this. My AAC Cyclone .308 can on my 5.56 sbr is damn heavy. The cool factor outweighs all of the weight however. Don't think I would buy a 5.56 dedicated can though. Cost, plus time and bullshit paperwork is getting old, not to mention the $$$.$$. |

So I'm getting a few "lessons learned"
- .300 BLK and .22 / 9mm / 45 are more effective / "fun" to suppress - Suppressing 5.56 provides limited benefits, but is short of an amazing experience - If you get a 5.56 suppressor, get a .30 cal titanium can Right now I just have 5.56 rifles and several G19s. I don't plan on expanding anytime soon. Maybe I should just get some nice electronic Ear Pro

A few years ago, I asked a similar question, I listened.
Buy a 22 rimfire and a 30 cal can, at the same time. That's what I did, and it was, and still is, great advice. I ended up with a AAC Pilot 2 and a AAC Cyclone K. - I use my 22 suppressor on a Browning Buckmark and a dedicated 22lr CMMG upper - there is absolutely nothing funner. - I use my 30 caliber can on a 308 AR, 300 Blackout, and 5.56 AR, the blackout is best, followed by the 308, the 5.56's bring up the rear. I want a 308 bolt gun to shoot subsonic, working on that. Suppressing a 5.56 is useless in my opinion, now if I were a soldier or LEO, I might feel different. Not enough pics: 300 AAC Blackout 
.22 CMMG AR 
.308 
Buckmark

How well would a 30 cal can work with a 22lr ? From the way I understand it a 30 cal can is the "jack of all trades" in the suppressor world?

I believe that one uses the Surefire adapter. You can put the adapters on several gun which will allow you to swap the can between them easily. Like said, threaded cans typically start coming loose after several shots and require retightening. A locking type adapter system keeps the can tight so you don't have to keep checking and retightening, which gets annoying on a semi auto when you're shooting rounds in succession. I wouldn't mind a locking adapter system for pistols. Aside from that there is an advantage to a threaded can. They're more consistent for precision shooting submoa groups because there tends to be a small amount of slop or play in the adapter mounting systems. |

1: When you take the flash suppressor take the crush washer off, too. The can will eventually come loose. The crush washer will let it get looser sooner.
2: Just how hot it can get after One magazine. You may shoot slowly, but the can will still get extremely hot.

If you buy a .22 can make sure you can take it apart.
If buying a .223 can buy the .308 first and use it on the .223, only about 3-5 dbs louder. Rinse then repeat! |
