That's right, AAC has sued for "harm" alleged to have been posted on AR15.com.
AAC apparently posted it up on their shill forum first. Now ian187 has gone to ARF's legal forum for advise ... How about you legal beagles read up on it, and let ol' ian know your thoughts ? "AAC sues ian187"  |

Thanks for the update. Looks like my first, second and all subsequent Suppressor purchases will be SWR. I was on the fence between SWR and AAC for a few months, hence my not taking "the plunge" yet, and this just fucking did it.

If you're talking about .223 cans, I don't think you've heard them side by side. If you're talking about some other calibers -- yeah, I'm with ya. Personally I think SWR, AWC, and Knights make some of the best cans there is. I'm not a big fan of gemtech. Most of their cans are loud. But AAC makes a hell of a .223 can. |

Personally I would ask Ian these questions. Did you use a Wifi connection? Do you live alone or in an apartment complex or in close proximity to others? Do you use the Wifi connection in close proximity to others? If the answer is yes to the Wifi, I would tell anyone to go pound sand. |

If ian can't produce some evidence of what he's saying, why would anyone listen to him in the first place, and on what grounds could AAC sue him? AAC is going to waste a bunch of money just to prove how big their legal dick is, and all they're going to do is alienate a whole lot of people who're gonna spend their money someplace else. ~BakerMike |

I'm going by only what the PDF says. I don't follow suppressor stuff. Saying so and so's product sucks is one thing. Saying they are losing defense contracts or being phased out in favor of company y is another. On forums where industry people are active, I could see it being libel. If he can't produce a source, he's f'd in the a. |

I have contemplated gettng a can for a while. I ruled out Gemtech as they refuse to sell cerain models to civilians, not like I will ever buya .50 cal or put a can on it, its the principle. I looked at some AAC's but never took the plunge. Glad I didn't yet. Who make as good can for a 9mm? (not Gemtech or AAC) I am thinking about SBRing a 9mm upper and suppressing it. |

The best 9mm subgun can, IMO, is the AWC Mk9, which I recently purchased but have yet to try. If you want to go for a pistol can (which would work just fine on that SBR) I'd take a good look at the SWR Trident, SRT Matrix 9, and AAC Evo 9. If I was going to buy one right now I'd take the Trident based on what I've read, but I've never heard one. |

The way I read it, AAC did not allege that his statements were false, they alleged that they (the statements) hurt their business. They do not demand Ian prove his statements or retract them, they demand he erase them from ARFCOM, but not his hard drive (  ).

I don't keep up on Suppressor stuff. My guess is AAC doesn't care if they win or lose. By filing the suit, they can drain Ian financially and make his life generally miserable. Who wins won't matter. A lawsuit based on spite is designed to bleed the other side dry. Whoever has the most cash for lawyers wins. Stupid shit if you ask me. This is my opinion. Your opinion may vary. ZM |

Yeah I heard one of there 9mm cans on a beretta (vortex?) 92fs type pistol. I just wasn't overly impressed. The only time it came close to the gemtech was when it was wet, Couple that with them owning a message board which claims to do independent testing when in reality they are pimping there own shit it kinda makes you look at things different. |

Not really. AAC would actually have to prove what he wrote was a lie, that he knew it was a lie at the time he wrote it, and that it caused a measurable harm. |
