Quoted: Your right, I have one and just leave it on my M11 as a sub gun can. I have a friend that is wanting to get his first can and asked about the Optimus and told him for the price he would be better off buying a Turbo, some quality $200ish rimfire can and a blow out Kraken (which I think they are gone now).

So I was looking between the Wolf 9SD & Rugged Obsidian 9 (due to it's multi-caliber capabilities incl 22 cal) but then see The Wolfman today and I'm considering leaning toward The Wolfman. Any insights anyone can offer of a comparison would be much appreciated. Host guns that'd mostly be used are an APC 9 Pro I just got (love this one!! If you haven't shot this, you need to!! Can't recommend it highly enough!)\, secondarily for a VP9 and then here and there for a S&W M&P 15/22. Open to other ideas or suggestions but I believe it's between the two mentioned.
Sure do appreciate it! |

Didn't the ATF rule that wipes are suppressor parts and thus mere mortals (non-SOTs) can't manufacture them? Did this change when I wasn't looking? Otherwise, I'm not quite sure how users are providing them.
(If it did, wow, I'm buying a Gemtech Aurora II ASAP.) |

Son of a........
Back when I was seriously considering the Wolf I knew in the back of my mind I'd want it more for .300 blk than for 9mm application. Then the Nomad came out and it made more sense so I figured if I was gonna splurge on another can from Dead Air that was the one. Now this comes out and I'd be torn between it and a Nomad. This with the wipe would be killer on my Ruger American in .300 blk. Thanks alot Todd lol. I may have to revisit my battle plan here. I suppose it might be good I didn't jump on the Turbo K the other day when it was released. I still want one but I'll be honest, the multi caliber capability of this new Wolfman including 5.56 sounds tempting. Will be curious to see what some folks say once it's in some reviewers hands. Turbo K may have to wait. |

Quoted: No, that's not what the crown ruled. They just notified us, as a manufacturer of accessories, to not distribute said accessory any more unless it was through an SOT doing a "repair". This was after another manufacturer (if you can still call them that) decided to ask the ATF about the selling of wipes. Sometimes asking questions of the ATF is the only competitive advantage a company has. But anyway, the ATF then sent Dead Air a letter. It was for us. Nobody else. When asked about the Bardwell letter, well, they had never heard of it. We decided to follow the current direction because we're kind of into living in our homes and not federal buildings.

Not really arguing with that, but it's pretty bold (stupid?) for DA to tell its customers to break the law in their marketing pitch. View Quote |

Is there any barrel length restrictions on this with 5.56/.308?

Thanks for the input... hopefully I'll be able to get some hands on with them before making a call. Thanks again!

Quoted: I have both the obsid 9 and the wolf. obsid works great on pistols and use the wolf on the mke subgun in 3 lug config. in my opinion the wolf to big for pistol use - in long config. i only use in long - max suppression. both cans are awesome. well just checked...rip wolf - discontinued, wolfman is new cock of the rock. damn, only had my wolf for less than 6 months already retired. i know...new cans always coming out....wonder if the wolf can be upgraded to wolfman - for what reason i dunno?

Looks like they took down the 5.56 rating from there website View Quote Todd Magee Dead Air Engineering |

Quoted: Our marketing and sales guys had a question and we want to resolve it to provide more detail on the 5.56 rating. Hold tight and we'll get it all laid out. We'll probably do a barrel restriction or something--we just want to be very clear about our messaging for customers. I didn't test it on a 7.5" barrel, so you know how that goes. 5.56 usage in the industry is like the book I read to my kids, "If You Give A Pig A Cookie". Eventually it needs a glass of milk, then a blanket, and eventually it needs a tree house. Todd Magee Dead Air Engineering View Quote *ducks* |

What’s the key micro brake? Any pics of that yet?
I’m guessing it’s a direct mount with brake feature? Not a QD mount? |

Even though I just bought an Omega 9k two weeks ago, I want a Wolfman.
I was thinking about getting a Wolf 9SD when they became available again anyway. This is just how it should have been done at launch. |

For sure it can The wolf9sd could handle sub 10” 6.8 View Quote But what is the keymicro break? They say it needs to be used for semi auto centerfire but nothing matches that description on their site. |

This is the can I've been searching for right here.
I'm all about the subs and this can wiped with a 300 bolt gun is going to haunt my dreams for at least the next 7-10 months. |
|
Now I’m a little confused - is the Wolfman more or less robust than the Wolf?
|
|
|
|
Is it? According to the specs on the DA website, both are 1.618” diameter. The Wolfman is slightly shorter (7.5” vs 7.58”) and slightly lighter (14.4 oz vs 14.7 oz) in full length. The main difference seems to be in the short configuration in that the Wolfman split is at about 2/3 length whereas the Wolf is at about half length.

I'm curious how it sounds on a handgun as it is only 2.4 oz heavier than a ghost.

@Mageever
So just to be clear from our email, the Wolfman is rated full auto for 9x39? On that note, is the Ghost M and the Wolf 9SD? |
