That supposedly is great but I won’t get to shoot it until later this afternoon!




Pictured on the beater 12.5” because my muzzle device for the rifle it will live on hasn’t arrived yet.

The only other can I have to compare it against is an Alleycat 7.62 which isn’t really fair but I will bring it along!

I bought one a couple days ago too.  We will see if it lives up to the hype.

@bigtex84 well it lived up to my hype! I picked up a blem from Gluten Free Gear as they are local, bought it on Sunday and was approved today. Usually I have buyers remorse even with a $20 item. Well this guy was $875 and it was totally worth it!

I can’t explain how something so small can work so well but it does. Very little gas to the face (at the end of a mag but I was at an indoor range), point of impact change was very minor, super quiet for the size, and it did not even try to walk off. Super impressed so far. He is supposed to get Shivs in today, that will be the next one I pick up maybe next month!



The one thing I will say is the inconnel holds onto heat for a long time but I assume that’s the geometry, and it’s a small price you pay for the size to performance ratio.

That’s good to hear that you like it and it sounds great.  I got the inconel version too to hopefully avoid sparking at night.  I will probably end up using a low profile direct thread mount instead of the provide one.

I almost popped on one of the 762 ones the other day. This might have put me over the top

This is what I thought of first when I read the title.  I have one as well.  Hoping the Tisha performs better lol.

What kind of blem? They sent out some blems a while back that were not just cosmetic and started blowing up.

It’s just a blem on the cerakote, looked pretty closely at it and everything else is super clean. The dealer claimed that the structural issues were only with there titanium Tisha’s and not the inconnel, I didn’t research if this was true or not but hopefully mine doesn’t blow up! Because I really like it! Saved about $300 with a blem however the blems don’t come with a hub adapter or muzzle device.

🤷🏼‍♂️ I’m a cheap skate!

I took a video shooting it and the sparking was less than my Alleycat! I think you will be impressed!

They sure seem to have a lot of “blems”.

Some people use that as a sales technique. :)
(Price too high? Product not moving? Knock $209 off, call it a cosmetic second, and people will go for it!”)

Saw this raw blem at a dealer this week:
Not sure what (cosmetically) could be wrong with an unpainted blem.

There is a shiny surface that could probably just have become dull if it was blasted?  But it doesn't appear it was blasted either.  A little hard to say in a 2D picture of one side, with most of the can covered by a label it is wrapped in. The SAW stuff has had a lot of print abnormalities that were sold, so maybe now they sort that stuff and sell as blems?

I was going to get a Tisha, but after hearing about the issues, I was hesitant. I shot them an email asking a question, and never got a reply. I ended up with a FatCat with the cat instead.

I find it interesting how people were so hard on DeadAir for their screw up, but are going all in with SAW. Them not getting back to me was my canary.

Saw sent out a couple dozen or so bad silencers marked as blems. They ended up recalling those and replacing them. They recalled them so fast that I actually had a shipping label for it before the silencer actually made it to my LGS.

Took like ~45 days to get a replacement and they let me change from ti to inconel for free which is nice. And they sent a free Klik silencer ~$150 value


Meanwhile da never recalled silencers and you just had to wait till your silencer crumbled to find out its bad. That's the main difference. Recall vs no recall.

And saw is a two man group currently, they do need to hire some help for communication but their cans are all top tier performers.
