Heavy compared to others. As above, what is most important?

Probably sounds different. Too much weight IMO.
I would look at the Nomad, Omega 300, Vox or Trash Panda. |

I've heard that it's sort of a flow-through type/low backpressure design, so it probably won't be the quietest thing in the world, but it should be pretty pleasant on a gas gun.
They're also heavy as hell. A lot of people say that they don't care about weight, but you will care about it eventually. Some nice alternatives to consider would be the Dead Air Nomad, Rugged Radiant or the Energetic Arms Vox. |

I've heard it sounds great at the ear, compared to cans with lower dba ratings. It's also really good at preventing gas in the face.

You can save in 3 of 5 and only have the following
Weight Fast attach/ fh capable Length Girth Cost Pick and choose your can. Nothing against the Tranq, just lots of choices out there. Pick according to what you want out of a can and go forward. |

I’m more meaning that it’s nice to buy into an ecosystem though, whereas the Tranquilo is a one and done thing. I like my Sandman S, but it’s great having a K to step down to when it’s something that’ll be carried more than shot. I went with DA, but these days there are a lot of other great options that have similar strengths. I’m perfectly happy with my DAs, but if I were a new buyer I’d be looking at Q, Rugged, and EA. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Agreed. Half the reason I picked up my K was the lighter weight. I really wish they'd come out with a dedicated 5.56 Sandman that emphasizes being small and light, even if that means they'll need to add a barrel length restriction. I'd snatch that up. At least other companies are starting to utilize their (badass) mounts, such that if DA won't make that, other companies can. |

I’ll tell you in a year or so.
In the meantime I really like my Omega and Hybrid. I ordered the Tranquilo because at $399, it’s difficult to pass up when you’re ordering an Ultimate Upper kit(s). |

hard pass. If this is your first can, you want to cover as many caliber bases as possible. Buy a Sico Hybrid. No rimfire but does everything up to 18" 338LM i believe.
SiCo Hybrid and a Dead Air Mask HD rimfire can will cover all your bases pistol and rifle. After those cans, then think about branching out. |

I have the Saker 7.62 and the TranQuilo. IMHO I give the LaRue the edge for quietness. I've run them on my 5.56's, 6.8 spc's and .300 blackouts.
Some complain about the weight. I wonder if they are running a Marathon ? |

What rifles or pistols will it be used on? What position do you shoot from most? If it is prone or sitting with a bipod it wont matter.
I doubt the extra weight would be as bothersome on a barrel 12" or less in length. |

Very pleasant sounding can in my opinion. Very low on back pressure which is awesome as it’s really nice to not have crazy amounts of blowback in the action
Mounting system is good but heavy as the can itself. If it wasn’t so heavy it would be hard to beat for the price |

Not just a pass but a hard pass. Heavy, ugly, not a fan of the mounting system, and made by a company not known for suppressors.
The current hotness is Dead Air IMO and their mounting system is one of my new favorites. |

Get an ASR kit from Diversified and build your own going the Form 1 route. Less time and about equal on sound function compared to my Sandman. I think the LArue is supposed to excel in the area of gas back into the action.

I like mine and it's definitely quiet on a 223
My hunting buddy has a binary trigger in his AR and I let him use the Tranquillo on our last pig blasting trip. I was 4 feet next to the muzzle with no earpro and didn't notice any ringing or discomfort when he popped 10-15 rounds I've also shot without earpro under a tin roof shooting bench and it was pleasant on my Larue It's stainless so it will discolor if you don't take care of it

I wasn't impressed with the one shooting next to me the other day.
It was some jerk off who had to deafen everyone without the can first, then attempt to impress us by putting the can on. 2-3in POI shift at 100yds. Full disclosure, I was shooting through an aem5 so I was the quietest fucker there. |

I think the point is repeatable POI with the can removed and reattached, not the same POI with or without. Every suppressor I own shifts the POI when on or off, but the good mounts/suppressors bring it back to the same mounted POI everytime Quote HistoryQuoted:

EA Vox S as a first centerfire. Or TBAC Ultra 7 or 9.
I would instead though, get a EA Nyx 2 for a 22Lr - this is really the fun end of suppressors. |
