I suspect

However research suppresors on here a little bit and learn what it takes for the "general public" to have a suppresor

Just because my handle is policeman doesn't mean I am ignorant of the NFA rules.

If anyone's the troll its you for jumping in on a legit question.  Because Surefire has stated that their suppressors are for military and LEO.  

My question is have they abandoned their stated position of Militaryand LEO?  I believe that they are based in Kalifornia so how are they getting around the People's Republic's ban on exportation for civilians?

I doubt ,

just interested if they are leo/gov only.

I was the surefire rep on Guns & Ammo TV.  Sounds like they are NOT exclusively leo/mil.

Sweet cans too.

note: I always wanted to say sweet cans and still be P.C.

(NFA = illegal tax on a right...)
check local gun laws first,
1. get cleo signoff (often treated as a permission slip, although it is just a statement that you are not a criminal)
2. pay the tax
3. wait

if you cannot get "permission" from the cleo, there are other ways to do it legally

TN has shall issue NFA.

basicly if there is no legal reason to deniy a CLEO signature. by state law the CLEO must sign off on it within 15 days.

I agree with you these do appear to be sweet cans.  If more than one dealer is selling them I want one too.  The price is a little steep from the guy in TX ($1088) so I am shopping around before I put up that kind of money.

This all relates to the issue that if they are getting away with selling to us Civillians why can't OPS Inc.?

Thanks,

From what others more knowledgeable than me have said, they are mediocre when compared to other 5.56 suppressors from more civilian friendly companies.

Is there a comparison of the performance of different vendors offerings anywhere?

Surefire's cans are now available to the public.

I don't have the spec's around and haven't seen them in a while, but if my memory serves me correctly... The are very QD and shorter than most of the cans out there (shorter OAL on your carbine), they also keep their zero when you attach/detach. There is a trade off with everything.

They are not to be looked down upon.

I saw their media-hype commercial on their website, they certainly bill them as the cat's-ass! Ever since then I've been looking also but have never seen them for sale anywhere.
