My Omega 300 stamp was returned in only 3 1/2 months earlier this year which I thought was great and figured I would research in case there were decent BF deals.
I couldn't decide on getting a dedicated 9mm or a dual purpose .45 can. A few days before BF I came across a decent deal and opted to get both. Couldn't decide between the Ghost and Obsidian for the 45 and ended buying the Ghost 45 and Odessa 9. The decision between the Ghost and Obsidian for the 45 was very hard as there is great information out there on both cans. Well, fast forward a week and I opted to also purchase the Obsidian 45. The debate between the Ghost and Obsidian is a common one and hopefully I can provide some decent feedback for those on the fence. |

First buy of the year. I wanted a newer and more better 9mm pistol can, so I bought a CGS Mod9.
I got to see and handle a friend's Kraken this past weekend and was really impressed. I especially like how a lot of the weight is shifted to the rear of the can, and overall it felt like a very nice, quality can. Sounded good on an MP5 as well. |

Just a 1x28 key micro from Hansohn just now. I needed another muzzle device anyway and figured I might as well check the key micro mount out. It's going temporarily on an 18in .223 wylde barrel I've also got coming so the abbreviated larger bore diameter brake isn't that big of a deal compared to a full size 30 cal brake being a sacrificial blast baffle for a short barrel. Eventually if all goes well its getting migrated over to a 9mm host when I finally get myself a 9mm can.

I probably got it backwards. Instead of a rimfire can fueling the addiction, it was a 45 cal pistol suppressor that got me hooked. Now i have to get a rimfire, then a 30 cal rifle can.
Just bought a Rugged Oculus this weekend. Originally went into the shop to buy the Dead Air Mask or Optimus Micro, but ended up with the Oculus. Now the wait begins again. |

He didn't have the other cans available, and he made me a sweet deal on the Oculus. So in the end it was pure economics, at the intersection of supply and demand (not to mention a decent price) was the Oculus. I didn't really care for the modularity of the can; but the Rugged warranty was definitely a key consideration since this is going to be a lifetime purchase. I would have been happy walking out with any other the 4 cans that I mentioned above. |

SS just mailed my stamp 2 days ago for my YHM Resonator R2. Its my first can and so far I love it.
Shot about 150 rounds sighting it in and at a US Arms competition the other night. I have already ordered a Bootleg adjustable BCG since the PSA $300 AR is a bit gassy. Got to get my Form 1 in for an SBR i am building. |

Bought an Element 2 this morning from my local dealer. I could've gotten better pricing elsewhere but my dealer has been good to me by cutting deals on low transfer fees on outside purchases. It was time I supported them. I will say stock on the Element 2 has seriously dried up in my searching. A few weeks ago I looked at qty 30 among all the big drop shippers but they all seem to be gone now.
I already have a Mask, Regulator, and El Camino and wanted something that didn't compromise on FRP/sound and weight/length for pistol use. All my searching took me back to this can. So yes, I'm one of the last guys to come around to the Element 2. @Atlmike thanks for setting me straight and sorry it took me so long to come around. |

Bought my first suppressor today.
SiCo Hybrid 46. Got the paperwork filled out tonight. Doing prints tomorrow, then off it goes I guess. Maybe I'll get lucky and see it before Christmas.
Primarily was looking for something to toss between 5.56, 300BLK, .308 and .458 SOCOM, so seemed like the perfect choice just running ASR Brakes/FH's. Already see a Dead Air Mask in my future when funds allow it.
