Basically, all my centerfire silencer purchases have gotten smaller and smaller since I started collecting. Started with 3 YHM .30 cal cans, then got a Specwar 556, then a Surefire RC1 followed by and RC2 and finally a Specwar K.
So now, knowing that I really like Surefires and smaller, lighter silencers, I'm looking for feedback on the Surefire Mini (current generation). And pics are welcomed as well  .

It's small. No doubt. Buddy of mine and I shot his mini next to my Saker K on 12.5 556s. The suppression is not enough to be noteworthy at all. Shooting a few rounds without ear pro you could basically tell that it wasn't as loud as a fully unsuppressed shot, but couldn't discern any level of significant REDUCTION. |

What are you thoughts on the Saker K? Also what mount do you use? |

I like mine but I have no other 556 cans to compare it too. It's a Gen 1. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn73/AKSU_album/Firearms/image_zpscmk6cae4.jpeg Ah nice I saw that in the pic thread. That some kind of sleeve or cover on it? |

Specwar K is lighter but I have no doubt that my Saker can handle some wicked abuse. I use a trifecta mount, and I've had nary an issue and I beat the snot out of this can and run it HOT. |

| If you are satisfied with the full size surefire I believe you will be happy with a mini. I have both and mostly use the mini for the lighter weight out front. I wear a set of plugs with either can so I prefer to give up some suppression on 5.56 for less weight. |

I just picked up my Gen 1 Surefire 5.56 Mini-Monster last week, but unfortunately haven't had a chance to shoot with it yet. I hope to change that soon and then I can give a report. Yeah I got my Mini Monster about 3 weeks ago, working too much to go shoot it yet.
