Looking at purchasing my first suppressor and it's a bit overwhelming, I've been reading and researching for months now and I just need to break out of this analysis paralysis.
I'm mostly a bench/target shooter, but would like to do some classes in the future. I'm at a private range and get to move around when I'm the only one. Primarily own ARs in 5.56, a 7.62x39 mak90, and would like to keep options open moving forward since this will be my first and only at the moment. Versatility would be nice but not mandatory. I can move to platform specific cans as I go down the road but I'm looking for some versatility for the interim. Is a SDN6 a good start? What would you suggest in my position? Any input would be greatly appreciated. (FWIW, I will be purchasing a .22 can at the same time) Thanks for reading. |

The Omega is a much more versatile option IMHO than the SDN-6. With the Omega you get away from questions about the AAC latch. The SDN6 is also optimized for the 300 AAC Black Out. The Omega is a compact and relatively lightweight suppressor as well ... who wants a bar bell hanging off the end of an AR-15? If I were starting from scratch without any centerfire suppressors, right now I would be giving DeadAir serious consideration because of their superior mount, great muzzle brake, and full Stellite core. Their thread on unit is a good lower cost lower weight option. |

Bench target shooter. Harvester. Which i love. Very accurate. I just ordered a thunder beast ultra 9 for my precision work. Its an updated 30P-1 which plenty of bench shooters use
AR type shooting, SDN6 is a good option but I think an Omega would be better because of mounting options |

Im leaning heavily toward the Sandman S and muzzle brake now. Is there a way the brake could be pinned to a 14" by a smith without hindering it's function? It doesn't look like it, maybe on that flat groove spot if anything. |

| I will suggest looking at the AAC 762-SD, if only to save a few bucks. There was a thread here in the Suppressor forum, comparing it, to the SDN6, and I believe some of the links provided, showed the performance being better with the 762-SD. It is a little longer however, if size is of any concern. Also, look at SilencerCo Omega and Dead Air Sandman, as others have suggested. |
| SDN-6 is a great can, I love mine and have put north of 3k rounds through it w/ zero problems. I do wish it was lighter, even though at the time it was released I believe it was considered relatively light for a durable full auto SBR rated 30 cal can. If I were to buy my first 30 cal can today I would either get a Rugged Surge (I have one due out of jail any day now) or a Griffin Alpha provided that it doesn't spark too badly from the titanium distal baffles. |
