22lr - 22-250...pretty cool.
I haven’t been too happy with them but I finally got my can (resistance 9) working right. No thanks to them. It needed a new o-ring in the piston housing. Works fine now. |

Was that full auto 5.56?
So they have made a tiny 5.56 can?  Attached File Attached FileLooks kinda like a mini Optimus with a weird looking mount. |

So they made a 22LR sized can that'll handle centerfire rounds, it's going to be loud as fuck with anything other than 22LR or it's simply a user serviceable RECCE 5..

Interesting. I guess we'll see what the tradeoff is (in weight) to be able to handle centerfire rounds.

Still the same warranty it looks like. Griffin may have great products (maybe not? I don't know, I don't own them), but they don't have an industry leading warranty. Maybe that will be acceptable when suppressors actually make it to mainstream, but for now, you're married to a chunk of metal with a serial number because of the process. Because of that, the warranty is important to me.

That is cool if it is centerfire rated as long as it does not excessively impact its weight and performance as a rimfire can. Unless it performs crazy good for its size on a 5.56 or 5.7, I seriously doubt I would ever use it for that purpose. I want a quiet, easy to clean, and fairly light new rimfire can. If it happens to be 5.56 rated, then so be it. I've been holding off on buying a Halcyon or Oculus to see what Griffin has come up with, I really hope I didn't waste a bunch of time!

The ability to use it on 5.56 is kind of a nice-to-have, but I dunno. I could see this being pretty cool and handy to someone who's new to suppressors as a first-purchase, kinda in the same vein of something like a Hybrid or Mystic-X.
I don't really think it's a thing to someone who may already have a rimfire can or two and a rifle can, at least it isn't to me. |

If it's just an overbuilt .22 can, I don't really see the point. Better off making a K can and maximizing volume and performance, while minimizing length. |

It looks pretty big for a .22 can. If so, it's sorta deceptive to call it a .22 can. Something that size that's 5.56 auto rated is a 5.56 mini can, not a .22 can. It'd be like SiCo marketing the Saker K as "our new super quiet .22 can."

Griffon didn't invent the really loud 5.56 can
Not sure what's ground breaking with this... a loud 5.56 can, or a heavy .22 lr can. |

Maybe they will have it ready for shot show, maybe. I see this as a type of modular can as it's rated for 22 to 22-250, I'd imagine it's heavy and expensive for a 22 can and not great db reduction for a 223 can.

The class of rimfire cans went from 1" diameter rimfire cans to a market demanding 5.7mm handling and preferring cans around 1.1" OD. We thought it was stupid that people didn't buy one rimfire can over another, because it wasn't rated for a niche caliber they would probably never use with it and might never own a firearm chambered in. So we wanted the silencer to do something actually useful and handle a round people actually had a firearm chambered in. That I can actually see the point to.

The Silencerco Sparrows are not much lighter.
It has the same pros/cons as the Optimus. It's versatile, but it doesn't do anything great. The 3-lug rimfire is cool though. Seems like this is geared towards the cheap guy that wants a 22LR suppressor, but still wants the ability to run it on his AR or hunting rifle. I guess that guy probably exists? |

So, I'm a bit confused. I think I need a compatibility chart that shows what mount to use with what host and what suppressor.
For instance, I want to be able to use a 3-lug on my 5.56x45 11.5" barrel SBR. Can I do this? |
