As opposed to suppressors with a layer of my burned flesh on them?

I do get a kick out of the few times I've seen someone hold a suppressed firearm at point blank range to someone in a movie.... They never get the sound effects right. There should be the sizzle of searing flesh and screams of agony. |

New Thing?
Nope - it's been fairly normal for anyone that has a can that 1) had some sort of finish and 2) has used the suppressor hard. Of course, I assume there could also be wannabees who paint up their cans to look like they've been run hard. The world is a weird place full of odd people. |

They just legalized them in MN and I'm torn between the silencerco Specwar and the Saker.
I know, get both. But which one first? I've thought long and hard about it and like what I've seen with their attachment. I already ordered the Osprey. |

Burned/distressed finish lets all the higher tier noobs at the range know you're legit. Those things are expensive and a PITA to get, you can't just throw them down the driveway.

OK, I'm a little late to this party. However, I went and graphed the info in the test as for me, a visualization of the trends is more useful than pure numbers and rounded out averages. Really reinforces some of the sound specific data and put it in context with size and weight. ETA: I got in a discussion with a buddy of mine over the the Saker (his) vs the M4SDK (mine). The M4SDK is shorter, lighter, has a more versatile attachment system while averaging (136.7 vs 134.8) and trending quieter (with less deviation in shots) and being less expensive. But, but, but stellite bro! (Sorry Aaron I know you don't say bro ) Sorry, you most likely won't shoot out either.

There really arent any finishes that can hold up long term to suppressor use.
Even high temp cerakote shows its age quickly. It does better than a lot of other coatings at standing up to heat but in the end it ends up getting haggard looking. It's also a lot less durable than the normal cerakote you would see on say an AR, as you lose durability and abrasion resistance to pursue the high-temp qualities. You bang the can against a wooden door and it will nick the cerakote on a can. |
