Silencerco Specwar is an absolute tank, and has excellent reduction levels. It was the best for a long time, and still ranks high up there.

Rethink your plan, OP. Buying a silencer is a six month long, $1,000 process. Putting in an extra 10 minutes to an hour on the front end isn't a big deal to get the one you really want.

The Dead Air Sandman-S is a similar size to the Omega, it is slightly heavier which is the only downside, the upside is the far better mounting system (he even makes an aftermarket mount to fit the Omega because the factory Omega QD is so shit) and the Dead-Air has no minimum barrel length restrictions so you can literally use it on anything.
Also the Rugged Razor 762 is worth considering, if the added weight of the Dead-Air isn't in your plans. Rugged have probably the best machining quality in the industry. They do have length restrictions whereas the Sandman does not. I own all three (Omega, Sandman, Razor). Both Dead Air and Rugged were formed/are ran by prior SilencerCo employees. |

OP, if you are interested, check around for a LGS that sells Class 3 items and see if they have a Silencershop kiosk. Mine has a kiosk in it now. We just used it to start the process on a Silencerco Hybrid that the store had in stock. Took our fingerprints and everything. Silencershop is working to get kiosks set up in LGSs across the country.
You can go to the Silencershop website and use the Class 3 finder tool, check the option for only Class 3 dealers with a kiosk, add your zip, and away you go. If you are dead set on something other then Silencerco, I hear good things about Dead Air. I just don't have any experience with them personally. ETA: I just saw you were in WV and did a quick check. Looks like Just north of Beckley is the only shop in WV that has a kiosk. Not sure what part of WV you are located in so that may or may not be an option for you. I'm actually kind of surprised that is the only one in WV. I would have thought you would have at least a few shops with the kiosks already. |

I had set my mind on an Omega but I also will be buying a rimfire too I know Capitol Armorys rep is stellar and do not take any thing from them. Jus had a few friends that have been using the SS system and are just over the moon happy about them. If SS still sold Silencerco it wouldn't be an issue. LOL Hence me asking what my next consideration should be hypothetically if I decide to go with SS over another dealer. |

LOL Hence me asking what my next consideration should be hypothetically if I decide to go with SS over another dealer. I love the Omega! I'm pretty well convinced it's the best .30 cal can on the market when you consider how well it works compared to weight and overall size. Having said that, when weight isn't an issue like on my long range .300 wm, I use the Specwar 7.62. As for .22 cans, I don't have any yet, but my brother has a Warlock and a Sparrow, both from Silencerco and both are amazing. Bolt action .22 with subsonic rounds and a Sparrow on it is quieter than a bb gun. I wouldn't let ease of paperwork exclude you from the can you really want, with the way NFA is set up, you're looking at a very long term investment so you might as well get what you want the first time. Just my .02 cents! Any way you look at it, suppressors are just plain fun to shoot with and I rarely shoot anything without a can on it anymore. |

How about a list of your priorities?
Every suppressor is different with different characteristics. Just throwing out a name is not going to help you. The omega is much more gassy and louder at the ear than the Sandman S. Omega is much lighter than the Sandman S. The Deadair brake is almost 4 oz for a 30 cal. The Omega has lots of barrel restrictions. Omega has direct thread, a QD mount and ability to use the same mount as Sandman. Do you want a modular can? What barrel length and caliber are you shooting? Is this your only can? I have the Sandman S and L, Omega, and Razor. |

Its primary purpose will be on a .300 BLK PDW 8.3" barrel.
Ultimately suppression is number one then weight then length. I may eventually do a .308 but its primary ue will be .300 BLK with a healthy mix of subs and supers in an SD/HD role I have seen great things form SS and now their new digitalized form 4s and recent 24-48 turnarounds for Form 3s. My budget will allow this to be my only centerfire can for awhile and is my first can. I really want to buy from them but they dont sell Silencerco. So I am wanting to know if there is anything sold by SS that is worth skipping the Omega for if I decide to only deal with SS |
