I just picked up an Omega MP5SD pistol as a sear host. I have looked at hkpro and still am not sure which manufacturer to buy a suppressor from. RDTS? RCM?

Depends on what price point you want. I have fired RCM, RDTS and TPM. All are excellent and all built by solid guys.
Can't go wrong with any of them. |

Battlefield Vegas uses TPMs I believe. Cans with six digit round counts and still work.

No complaints about my tpm. Always wondered how the kac and b&t sound. Part of me still wants a kac for no good reason.

Love my Curtis Tactical can. Shielded baffles out of 17-4. The one downside is that it's a heavy beast.

Thanks for the replies. I sent an email to RCM and have not received a reply.
I have a dummy can from Title II on it right now. With a standard locking piece and the Fleming sear it works beautifully. Just loud. I will be sending an email to TPM. I like that their cans can be serviced. |

RCM's cans are user-serviceable as well. I have owned an RCM can for a while, and currently have a TPM SD can inbound on Form 3. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The Omega is actually a pretty cool host. Thanks Atlantic. |

I've been looking at all the cans for SDs out there...
RDTS - I think they use a slightly different thread than the standard SD threads on the barrel. I've heard they are really good cans, stainless steel and a little heavier than the rest. Since they are SS versus aluminum, they have a lower pitched sound. Sounds like they also drill holes in the barrel differently than HK did. TPM - Aluminum cans, user serviceable. Seems to be a great company with lots of knowledge of the SD system. Can seems to be one of the less expensive ones out there. B&T - Still trying to get some more info on these. Built in the US using materials and designs from Europe. Little more expensive than other models and I think you can get them through Dakota Tactical. KAC - Limited runs of these. Heavy cans, smaller OD than the others, built like tanks. Most expensive SD cans I can think of. RCM - Haven't looked into these very much at all. Heard good things about their other parts (I think TPM uses a lot of RCM parts on their builds). |

I have both the rcm and B&T cans. Love em both. RCM is stupid lightweight. B&T is solid and good to go, definitely heavier but still good balance.

Spoke with a gentleman one late afternoon at B&T down in Tampa, I think it was, about their SD can. He told me the blast baffle was stainless steel but the rest of the baffles were aluminum and the think he said the tube was, too. I called to see if there was a manual as well as to find out if it was user serviceable, no manual and it is not user serviceable. |

Spoke with B&T guy about 2 weeks ago. I have a American made one from a group buy that Michaels Machine had about a year ago, now. |

Looks like silencerco just announced a super-short SD can to compete with TPM/B&T etc. claimed noise reduction is better than the standard cans despite the super short length

I know there is a a class 3 forum but I need to ask. How do I order a suppressor from either TPM or RCM? Do I go to my local dealer and have them order it from the manufacturer?
I ask this since every transfer I have done before was through a dealer and what they had in stock. Thanks. |

Surprised there aren't many recommendations for the Knight's...

Lol, it's only ~3-5x more expensive and looks like hammered shit. Plus, it can't be disassembled AFAIK and has a goofy small diameter for no apparently good reason. Really, you're surprised?

The dimple things on it are classic KAC. Even though it's heavy, I bet it's built like a tank. It's kinda like an NT4...maybe not the greatest can anymore, but still a fine option |

Have to admit, the ability to service the other cans is definitely a huge plus. Don't you have to clean the SD can every 300-500 rounds or something?

12" I saw my can while I was doing the paperwork. Beautiful. I cannot wait until the stamp comes in. The TPM is very, very nice. Eta: No fitting issues on my Omega SD upper. |
