they do now because that is how the system works because of the $200 per can tax. If they were not regulated I think it would be different. Some people might but one $1000 suppressor but some might prefer 10 $100 suppressors. Kind of like buying a knife..

Or lower my prices ;)

But that's not really the point I was trying to make. Barring all the regulations, if someone wanted to make a great (not the latest and greatest) silencer for very cheap it wouldn't be that difficult or expensive provided there is enough demand.

I would argue it's not that drastically different but I see your point. silencer manufacturers are pushing the envelope today because of increase demand but physics will only allow them to go so far. You still need enough space to capture the gas and some type of baffle system to redirect it...

Well over 100 years ago they looked like this.

Its nothing against you or anyone in the biz. Im not saying you can make the best can in the world for super cheap. Im just saying that the reason these things cost so much has more to do with the regulation (and the decrease in demand it creates) than it does with the actual manufacturing cost...

It's really not as super high tech as these companies make it seem. I could build a pretty decent can in my basement for $100. Nobody is doing that right now because if you are already paying a $200 tax it's not worth saving a few bucks. Well actually some people still are doing that right now...

I agree. With more demand and decreased regulation I think prices would plummet for cheaply made suppressors. There would still be a market for premium cans for sure but if tthey were available for under $100 they would sell a ton and I think it would be possible. If Apple can make an iPhone for...

I do love suppressors though. Just ordered a new one in fact. They are worth the price to me

I disagree for the most part. If they were deregulated you could make them in China for way less than $20 for sure. Stainless steel is not an expensive material.

No I don't. It's not complicated enough for me. I prefer something a little more challenging.

The mk iii is very good. Only drawback is cleaning. Never tried the mk II but it should be great as well

the Griffin armament revolution and Dead air Ghost (soon to be released) are the same idea and are worth looking at

True if you are 100% sure you will never want to shoot anything bigger. That is the reason they are making the new cans modular. In the short configuration the Obsidian is 0.8 inches shorter and 0.1 ounces lighter than the Octane 9. Both have the same diameter. edited

If you're trying to buy before July 1st you might want to try to preorder or get on a waiting list. Inventory is very low most places

Your sights will probably be ok with most rimfire cans on the sr22. I have a silencerco sparrow and the ruger sights are fine when its installed. The only drawback to the sparrow is the noticeable "first round pop" you get with most mono core cans. I went with it because it is by far the easiest...

Yep

Looks like the Scorpions are selling out. Lowest price i can find now is $850 plus shipping

Probably gonna buy some more ammo (9mm, .223,.22), some sort of 9mm SBR, and i just ordered the Rugged Obsidian

Ok you talked me in to it. Ordered me the Obsidian..
