Have been thinking about getting a suppressor but don't know anything about the subject. Not sure what would be the best caliber to buy for either. AR in 223, lever 45 colt, 9mm for the new Dagger? The one for 9mm would it work on say a .357?
As far as paperwork I'd like a trust so I could add my wife and grown kids to it. Haven't a clue on any of that either. If you do a one shot trust can you add people after and how hard is it? Or is there a easier way of doing it.

So any of you guys that are suppressor literate please school me up a little bit.

30 caliber for sure. To cover most of your bases. Except for the 45 colt. And look at what all mounts you’ll need before you buy. They add up quick. As far as adding people to a trust, never done it before so only speculation, it’s just mailing in a simple form along with their finger prints.

Look for Black Friday deals next weekend. Might even catch one that comes with a free rimfire can.

I have an Optimus and love it. Run it on my 223s, 9mm glocks, 300bo ar and bolt, and my 308 rifle. Could run it on 22s but it’s a little big for that and that’s why I have dedicated rimfire cans. Mounts aren’t too expensive and have direct thread adapters can use.

If you go 30 cal, I can strongly recommend the CGS Hyperion 7.62. I run it on a 300 win mag and it’s crazy quiet. All you really hear is the sonic crack, sounds like shooting a .22 rifle, hearing-safe. I shot a doe at 275 yds this AM and the others just stood there.

Run it on a handgun?

I wouldn’t, it’s 15 oz and over 9” long

will it accept a booster assembly? Don’t have much experience with them. Know they do great on gas guns to help reduce gas back issues.

Not sure, what cal are you considering?

Oh I’m not considering. My Next can purchase will be a YHM turbo T2. And then a dedicated 9mm can either dead air, griffin, or rugged.

1st suggestion is to see what firearms you have with threaded barrels now. Then decided what you are going shoot the most of that has suppressor capability. If you have a rimfire threaded barrel firearm then that's where I suggest starting. A Dead Air Mask HD is the #1 rated rimfire suppressor. Matched with .22lr 45gr suppressor ammo is the quietest thing I've ever shot. Suppressors can open up a whole new expensive can of worms but fun.

+1 on the mask. I wish I had a few more. Eventually

Been doing some reading but still have the whole head is spinning thing. I am leaning towards a YHM R9 to start out with to see if I really want to pursue this rabbit. It is a sealed unit for 9mm and can be used on with barrel restrictions.

BARREL LENGTH RESTRICTIONS:

7.62x51 / .308 Winchester: 16" minimum barrel length

350 Legend: 16" minimum barrel length

5.56 NATO: 16" minimum barrel length

300 Blackout: 8" minimum barrel length

But look's like it might be a decent starting point.

So what would you guys think about this particular suppressor?

Not too bad. Good price. Can’t disassemble to clean it. And only has direct thread so you’ll have to buy any QD mounts, thread adapters for other pitches, and the booster assembly/Nielson device to run it on a tilt barrel handgun. And I bet it’s still pretty loud on a centerfire rifle being almost a K length can. I guess that’ll be the best way to clean it out, run a few hot 308s through it to blow it all out ha.

I think I would rather use the direct thread to start with.

You’ll need the booster assembly. Allows the can to move back and forth to allow the barrel to tilt when slide goes back. Fixed barrel would be like a p22 or beretta m9.

LOL, I can handle the wait. Its the dollars that kill me. Its like do I get a suppressor or another really nice firearm?

Trust us. The waiting is worse. Especially when fork over the money up front and then have to wait a year until can actually enjoy what you spent all the money on. It’s worth it though. And like said above. Once start shooting suppressed That’s all you’ll want to do here on out.

they are discontinuing the T2 and bringing out the T3. There are a lot of sales right now so if you want a t2 now is the time.

Ah okay didn’t know that. I’ve got my eye on one, supposed to be having a big cyber Monday sale so I’m waiting to see what that entails before I proceed.

I must reiterate these proprietary suppressor attachment devices can be problematic over the life of the owner. When YHM advances the product to, as the marketing department will say, "to the next level", obsolescence begins. We've seen AAC go from 13teeth, to 51T, to 90T, none backwards compatible, then go out of business, Sig-Sauer went from "taper-lock" to the current "clutch-lock" and of course it's not backwards compatible.

Your firearm collection will grow exponentially and you'll want an attachment device for everything. You can bet that in 2032 looking for a YHM attachment device or a direct thread adapter, etc., for a 2022 suppressor is going to be a mildly expensive hassle. My middle name is "no-hassle".

Direct thread is zero hassle for perpetuity.

If you're a seasoned citizen this may not be a problem in your lifetime, however, if you're a younger fellar, it will.

I've still got issues with Sony and Betamax, and don't get me started on my lifetime guarantee BassPro Redhead socks.

i believe the Current YHMs have an additional more universal attachment thread built in. And direct thread adapters are easily available now to turn your QD can Into a traditional DT.
