I don't see myself ever getting any pistol suppressors. If I did, I'd use them with Berettas as I hear they're good suppressor hosts. And since all the suppressors I picked up and tested today are Huxwrx Flow TI cans, I can tell you they're worth their price. Not cheap, I know, but worth every cent. Try not to go into credit card debt for them. My, uh, friend said to say that.

Speaking of centerfire Marlin lever guns, anyone here run one made by them after their ownership change? I definitely don't need a .45-70 lever rifle, but I do like the big thumpers just because. I'm curious if anyone that knows can tell me if their price is justified. They've only gotten a lot more expensive since Ruger bought them.

I think this is good advice to all of us. You know Clubby, for a fed, you're alright.

I've got an HK Mark 23, and a Mark 23 without a can is blasphemy. That, and I've had significant hearing loss in my life and want to preserve what I have left. Best way to do that is with ear pro and suppressors.

By ownership change, do you mean since Ruger bought them from Remington? Their quality is significantly better since Ruger bought them and brought them back to market. When Remington owned them their QC was very hit and miss.

Suppressing pistols is a waste of time. Just get a PCC.

For regular shit, yeah pretty much, but they're still fun. Maybe for home defense, but you'd be better off using a different gun too.

Once wipes come into the picture things change a lot and it gets more reasonable. For sneaky stuff a suppressed handgun has been quite useful, but they seem to have been small stuff like .22lr or .32ACP, with some stuff in 9 like the Welrod.

Based and not cringe gunshop/parts dealer Brownells is pushing Rumble. Either they completely forgot to link their channel or are just brute-forcing the introduction to their viewers but it's a pretty solid endorsement if they're going there and actually talk about it.

Crosspost from the GunTuber thread, but Brownells is going to be posting content not friendly to YouTube on Rumble.

Wipes are really the thing that would make pistol suppressors awesome and compact but are just hamstrung cause the government decided that a rubber disc can't be sold by itself.

Like the Beretta Hush Puppy,

Personally I put a suppressor on my HD pistol, gunshots last a fraction of a second but tinnitus is forever. I've been thinking of picking up a wipes only suppressor just for HD use now that the form 4's take less than a year.

If the ban happened a few decades ago it could've been this thing:

It has an ultra-scary threaded barrel, exterior modeled after the vz 61, and shares a name with Intratech's infamous Tec-9.

Scariest gun ive ever seen.

The scary look shouldn't be discounted, I was talking to someone recently who was perplexed "why we allow this type of rifle" we were looking at these GSG .22 reproductions of famous firearms.

People who are unfamiliar with guns really don't understand that the superficial fittings of a gun don't make it more dangerous.

I think Energetic Armament is making a number of wipe cans, one of their .30s being a sick .300 BLK can.

Totally can't get silicone and a punch that's often listed in the description of a can. Rex Silentium definitely wouldn't do that.... For range use it'd take nearly as long to punch a disk as it would to take it out of a bag if you want to be all legal. In a real situation if you haven't been spotted after 10+ shots you're doing pretty well, and whatever laws probably aren't important, not like you'd be "hot swapping" wipes anyways.

I've always thought the best way to defend against FPV drones is getting a talented skeet/trap shooter and giving them a magazine fed semi auto shotgun with an eotech. And an unlimited amount of tungsten high brass flight control turkey shot to train with and carry. In the future, i think FPV type drones will be so commonplace, you'll have these shotgunners integrated into the infantry down to the fire team level. A guy with a semi auto will be more important to combat infantry then designated marksmen, and as ubiquitous as automatic rifleman/light machine gunners.

His/her neck is going to hurt staring upwards forever.
I think the future is some sort of integrated exoskeleton system with IRST cameras looking UP and FORWARD wired to a device shooting ~20mm proximity fused HE mounted on the person. 1 or 2 per a squad.
 
all this talk of cans got me curious about a suppressed SKS. i found this youtube video and im really liking how this looks and functions. only downside i see is that it is still kind of loud. im a bit iffy on cutting threads into my pristine all matching russian sks, but man do i really want a can on my sks now.
