Gun Thread

Once you use a reflex sight on a pistol you'll find yourself trying to figure out a way to implement it on your carry gun because it is just so much better. Unfortunately, as we all know it's just not realistic to do that.

Running a Romeo 1 6moa dot on Sig 320x5. Very happy with it thus far...... 6 months so far. It’s like a scope vs iron sights in difference for ease of use.

Anyone running a red dot on a pistol (regular pistol, not an AR)? I'm kicking around the idea, mainly as an aid to my dad who is my main shooting pardner. Seems like a dot would help his aging eyes.

Yeah, I would guess if they were mass produced like firearms, the prices would be 1/3 of what they currently are.



My plans would be to pretty much stick any suppressor on the 300 pistol and just leave it that way. Realistically though, I am sure I would end up throwing it on the ar and my bullpup every chance I had.

I got a feeling I’m gonna be paying a pretty penny for mine as i need one that will fit in my Handguard. I want one that slips over the barrel.

Yeah, at a glance, $900 seems high, but that's a pretty high end silencer and the internals are probably fancy cnc machined stuff that requires a lot of machine time. Even with that if they didn't have to spend a bunch of money jumping through hoops to make and sell them they'd probably be designed for efficient mass production and half the price.

Their integral .300 blackout upper is cool. Easy way to get around tax stamps

Yeah, I missed a deal on Sig's direct thread can for $250, the design would allow it to be pinned to a barrel. I am looking at doing this more as I am sick of SBR stamps when i never shoot unsuppressed these days.

YHM Resonator is only $433

Thats the one i was looking at aswell. It is crazy how they are so expensive. I remember back a fee years ago there was a guy selling “oil catches” but they were just silencers with out the hole on the end drilled out. COuld get them for like 300 bucks. And then the fed kicked down his door lol.

Sounds like SDTactical. He is still in business, but only selling completed monocore cans now. His prices are still awesome and I wouldn't mind picking one up.

I did a form 1 with his titanium tube, muzzle device and adapter, along with stainless freeze plug baffles that I formed in a press. Works great.

Any can suggestions? Eyeballing the silencerco Omega 300. Is it worth the price? Can’t believe a freakin tube with some baffles cost as much as (in my case 3x more) than the entire gun, or a good piece of glass. What a racket. So much more tech and r&d into good glass and firearms.

It's all about what you plan on doing with it. Personally, I would rather have a Dead Air Nomad, EA Vox-S, Q Trash Panda, or YHM Nitro, or Rugged Can.

I have a lot of SilencerCo and Dead air stuff, that being said, if i was doing it all over, i would get a Vox-S or YHM. YHM is a lot of can for the money

There's a lot more than just a tube and some washers in a good suppressor.

The way in which the device mounts takes a lot of trial and error. The Dead Air QD mounts are some of the best in the industry. One of the reason I got a Sandman-S.

You can always form 1 a suppressor if you think you can do better.

Got all the parts for my pistol build but the lower. Stupid snow storm delayed it until Tuesday.
