In answer to the thread; YES they are worth it.

Love my rugged oculus 22 can, got a rugged Alaskan 360 in jail, and next will be the rugged obsidian 45..Yes, unequivocally yes. My advice is to get a 22 suppressor, a 45 suppressor with a Nielsen device such as the osprey, and a battle rifle suppressor. Covers all your bases.
IMHO, yes. I prefer short & fat cans for rifles to minimize added length and weight, as they suppress enough to take the Thunder out. Especially so an ARs.I've narrowed it down to a .30 cal can. Something HUB/plan b compatible. Am I correct in understanding that chasing absolute decibels on a suppressed AR is somewhat moot due to port pop from higher back pressure cans?
You are correct in your thinking. I'm at the point of considering converting one to a piston system instead of DI and seeing how well that works.I've narrowed it down to a .30 cal can.

They cost too much and there is a long wait time so defiantly not going to use it like a mag lite !Wherever gets the first good hit in. A suppressor, especially if made of steel, could be a very effective impact weapon even if less so than a bat
I'm gonna buy you a set of 5lb dumb bells for Christmas. Good place to startDon't underestimate how much weight can become an issue. If it's just a range/bench toy it may not matter, but if your training with an AR/rifle, even if it's an SBR, that's a big heavy chunk of metal hanging out on the end. It seems to get heavier every shot you take.
If your suppressor weighs 5 lbs you gots problems even if it is for a 50 lol!I'm gonna buy you a set of 5lb dumb bells for Christmas. Good place to start
Titanium....I use one every dayDon't underestimate how much weight can become an issue.

I agree, after getting a couple suppressors it really has changed shooting for me, much more pleasurable. I still shoot loud guns too but enjoy target shooting with the cans on.I think it's worth it to get at least one. But honestly, I feel like once you shoot with one you won't want to shoot without it. My 3 lifelong hobbies are playing drums, riding (loud) motorcycles and shooting guns. Suffice to say I'll be deaf in my older age if I don't mitigate the decibels somehow.
I've got a Lahar 30K in jail right now. Made by Aero Precision. Very reasonably priced even when not on their super sale prices. If you want one to do it all I'd look at the mid length and not look back. Get whatever quick detach muzzle device your prefer for each gun you plan to use it on and swap quickly between them with 1 suppressor.Assuming at this point I am only getting one can for multiple uses (home defense, range, shtf) primarily on a 8" 300 blackout...is titanium still the recommended choice or are there comparable steel options? Trying to stay under $1000.
I've read through this thread and learned a lot, some good info here. I've also thought about it from time to time, wondered why so many people love suppressors so much, and why I just can't get excited about them.I agree, after getting a couple suppressors it really has changed shooting for me, much more pleasurable. I still shoot loud guns too but enjoy target shooting with the cans on.
Correct, but i'd say for a different reason... as said above, cans make range days much more pleasurable. Won't take long to realize how concussion (especially if you shoot sbr) is greatly alleviated, even if decibels aren't championed for your can model, and tone effects people differently. I've heard cans that have great decibel ratings, but since I personally dislike the tone, other cans are preferred.I've narrowed it down to a .30 cal can. Something HUB/plan b compatible.
