2025 - any new suppressors to hit the market?

[mt100gr.]

Man it would take a lot for me to buy a suppressor from a company with that name. Not just because I think it's dumb, but because I can't help but think it speaks to the long term (or not) mindset of the people that run it.

Do you plan to be around in 10 years when the "xxxxx-AF" fad is done and everyone thinks it's dumb? If no, then I'm not interested.

If yes, what does that say about your planning and critical thinking skills? Maybe a cute "of the times" model name would be different (Q's stuff for example) but naming your whole company around something so trendy just seems to exhibit poor judgment.

Spot on.

Comparing a pri mk12 mod 0 w aem5, to a mk12 mod h w aem5k, how much of the "mod 0 greater than the sum of its parts" praise would be compromised just to shorten the setup a few inches?

I can’t say that I’ve used the AEM5k and a Mod H together. As long as you understand you are giving up some suppression, it will be a good shorter combo.

Interesting name for sure. I just see it’s getting a bit of social attraction. So far I’ve only seen it from some of the predator hunting guys but none seem to be real killers, from the limited info I’ve seen. Also not a lot of info on the suppressor but they’re taking orders

The reflex style cans date back quite a long ways. Pulling this out of my ass but I believe the patent i saw was around 1930. AB has done a very good job optimizing them as far as I know. My Raptor 10 is a great can considering the size, added length, and suppression/tone.

It's not ABs design, they just took it in the Raptor series and made it their own. The one big downfall with the reflex IMO is that there has to be a tradeoff in the ability to produce one or two options to fit most rifles. As your barrel diameter increases, the volume decreases and they'll likely just make one or two diameters if I'm a betting man. Probably just one to handle a sendero contour.

They're great cans for hunting rifles. They make poor "do it all" cans because of the reflex portion. Unfortunately people just getting into the game and/or the vast majority seem to want a do it all kind of can and that gets catered to. Once you own a handful, you start to realize that you'd rather have specific cans for specific jobs or firearms.

I'm excited to see what they churn up and how it compares to the AB line. Also very interested in the price point.

A very easy win for them would be multiple options for calibers. I'd rather buy two cans to cover different calibers than one overbored can. I think a 6mm, 6.5mm/.277, and a 30cal would make a good stable to choose from.
