Dead Air Nomad-TI vs. TBAC Dominus

[DPReef]

Anyone have experience with either of these or can give feedback for a comparison? I have an Ultra 7 now and looking for a second suppressor that is not an ultra.

Typical use is range practice but also a desire to take on backpack hunts. Thanks!

Curious to hear what others have to say... I have the Nomad Ti in jail right now. Hoping it performs as well as the regular Nomad because it is lighter and shorter than my Sportsman Ultralight.

Seems like all the Nomad Ti reviews are from folks that got to test the can early when it came out. Will be nice to see the real world performance.

Check out Tbacs most recent youtube videos, they are really helpful. The mid size can test is a good one to start with. You might have to bounce around to a few different videos to see results from all of the different cans, but they are pretty helpful. They haven't tested the Nomad Ti in any of their videos yet, but they do test the regular Nomad 30 against the ultras, and the Dominus.

I just put an ultra 7 gen 2 in jail last week, but I was in the same dilemma, I looked really hard at the Dominus, and the Nomad Ti as well as the ultra 5 & 7. I think it would be hard to go wrong with any of those cans.

Thanks, I found the mid size can test and results posted online, appreciate bringing it up.

What don't you like about your ultra to not want another? Or just want something different? Honestly curious

 

[DPReef]

Just want something different, but will likely still keep/use my ultra 7 for backpack hunts.

I love my ultra 7. Don't want a 5, don't need a 9.

I swap it between guns too often and want a second suppressor when switching guns during range practice. Also, can't seem to find an ultra 7 Gen 2 in stock and don't want to wait until middle of the year to get a SN. Dominus and nomad-ti are both in stock today at several places.

 

[DPReef]

Well the Dominus went in stock this morning and I bought it within a minute. Might still get the nomad-TI too to start a little collection, but that thing looks super shiny? Would I have to cerakote it for hunting or wrap it? Seems like that would add some weight, maybe i should just stick with my trusty TBAC.

You’ll have to let us know how the dominus and ultra 7 compare real world. I have the ultra 5,7,and 9 and don’t “need” another can, but you never know!

I think you made a great choice sticking with a TBAC can.

Energetic Armament's "Lux" can may also warrant a look. All Titanium, 7.9in, 9.84oz. One of the best things about EA's cans is they don't force you into any proprietary mounts or thread patterns. So if you like or are already invested in Dead Air's KeyMo system, or the Area 419 mounts, SilencerCo ASR, etc it's just a matter of buying the appropriate "back end" for your EA can and then continuing with the mount system you already have in place. Which is great if you want a can to bounce between different guns.

At the risk of sounding like some sort of fanboy, Energetic Armament is good stuff. I've got one of their rimfire cans and it's sweet. They're not a huge company, but they have a bit of a cult following and are very well respected in the industry.

I was looking at the TB30 adapter to 1.375x24 and didn't even realize they carried suppressors. I'm going to take a look, too bad they don't go through silencershop.

You lucky sob, I slept in a bit this morning, saw the email when my alarm went off and they were already sold out 34 min later.

Thunder Beast: Dominus-CB Suppressor

The Dominus CB is based on the SR suppressor, but uses the CB mount. Compared to the Ultra 7, the Dominus CB is shorter and thicker, but ~2 dB quieter.

I know but I'm all set up with the silencer shop kiosk. It's just so easy. Not sure if the local FFL could transfer 1 in and still run it through silencer shops trust.

Same here. Find a local dealer with the “Powered by” silencershop and they should have a kiosk.
