SilencerCo Scythe STM... anyone put hands on?

[The Harbor Master]

Did a search and didn't see anyone talking about it yet...

Anyone got hands on an STM? Shot one at SHOT show or anything like that? I noticed they're in stock at Capitol Armory and are about $200 cheaper than the Ti, for a penalty of 3.4oz and 0.74" in length. I like the idea of the Ti but 10.4oz still strikes me as still quite light (in fairness, that's the 'K' configuration and would come to 14.7oz in full length configuration). I assume it'll have a different tone than the Ti but decibel ratings show to be very similar.

Am I missing something? Why wouldn't I save the $200 and go STM? Are the chances of this one self destructing a little lower than the Ti?

They have them at my local Scheels. I didn't handle one, but they look nice. I like the modular idea. I wish the Ti version had that ability.

I would think it would be a little more blow up resistant.

The difference between them... I think the Ti is worth an extra $200 because compared to the long, the dB is comparable but the long is about 0.75" longer and 7.4 oz heavier. The Ti is quieter and still lighter than the short.

But, maybe it would sound a lot better due to being steel.

Talked to my dealer today, wanted something in stock due to waiting on a diligent defense enticer L ti. Said he got these in and were ready to go. Already did the paperwork at the kiosk. Hope to have feedback by the end of next week.
