SilencerCo Scythe Ti failures

[glock233]

Is anyone actually making a big deal out of this in their interaction with SilencerCo? Just read this thread and I'm perplexed how nonchalant everyone seems to be on considering we've all been seemingly scammed out of > $1k and then gaslighted that nothing is wrong. Below was the response I received from SilencerCo today expressing my concerns about what appears to be an elevated failure rate and potential danger in letting my boys use and clients use it.

The response is pretty sensible. It’s a hugely popular can and reports of failures will tend to overwhelm reports of normal function.

If that .3% failure rate is real, that would explain a lot.

I have concerns, but no leg to stand on as mine has not failed. So, I'm not reaching out to complain (but also will not buy more SiCo products).

I have my opinion, but not true data to back them up.

If they have sold 20,000 and the failure rate is .3%, half of the failures have been reported here. At 30k, 1/3 the failures. That’s pretty high in my eyes.

My take is that this was designed as a lightweight hunting can. Most of the hunters I know go through a box of ammo a year at best, just checking zero, etc. This forum and this thread tend to have hunters who shoot a lot more than most out there. I actually believe the failure percentage they report, I just think it would be a lot higher if more people were actually shooting a bunch of rounds through them. In other words, I think the failure rate would be a lot higher if they took 1,000 random cans and shot 1,000 rounds through reach of them. Since a lot of the cans sold haven't been shot much if at all, the numbers are skewed. They have to know this and know there is a design/manufacturing flaw but they aren't willing to admit it and I truly hope it catches up to them.

Key words in there I think are "when used as intended". Maybe they intend people to only shoot a couple boxes a year through it.
