Suppressor Condom

[ThreeOhSeven]

So this will be my first year hunting suppressed. I have always used electric tape over my muzzle to prevent debris from getting in my barrel while in the field. I am on the hunt for a latex "condom" or something similar for the end of my suppressor, something that would work with my Scythe with anchor brake and the LS Wild suppressor cover.
Do you use tape on your suppressor? What about everyone with an anchor brake on the end of your can?
FHF gear makes a suppressor end cap but I'm trying to find something that I won't have to remove before firing.

A balloon or an actual condom?!?

Already did some heat testing with the condoms no go there. It would just melt and gunk up on the suppressor.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I was planning on trying an unlubricated condom, but figured someone had been there done that and could save me the mess. I'm wondering the the brake would blow apart the condom and the cover would prevent melting.

Just put a piece of electrical tape over the end of the suppressor. A plugged suppressor is less of a risk than plugged barrel. I'd avoid suppressor covers. Just one more thing to go wrong and throw off a shot.

After thinking about this.... It wouldnt be permanent at all but you *could* try one of those round stick on felt furniture feet pad things. I've never done it, dont know if it would stay stuck for any given amount of time, OR worse yet seal the hole and do something weird and break something.

Or maybe its loose enough to shoot through it with no issue. Maybe even take a needle and poke holes in it a little. Idk, just thoughts.

I used electrical tape on my late season Kodiak hunt worked great

Anchor brake goes buh-bye for hunting season and is replaced by a flat cap. Electrical tape over exit hole.

I completely forgot I had the option to lose the brake. Good call.

Been using regular electrical tape over the end of my suppressors since 2018. No issues. It breaks the tape easily.

Yk

I think that scythe would need a magnum. Ol' Girth Brooks....

My anchor brakes wented buh-bye PERMANENTLY. Except the permanent one on the Harvester..... And even then, I'm contemplating cutting it off at the bottom of the first rib, just to dump the stupid thing....

I guess I could say mine are probably done as well now that I have Recoil-x end caps and there are other options hitting the market.

Un-lubed Condom for the win!! Preferably ribbed and in some wild color like Passion Fuschia.

Well shoot, there goes my plan. I have a B&T Ranger on one of my rifles which has a non-removable brake on the end and was planning to practice safe shooting with it. Thanks for the input on that. You're melting them with one or two shots?

Didn't wanna risk it on the can. Just played with different heat levels from a flame. My conclusion was that they were VERY heat sensitive. I think it was just a basic durex I was messing with.

Granted I haven't tried a sheepskin one. Its on my todo list.

Where I hunt, I would be concerned about the smell. I never could stand the smell of condoms.

Did the taste bother you too? Kidding! Couldn’t resist.
