Suppressor failures by brand

Either none of them own TBAC or TBAC is batting a thousand. Probably somewhere in between.

Seems like a good idea, but probably skewed by how many suppressors are sold by a company (aka Ford syndrome). Also looking at the data it seems most "failures" are baffle strikes.

This I pulled off of FB. There was another pic on a different post showing the other half. No baffle strike could be seen. 243 shooting 70 grain I believe.

“Okay guys update time.
 so just to recap last night I had a shot that was off on a coyote. I hit it but the shot was off. The coyote ran into 80 yards and I missed again and then 70 yards and I missed again. I decided to go home and take another shot to see if my 0 was off and the suppressor exploded.
I emailed diligent defense at midnight. Within 15 minutes, they responded to me and made sure I was OK. This morning they requested a phone call and they were extremely apologetic. They said the only thing they can think is that there was a materials issue.
They told me that they were going to replace the suppressor for free and pay for the new tax stamp because I couldn’t find the serial number portion of my can. They also told me to pick out another suppressor that I wanted and they were going to send it for free and pay for the tax stamp. This was hands down the best customer service I have ever experienced. Extremely kinda and their first question was If I was okay.

I 10000% recommend diligent defense.”


Nice to see a company not blame the user first thing.

I've launched my SiCo Hybrid twice now, fortunately both times I was shooting a 30 cal through a can made to take a 458 and it only damaged the end cap.

And as stated above, I use an ASR mount. Apparently you can spin onto the ASR and think you are threading it and not actually have it engaged. Cost me a $75 anchor brake end cap both times. Mine only went about 30 yards.

So much better response than what I have gotten from SiCo on two occasions.

You need to add a no failure option to the poll as the only way to see results is to vote.

Only found one of the baffle sections down range. Not sure where the other parts ended up.

Exactly.

This data isn't particularly useful unless you can determine a representative failure rate for each brand and model.

I think the CS stories are actually worth something - how a company handles failures is important and anecdotal information is actually useful for that purpose.

Got a call from the range today and recovered the other half. Definitely not a baffle strike.
