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.
