Suppressors that disappointed you and why?

After having an AB Warthog and the UM OGL, my Banish Backcountry will probably stay in my safe. Definitely not worth the price IMO.

Deadair Sandman-L simply because it's unwieldy for the majority of things I do these days. It's an absolute tank of a can if that's what you need though. I've dropped it on concrete and it was completely unphased.

Griffin obsidian 45- while I have grown to think all pistol suppressors are useless, this one especially annoys me. It comes loose at every bit that has threads on it. You really have to stay on top of tightening it before it disassembles itself.

Gemtech Tracker 30 cal. 18" 30-06. Too loud and heaven forbid I want to shoot 5 or 6 rounds in succession, POI shifts about 2moa right & down. Love all my other cans. Trying to figure out what to replace the Gemtech with or if I should just bag it and screw on a 24" tube.

JK Armament Versax.

Really just anything JK Armament it seems like.

Bought their 45 cal version, and to make it 45 cal they had just drilled out their aluminum 9mm version and left the aluminum in the white. They drilled it AFTER their anodizing.

I also bought a few end caps from them, including one in 9mm, and it wasn’t just the wrong end cap they sent, it was a 9mm end cap that was too small for safe use. At the time they sold - I think - four end caps, a 22, a 30 cal, 9mm, and 45. The bore size of the 9mm end cap they sent me was 0.38”, way too small. It wasn’t their 30 cal end cap either, which was a different bore diameter.

When I emailed them about leaving the aluminum raw after just drilling it out, they said something to affect of, “our aluminum is the highest tensile strength, and it will be covered in carbon soon anyways”.

Apparently they’re unaware that aluminums anodizing is incredibly important for suppressor durability and wear, and that just crudely drilling out your 9mm suppressors to 45cal after anodizing looks janky as all get out.

Plus it’s loud as heck.

So, I’d avoid JK Armament personally. You can tell they’re basically just a solvent trap manufacturer.

Banish 30. As others have stated, lots of better and cheaper options.

I found mine was light and loud. Not a good choice for a fixed breech. Now I did find a home for it on an AR. They are not quiet anyway, so it works ok. But definitely one I would not buy again.
