Unknown Suppressors The Midge and The Gnat

[BasicUtahrd95]

Very interested in these. What is the intended use case for the Gnat vs the Midge? Both say they are hearing safe with .22lr. Is there a significant difference in sound suppression between the two?

Which reminds me: Have you guys metered these on .17 HMR and .17 HM2 rifles? Specs say Hearing-safe with .22 LR but that's about it so far.

@ID-Muley @Unknown Suppressors Any idea on these questions?

That’s crazy! If you decide you really want anything US sells, shoot me a pm and I’ll see what I can do to make it easier on ya. Thanks

I'll vouch for US here.

When I went to pay for my transfer, they charged me less than their normal rate and said it was because US had a deal worked out with them.

We are “Recommending” use on up to a 16in 223 bolt gun. It’s not going to be as quiet as a 1.5-1.8in can obviously but better than nothing. Obviously more optimal for a 22/17, etc

Is there any more info on testing done for the either .22 cans on a .223? I haven't been able to find any db ratings, videos of sound or reports of if they approach hearing safe levels on a .223 bolt gun. Db numbers would be very helpful. Thanks!

Anybody got one in hand yet? Ready to buy a 22 can and looking for real world feedback

I told my local shop I’d buy one of each in the hopes they’d become a dealer. Waiting to see if they come through…

I picked up a midge this week, had intended to pick up a 22/45 or mini mamba to go with it
.
Crazy light and small and seemingly much “tougher” construction compared to my other .22LR can.

As expected it is not as quiet (on TX1 22LR) as an inch longer and heavier can that I have, but that was not my expectation.

Have you tried it on a .223 yet? I just ordered a midge and am hoping that it is near hearing safe for a shot or two on a UL .223.

What’s the other longer/heavier can you have? I’m setting up a T1x right now I’m considering grabbing a Midge or Gnat for, my only other .22 can I have is a Sparrow.
