If he doesn’t buy it today, he won’t have it for next year.If you buy it today you will NOT get in time for hunting season THIS YEAR. And...Make sure it's legal to hunt with...
Actually, you can have all three.-Quiet
-Inexpensive
-Compact/lightweight
You can only pick two.
Yes he will. Everyone hates the wait, but it's not THAT long.If he doesn’t buy it today, he won’t have it for next year.
The point I was trying to make is, not to let the wait factor into it.Yes he will. Everyone hates the wait, but it's not THAT long.
Your advice already cost me a safe full of cans. Haven't you done enough?If he doesn’t buy it today, he won’t have it for next year.
There’s no instant gratification in the NFA world. A lot of people put it off due to the wait. If they’d have done it the first time they thought about it, they’d have been shooting suppressed for 20 years, instead of waiting for the “wait” to get better.
why wouldn't it be legal to hunt with? Indiana allows them for hunting as does WY(2 states I hunt).If you buy it today you will NOT get in time for hunting season THIS YEAR. And...Make sure it's legal to hunt with...
I hunt deer here in IN and elk out west. I'm not looking for whisper quiet, just a major reduction of dB.To the original OP. A couple questions.
What and where are you hunting?
From the rounds you mentioned, I’m guessing you’re hunting something big, and out there a good way.
I’m in Texas, and I’m basically shooting hogs, coyotes, and lots of chicken killing coons. I use .30 caliber cans that will cover your specified calibers.
My “hunting gun”, is an AR with a thermal scope. I have a Dead Air Sandman L “Long”, that lives on that gun. It’s pretty quiet as far as a rifle goes. I shoot this from my enclosed patio, while the wife is sleeping two walls away. She may or may not hear it, and ask if I got something.
I’m shooting from a tripod, and very rarely carry it on the gun very far. It weighs about 20 ounces, without looking it up. It’s not light hanging on the end of a muzzle.
There are 3 sizes of the Sandman. L, S, and K, plus a titanium version that is much lighter, but more expensive.
I own the above mentioned L, and the K. The K is nowhere near as quiet as the L, but it is much lighter, and will keep you from blowing out your ears. It lives on a 10.3” Colt 6945. The gun in my avatar.
If I’m walking a few miles, or just taking a single shot, I’ll go with the K. If I’m dumping a mag from the side by side at 30 pigs, or shooting from the porch while the wife is asleep, I’ll go with the L.

If I were to buy one suppressor, I’d go with the Sandman S. It’s in between these two, in length, weight, and sound suppression.
Good luck sir!!
