Will the suppressor live on the .300 host 100% of the time? Will you ONLY shoot subsonic ammo? Will you be moving the suppressor around to other hosts? Is this your only foray into suppressors?
The silencers that are made for pistol rounds and subsonic 300 blackout can be taken apart and cleaned. The silencers that support the big boy rounds like 300 win mag are fully welded. Pretty much any can will sound good with 300 blackout subsonics, so like it was previously mentioned, you should figure out what your other hosts would be. Do you plan to tuck the silencer under a hand guard, or are you running shorter than a 9" hand guard on the gun? The new dead air nomad is a 30 cal can that is under $1000 that is full auto rated with no barrel restrictions, but it won't fit under a rail.
Also if you aren't aware, the current wait time is 12 to 14 months after you establish a trust and get your ink fingerprints, passport photos, and $200 tax stamp sent in.
There are some exceptions, Griffin Optimus is one of them.
If you are shooting both supersonic and subsonic, there shouldn't be problems. If you have a .308 Winchester rifle, a few surplus 7.65 NATO rounds blow out most of the residue. I always use metal jacketed projectiles and I haven't used ammo with lead, plated lead or coated lead bullets.Jinks: Thanks, I did not realize you couldn't disassemble it. I saw one reviewer said you had to send it in to be cleaned between 500 and 1,000 rounds. Does that sound right to you?

I only have a few hundred rounds through the 762SD. Most of the rounds were .300 BLK subsonic mixed with a few full power .223 and .308 rounds. The subsonic rounds are quiet and the full powered rounds are quite a bit louder.
The sandman-L by dead Air would be nice.
Is the $1k including the stamp? Nomad would be a fine can but remember it costs mid 700s and is direct thread. So you'd be over a grand by the time you chose your qd mount system. Do yourself a favor and don't buy some older model suppressor that weighs 18+ oz when you have the operating funds to buy something a little more innovative and lighter weight. Plus, this purchase by all practical purposes is a lifelong purchase. Once you have it, it's yours forever. Don't be that guy after waiting a year to get it to just wish within the first 6 months you'd bought something newer and lighter.
