Do a search, this question ( or a variant ) comes up a lot
I have 2 DPT’s a Gunworks and a Hardys
All are good, but personally I prefer the DPT.
I can only comment on the DPT’s. Have three of them and they seem to be great quality. The guys at DPT are awesome to deal with, always happy to answer questions.
Are they the quietest? No. But have very little issues, good service and low cost.
They are solid as a rock, seen a few hardys blow their guts out now.
DPT are the ducks nuts, modular so you add or replace baffles
north island...DPT SOUTH ISLAND Gunworks..... you wont go wrong with either.
DPT are great units and great people to deal with...how quiet??? the 22-250 is now as quiet as the .223....much better on ears.
DPT:thumbsup:
I run a couple of extra baffles to take the bark and blast out of my short 16” barrel.
DPT are good suppressors, not the best at anything but a good mix of weight, price and noise reduction. You can get lighter units, shorter units, quieter ones and cheaper ones but getting a light, compact and very quiet suppressor is going to cost.
As well as having a good product the people at DPT are great to deal with and I can't remember ever hearing of anyone having issues with them.
DPT are severely overrated. Very dangerous. Cant hear a bloody thing when you fire the MK 11. Neither can the deer. Save youreslf some time and grief. PM Friwi.
I know of two DPT suppressors blowing up. I have three of them at the moment. Just thought it's worth mentioning
Yeah my mate had two go and I know of a couple of others too. But, these were all high volume shooting, short barrel rifles, eg 12"-14" so wear and tear will be far quicker on something like that and at the end of the day they aren't designed to last forever.Quote:

For weight, price and quality I think DPT are a good middle road. I own 4 of them.
man you fellas must be hard on gear.......
Short barrels are brutal on suppressors
I have 5 DPTs and just brought 2 more today :D ...........................and another 308 :D
I believe thats what the SS baffles have been made for....you high volume,short barrel boys might need to run two of them!!!!!!
On 1 of our suppressors for a 223 we run 2 SS baffles but the MK 11 on the 243 is quieter.Quote:

Even two of mine must be due to give at some point. Had in the thousands of rounds and short barrels. Just hope it doesn't happen mid run :D ....be a loud few days
preventative maintainence....regular checks and scheduled replacement....might not be silly idea then.......
great you have given clarification....for a 2 shots a month fella like myself....maybe 40 on 6monthly wallaby day....I cannot ever see me wearing one out.
now this will be interesting....IF DPT built one specifically for you high volume guys....say,made first chamber bit all stainless as well as first baffle.....and it weighed more and cost more...would you fellas get on board and buy them???
Just be careful Googling DPT. Don’t add in search parameters ‘farmgirllacy’, OF, TikTok or Twitter.
At least not on your work computer or when the Mrs is looking.
:XD:
A lot of the guys do have stainless suppressors if they can find them, so yes. With a lot of the rifles being cut right down for ease of use quite often some of the guys are looking to add weight to the front. One of the mates replaced all of his baffles with stainless ones for this reason.Quote:

Being a far more durable material surely they could be made a touch smaller too.
All the suppressors that I've heard of blowing up were lightweight ones on short barrels (15" or less) and/or high volume shooting.
I know a few professionals and they all use stainless or stainless core suppressors.
For us recreational guys, the dpt is a great balance of all factors as pointed out above.
I just got a DPT for a new 17 HMR and seems to do the trick very well for me. I wont be a high user of the 17HMR but it is the same thread as the other cheaper cans for the 22 so as an amateur compared to some of the others here - I like mine, was good price and seems easy to clean
DPT can on SAKO quad using 20gr CCI . Dead 8pt sika stag at 150m in back of swede.Quote:
