Thread: Good lightweight suppressors?

That is where the US mil spec way of testing is better and starts everybody on the same foot.

so the only really fair test would be to use same rifle with same loads for all suppressors tested...say 3 rounds with each....to get the first round POP as well.....I believe a taped muzzle reduces that somewhat,but happy to be corrected.
