Can't speak for the current model, but if it does not have an isolater I would walk away.

Thanks @Moa Hunter, are you referring to Greystone?

Going back to ODL, I had the same dilemma as @Mathias and asked Bert why not have an overbarrel design to keep our bush pigs shorter. He has moved away from overbarrel because of the results from ongoing R&D. Overbarrel portion of suppressor is less effective at suppression than the forward portion. By focussing on forward barrel he ends up with an overall smaller and more effective suppressor. If he goes to overbarrel it will need to be longer overall length and heavier to achieve the same suppression.

I expressed my concern about the strength of forward barrel design too, it seems weaker (by my logic anyway). He mentioned that every law enforcement and defense type organisation only uses forward barrel designs and they have to meet all sorts of drop and strength tests with the suppressed firearm being dropped onto hard surface from different heights and angles. ODL supply to some of them and they fly through the tests.

I would still prefer a shorter overall rifle but he is right on both counts above and I'm rapt how it works on my short rifle.

Sorry if this is taking your thread in a different direction @mcche171 but hope it is worthwhile for your overall decision making and you get one you are happy with.
