    Personally I'm not a fan. They are 3-4 times the price of a good alloy over barrel, they are no quieter than any other suppressor and IMO (and Hardy's) the DPT and Hardy are quieter. They are not actually that light, titanium is a heavier material than the alloy used by dpt and Hardy and if all things were equal wit the Oceania muzzle cans eg diameter and length/internal volume etc they would actually be much heavier.
    They are strong where it counts and can cope with sustained full auto for which is why they have been tested by over seas defence agencies but that is of no use to us.
    The reason they dont make a larger over barrel unit is mostly because of the cost of printing it.
    While the tech is cool I'm not a fan of the gritty finish and the odd looking raised twist patern on the outside of the can. It just looks wrong.
    The price tag doesnt reflect a 3x better suppressor than others so I for one will continue to use DPTs and Hardies.
    We swear our MKll 243 magnum is quieter than our MK1 223 with 7 baffles. Plus o/b. Whats not to like. New DPT MKll. LOL.
