    11.5 & Mini SUPPRESSORS?

    Just curious how many are running a mini suppressor on an 11.5, how it compares to a full size can and what your preference is (full size vs. Mini). NFA bug hit me this year, I have 2 SOCOM RC's & 2 Minis inbound, I planned to use the RCs on the 11.5s and Minis on 14.5s but now I'm debating on grabbing a couple of Minis to give myself that option on the 11.5s...

    Short barrels and Mini's are not hearing safe. I think of them as concussion reducers more than sound suppressors.
    I paint spaceship parts.

    After a lot of study and research, I opted for the Surefire SOCOM556-RC with the SF muzzle brake on it.

    This one.

    This.. I think my 14.5's with Minis are still louder then my 11.5s with full size cans. I put my KAC QDC CQB on a 13.7 and that's probably the shortest I plan on running with a Mini now that Ive tried many combos. Even though a 11.5 with mini feels and looks pretty dang sweet, it's still pretty loud.

    I've got a Surefire SOCOM 5.56 mini with a brake, on an 11.5. I still wear ear pro, but the concussion is significantly reduced.

    No 5.56mm cans are hearing safe.

    Ha! I use this line all the time because it's a perfect way to word it....

    Anyone happen to have a pic of 2 11.5s, one with an RC and one with a Mini? I know it's only 1.2" difference but it seems that 1.2" may seem like a significant reduction in length...

    This is what's always prevented me from committing to a 5.56 suppressor. I'm more interested in running .300 BLK or 7.62 suppressed.
