    Griffin Armament M4-SD II

    So after quite a bit of searching I can only find this suppressor / company referenced and cannot find any sort of review on it.

    I like the fact that it's QD and mounts directly to the A2, has competitive sound reduction according to the numbers advertised, and has a good price for a first suppressor.

    It seems from what I have read the company is almost a taboo subject to talk about, can somebody let me know if the can is a quality unit and a safe purchase or should I look into a different company and product. Just looking for somebody with experience with either the company or somebody who has used the M4-SD or M4-SD 2 who can provide me with a direct answer.

    I have ordered a M4-SDII. Austin @ Griffin has been very helpful in answering my questions. So far, it's been all positive. Can't wait to test it out...now only if my stamp would arrive....

    When it comes to cans... I can't tell you how important it is to buy one that is in stock at a dealer near you.

    Silencer company people are missing a gene that contains the sense of urgency code. I've truly never heard of a silencer story that contained a person at any of these companies getting off their ass.

    I think before ATF grants approval for production they make sure that the people are all absolute **** offs.

    You'll be happy with any decent name brand silencer. Don't even sweat the Db ratings. They all sound about the same.

    I didn't end up getting the can I wanted, but got a mount system can and am just happy with it.

    I spoke to my brother and he mentioned that you had called and requested a price for a direct purchase.

    We have 3 stocking suppressor dealers nationwide- one of those has 9 locations. The suppressors were never popular with dealers so we've often been in a bad place caught between discouraging MSRP's designed to incentivise dealers to stock a product, and customers like you who are in states with ZERO stocking dealers who are often charged massive transfer fees over the top of those MSRP's in an effort to convince a customer to buy a product that is in stock.

    Your experience here has taught us that this customer direct pricing model in states which have no stocking dealers isn't going to work.

    I'm sorry for your bad experience, but hope you understand no one was intentionally misleading. That $XXX was a price designed to help you purchase our product given you would be paying an unkown and possibly very expensive transfer fee by your local dealer.

    By attempting to purchase from your local dealer and not from us, the price changed completely.

    Unfortunately suppressors have been a very difficult product to bring to market. Getting them across state lines is crippled by the NFA process, and we are located in an island between Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, and Lake Michigan, so we border no NFA legal suppressor states. That has compounded our problems with reaching this market.

    As far as the Nightmare comments, I don't know how to address that, other than to say we are very easy to do business with.

    Austin wakes up in the morning like most working people, and takes calls nights, weekends, and is very reachable. I apologize again for your difficulty in this process.

    SWR makes one for 5.56mm guns that mounts to A2 FH if I remember correctly.

    I'd also look and see if B&T makes one.

    Othrwise stick with the essentials. SureFire, KAC, AAC, and Ops Inc.

    There is only one exception to this generally true rule. I have had only good experiences with Gemtech.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
