    Let's not forget that shotgun suppression has mostly been a speciality or custom boutique field and not a mass production field.
    I've thought about shotgun suppression, but never figured it'd "be a thing".

    The hunting / bird dog argument is just nonsense. This suppressor is going to be a nightmare for the manufacturer. Awfully big suppressor to be hanging off of a choke tube.

    ^^^This is my chief concern as well^^^

    I don't think the use of a suppressor for hunting is nonsense. A full day of pass shooting or being swarmed will lead to headaches. Also, a suppressor will help with not scaring birds that are in the area, but not quite working the spread yet.

    There is a lot of negativity here and none of us have even had our hands on one or demoed it. When they said "first shotgun suppressor" I'm pretty sure they were referring to the first mass produced commercially available shotgun suppressor that actually works for the US market......but it just doesn't have the same flair or simplicity of the original statement. And don't bring up RJF, my buddy has a Saiga12 and shotgun "suppressor" from them....you better have ear pro and you better have all afternoon to clear jams.

    I have a 14" Rem870 factory SBS and a Serbu Super Shorty that would be great hosts for this and not to mention now I can tell my wife I have an excuse to finally pickup a Benelli M4 LOL!

    Even if you think you don't need a shotgun suppressor I'd wait till you demoed it. Hell, I remember in 2007 when I bought my first can, a 22 can. I thought it was stupid to buy a centerfire pistol or rifle can as they were still loud.....till I demoed some in person......I have 16 cans now. We aren't used to quality shotgun suppressors in our market so lets just see where this goes.

    I'm with Fireman1291 as far as how they state "first shotgun suppressor" most likely being the first to be available commercially. I know for a fact that Innovative Arms made a couple for guys at the airport that have an issue with geese getting on the runways. They had an obvious need to "escort" them off the runway as to not damage any planes during takeoff or landing. Due to the airport's close proximity to a technical college it was a necessity. That design has never been available as a commercial production item, but it has been in use for a few years now.

    I'll be interested to see the street price. SS has the $1300 Saker for $899, so there's a chance this $1400 can comes in under a grand before stamp.

    Yeap

    And the whole modular adjustable length thing is completely unnecessary.

    The only real mission for this thing is pest control.

    Take this thing on a phesant hunting trip on the high plains while walking for birds for 10 hours. Then get back to me about how easy it was to carry around.

    And as far as pass shooting, nobody is going to be duck hunting with it either, sticking this monstrosity out of a blind hole.

    The weight concern was addressed earlier. I'd like to see it in Ti rather than SS. Any blind hole too small for the suppressor is too small for the gun, let alone the swing necessary for aerial shooting.

    I agree it's not perfect, but like others have said, let's not $#!T all over it before it's been tried. It's the first gen of a whole new product type and it's exciting.

    This thing can't be made from titanium. The baffles have to be made from SS because the wad rides over them and touches them.
