    This could be enough of a justification to to get one. I'm one of the reg. guys that could justify one can, but not two or three.

    Love the design. I do wonder how they got ATF to sign off on a suppressor that is designed from the get go to have "extra" baffles and such....

    Very interested to see how this stacks up against the upcoming SiCo Hybrid.

    I think they're very different designs and intended for different uses. I think the Optimus will sell much better...while the Hybrid will be bought by the 45-70 crowd.

    No comparison.

    With a .45 baffle stack, the column of gas pushing 5.56 will be a hotdog down a hallway in the Hybrid.

    Truth, even with the .22 endcap, it's going to be loud. I was originally excited for the Hybrid, but I like the Optimus' ability to loose some of it's length when going to Pistol/3-lug mode.

    Anyone heard anything about when these will be available at dealers? I thought I remembered reading by the end of the year, but I'm not sure.

    You register the tube. Everything else from the end cap to the baffles to the adapters are just components.

    A bunch of companies have settled on frusto cones with a cut out at the aperture. Form 1 guys take note.
