    Anyone else used/have them? Got a link to a write up? I'd like to keep my 11.5" an SBR if you know what I mean... These look very interesting. Possible option vs a pig.
    Remember, the Founding Fathers reason for the 2nd Amendment... to combat tyranny. Sadly, when people discuss the 2nd Amendment, the opponents erroneously think it was meant to stand alone... it HAS a preamble:

    "...But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security..."

    I understand these add only 3.6 and 2.6 inches to the weapon length and 14 and 12 ounces in weight respectively - very interesting if they come in at the right price point.
    I'm curious as to the application of the one that I bolded. The full size SF can adds 3.75" and is 17 ozs. The full-size suppressor can be used down to a 11.5" barrel with a shortened gas block.

    I don't think it mount over the barrel like the M4FA does.

    Even so, many recommend a 11.5" barrel as the shortest to maintain velocity. If you can use the full-size can with more sound suppression and doesn't add any more length or weight than the "mini" can, why would you choose the "mini" can?

    I hope Ron and Phil take surefire's new offering as flattering.

    I suppose it's more "mini" than the K can and meant for applications where a reflex can wouldn't work.

    Here is a really poor review.
    http://my350z.com/forum/firearms-and...urs-truly.html

    I call BS. From what I understand...this guy thinks these mini cans are "quieter" than what looks like a 12th, maybe 16th model OPS. I HIGHLY doubt that.

    I also don't see anything on that table O' guns set up to run an OPS.

    I agree technique.

    What's funny is that if you read the thread another seemingly knowledgeable fellow comes along and challenges/questions the validity of the OPs review, especially with no db reduction data. The OP then pulls out the horse shit "well you're not an operator, so you are a "range warrior" and don't know what you're talking about".

    ****ing weak.

    ETA: it gets better, then the OP who is some sort of HSLD Government ninja insists there have been so many advances since the A2 flash hider that no one uses them in theater anymore. Nice.

    I'll wait for a more impartial review with some technical data before forming any opinions. However, I thought the picture of the cans lined up was informative - especially seeing these new cans next to the 212.

    One of the posts implied that AAC has some micro-sized cans on the way - perhaps this is the trend in suppressors for 2010...?

    Didn't Colt do this back in the 60s-70s with their original "commando" style SBRs? Didn't they have a flash suppressor that also reduced the sound signature so much the ATF broke out the red pen?
    If you aren't armed when you take a dump in your own home then your opinion on what is a practical daily carry weapon isn't interesting to me.
