Which is the best overall suppressor for the M4 with a 14.5" barrel using M855? Money is not a factor here only quality of function and sound signature.

My PD is lovin our Surefire FA556-212's. We have them on everything from our 16" patrol rifles down to our 11.5" Tac Entry guns.
I like the tone of the Ops cans for sound quality. They are close in terms of overall sound reduction, but their mounting solution makes them a little less appealing than the others.
I have the 2006 M4-2000 which is essentially the current M4-1000, and it sounds far different from the SF can Grant recommends, the 212, I think it is.
Both were quiet, the SF sounded a little better in tone.
I'm now all in on AAC cans, and I'm waiting for the 762-SDN-6 to come in. I'll probably pick up a Mini4 after they are out for a little while.

Define "best".
FWIW, the SF can is supposed to have the least POI shift. I have the M4-2000 mod 8 and really like it.
I think someone like the member "Molon" here, would have to do the real testing to get to the root of that claim, from all camps.
A suppressor could hit POA = POI with a can on, take the can off, and have it hit 3MOA low at 100yds and you would still get A zone hits that might otherwise be written off as poor technique, ammo inconsistency, wind, etc.
Wonder if Molon is in a suppressor state, and if he would ever be interested in such detailed analysis???

I think it's very difficult for a particular member to give such an opinion because most do not oqn all three.
I have an AAC M4-2000 and it works very good. From what I can see there is very little POI shift. I will see about some non-scientific testing in the near future.
I did fire a KAC suppressor when I was in the military, but the conditions were less than ideal and I can't really make a comparison.
