I have not shot a Surge, but I know that my Specwar is VERY quiet, especially with my bolt/single shot pistols & rifles. I have a Liberty Victory Magnum in jail that I am dying to test.

I would agree with this post. All of the new designs are module. Surge, Razor, Gemtech, Obsidian, Ti-Rant, Sandman, Ghost, ect. It's the newest fad. I fell for it too. I have a Surge and Ti-Rant M in jail right now.

I really like Dead Air designs but man the like their cans. Very expensive and not available on silencershop, which makes them even more expensive.

It took me a long time to realize that db reduction is actually one of the last things you should consider in a suppressor.
Length
Weight
Mounting System
Durability
Precision / Accuracy Potential
Tone

All of those items are much more important that raw db.
I would prioritize suppression above all those things. At least for a first can or couple of cans. But that's me. Arfcom has posts all the time about "why is my suppressor so loud".... come to find out the guy bought a short "k" model thinking it would be quiet. :roll:

Short can be quiet...
I have an SRT Universal Typhoon for my 5.56, it is under 138db and is only a little over 5 inches.
The down side to that can is that it is heavy as a brick and gives up accuracy for the universal mount.

Thanks, looks like we're in the same boat.

This...

and the new liberty integral (w titanium core and new end cap design) has a lower tone than the original and metered slightly better.

I have one of these in jail, not the titaniam but the original. I've heard that it is indeed one of the quietest. I can hardly wait for jailbreak.

The Ti was metered on a different day and under different conditions than the original, so the data isn't really conclusive. The tone difference is subtle but I noticed it.

You're gonna love it!

And these are the reason why I don't have just 1 Omega but, 2.

I have a buddy that is NOT impressed with how quiet his new Omega is. They claim 118 db too. Surefire claims 120 with their 300 SPS.

Until you get third party objective about these things it is all personal opinion, which has been known to be fickle. :mrgreen:

I would like to know Di,ensigns and weight on freeze plug cans that will be quieter. Those sound interesting.
