.22 or .45 suppression gives most satisfaction.

Bon Chance.
I 2nd the port noise. Stronger spring to delay the blow back.

Also, 45? I would vote .22 and 9mm myself.

Someone else will probably disagree with me vehemently. So, I like the styling of the old Spectre better and you will lose the front and rear cap and it will be in the new style.

I wouldn't. It should be ok if you load subs, but you are basically at a .40 now.

Re: Looks like AFT just raided SDTA

I saw something on this yesterday. Apparently, the internet is saying that the ATF considers threaded tubes to be silencers, regardless of their marketing and/or intended sales purpose.

Your can is made from aluminum. It is NOT made with any titanium or stainless.

It's not a paid xfer if sent to another SOT dealer via F3. But regardless, the dealer can't even do that now, due to his renewal problems.

Re: My Suppressor is STUCK (In ATF/SOT hell)! How do I save it?

It wouldn't matter if it were a problem with his SOT. It is a PAID transfer out.

Is there an issue with his FFL?

If he is an individual FFL and his license is expired, it is in his name and it is a PAID transfer out.

If he is a Corp FFL, well ... there might be issues.

I don't see a need to use the dip unless you are cleaning a 22 suppressor.
