Liberty Mystic X- Video Review

Post by Fireman1291 »

Well I must tip my hat to the fine folks at Liberty Suppressors! This can does a TON at a price point that screams buy me! I have a ton of cans already but for a guy/gal just starting out, this thing offers a ton of quiet for the buck.

I still recommend buying caliber specific cans for maximum performance, however this one will get anyone started then they can worry about buying caliber specific suppressors. Without further a duo....

Yes nice can.

Warning, I am about to vent.

I am however, a very frustrated customer. I researched cans to death this summer and decided on the Mystic. I even returned an approved form1 stamp to fund this, because making one turned out not to be my cup of tea. (I did make a Form1 .22lr can that works average.)

I was going to cheap out and buy a Huntertown Guardian 9, but glad I spent the money on a Mystic, since it is a lifetime purchase.

I did some serious research so as not run into trouble and saw an image of a prototype of what now I realize is the new Mystic X core. It had the added webs near the blast chamber. I called Liberty sales before buying to ask about these strengthening webs and what generation they are on and was told that the Mystic (July 2014) has only one core and that the webs I spoke of were not something that is part of the core. In hindsight, I now know that it was part of the new Mystic X core. The sales people could have been a little more forth right on that. I was not on a rush on this purchase at all.

So, I wrote a check out to a dealer in AR, which was promptly cashed in July 2014. Still waiting on the Form3 to clear for shipping to my dealer in OR. Communications with the dealer in AR has broken down over the last month as he never responds to my calls, texts, emails, FB posts, etc. I even called Liberty and asked if the dealer was legit. They said yes, but he is going through family problems. So, I have no idea what is going on, so I can someday inspect my down revision suppressor.

If I started over again, I would have waited just a couple more months....very frustrating....to wait so long for a down revision, heavier, bulkier and weaker can.

I hope you enjoy yours and your knee feels better. I get to have a down revision can for a lifetime and will always be reminded of this folly. Bummer.

Yeah, cans are like laptops. As soon as you get one its almost outdated. It's just the name of the game. :wink:

Also, Liberty had just now mailed off the Form2's to the ATF for the X. Just be happy you have your wait started and you can get the refit done. It's not a big deal. I'm sending in my mystic for a refit as well and it will come back just like the X 8)

Refit? Tell me about that.
How much will it cost me? I have already blown about $1000 on this thing with taxes, boosters, etc.

The frustrating thing, is my product was out of date basically when I bought it. At least a laptop is good for a few months.

Looks good! But I already invested in an Octane 45, a Sparrow SS and an HTG CoyoTi with paperwork in the mail for a Silencerco Harvester. The Mystic wouldn't do everything that the Octane 45 will do (namely .40 and .45), is longer and heavier than the Sparrow and won't do full-power .30 caliber like the Harvester. If I were only able to afford one suppressor I might get it, but the idea could be greatly improved by making a .45 Mystic X.

Also, you wouldn't have needed sunglasses if you'd have turned your hat around.

The sunglasses were for eye protection when shooting. Blowback.

The Octane45 is not rated for 556mm supersonic or 300blk supersonic like the MysticX is......

A MysticX 45 would be nice 8)

Just that POS newer Gen3 with the new extractor and ejector. I swapped the ejector and it somewhat fixed it, I'll never carry that gun. Shooting one handed with my right hand I could not have hit the mag release so your guess is a good as mine on how it fell lol.

No...they switched the ejector and extractor in the newer Gen3's after the Gen4 was released. Hang on to your 2009 and older Gen3's. My 2006 G34 is solid and a testament to the quality that Glock USED to produce.

Nice can.

I also consider the review format to be an improvement over previous reviews. Better flow, sticking to relevant information and the shooting portion of the video was casual, conversational and informative.

Thanks man I've been trying to take all the constructive criticism and put it to use.

I also just completed my new intro and a first for me, a new outro sequence.

I had a similar (but different lol ) issue with Liberty shortly after their Essence came out. I was on the fence about buying a KTL or an Essence. I asked Stuart (their salesman) if the KTL and Essence could handle the same calibers, and told him if the Essence could not then I would go with the KTL. Stuart told me that the KTL could handle 2-3 more calibers than the Essence could. So I went with the KTL based on that alone. Well, shortly after purchasing a KTL, but prior to the KTL being shipped from Liberty I found out that he was wrong. I contacted Dave and was told I could either:
1.Cancel my current form 4(1-2 months into the wait)
2.Pay $300 dollars and get on a waiting list for an upgrade from the KTL to the Essence(even though the price difference was $100 between the KTL and Essence)
3.Stick with the KTL and live with it.
Even though their staff made the mistake.
I was disappointed in the way it was handled simply because thier staff made the error, and they were not going to take a financial loss to make it right with a customer. I had always heard that their CS was "top notch," but this wasn't "top notch CS" by my standards. When I asked "them where is all of this "top notch CS" that everyone talks about." I was told "well.....taking a financial loss has nothing to do with CS." I think Silencerco, or AAC would have handle it differently, and honestly I wish I would have just went with AAC or Silencerco.

Sorry about your frustrations too. We have a lifetime purchase here and it is essential that we get the right product. I will have to live with the down revision Mystic even though I missed the Mystic-X by weeks. I just wish the sales guy would have been more forthcoming when I asked about the reinforcement webs on the prototype I researched, but such is life. I think I will enjoy the down revision Mystic for what it is and live around its limitations compared to the Mystic-X.

$375 is definitely steep. I'm sure you will be happy with the original. The X version isn't THAT much different.

Btw, who is your dealer in AR? I live in the central part of the state.

The dealer is C and H arms in Heber Springs. http://www.gotnfa.com/
Talked to Liberty yesterday and they think he might be in next week.
He has been dealing with a personal problem for the last 6 weeks and has been totally offline with no contact.

It is going on 90 days for a form 3 transfer and I don't know if the form 3 was ever filed for transfer to my dealer.

I've heard little about them, but what I have heard has been positive. I believe they even held a suppressor demo shoot with the Liberty fellas a while back. 90 days is a bit long for form3 transfer though, so I understand your frustration.

Agree.

I just got my Mystic out of jail this last Saturday. I've only shot it so far on my AR 15. Only issue I had was getting warm :shock: when I gripped it. I shot it three times, checked for tightness, then shot it 15 more times about ever 2-3 seconds, grabbed the can to check for tightness and did a rapid release, ouch. No burns to my palm but it didn't take long to check for tightness this last time. Didn't finish out that magazine to let it cool a bit. My 30 cal can doesn't get hot as fast on my 5.56 AR but then again it is over twice as heavy and bigger diameter.

I called Liberty about a mix-up in my booster and at the same time asked them about the X. Seems like about having an I-phone 5 and an I-phone 6 for doing calls and texts. Unless you have to have the latest version of everything, the plane Mystic on a side by side comparison would be hard to tell the difference.

When I bought mine, the Mystic was quite a bit less money than the Mystic X is now. I'll dig through my receipts and see how much as it was on sale, I guess in preparation for the release of the X.

As far as having a do-all 45 can, I doubt it would work that well on smaller calibers. The larger the bore diameter, the less efficient at noise reduction. I have a SWR Warlock II .22 can and plan to try both on the same gun. I suspect the Warlock will be quieter since it has a .22 bore vs a 9 mm bore, even though it is much smaller.

I am new here, but I'll share my thoughts on the Mystic X release.

I found myself in the same boat, I purchased a Mystic as my first suppressor in June 2014, I am still waiting for it to get out of jail (should be any day now). I am slightly disheartened about the new model coming out before I even received mine, but it is the luck of the draw.

Looking at the upgrade path, $375 sounds like a lot, but it really isn't that bad. I paid $585 shipped from C&H for the Mystic, the new Mystic X is $738 from Silencershop. That difference of $153 cuts the upgrade down to $222, much less than spending the entire $1038 (Suppressor, paperwork fee, stamp) for a Mystic X. The Mystic will be primarily used on a 9mm SBR (5" barrel from Adco with 1/2x28 threads), so unless the upgrade makes it specifically better for that I can't see myself jumping in right away. I did purchase the 1/2x28 booster, 1/2x28 fixed, and 5/8x24 fixed with intentions of running the Mystic on many things. I am also building a 8" 300 blackout.

I started out thinking I could just order the Mystic as my first can and be good for a while. I really liked the idea of one can does all, but I should have known myself better. That turned into me purchasing five suppressors between June and August, and adding a sixth in December. I have taken possession of an Innovative Arms Apex .22, Liberty Kodiak TL, Saker 762, and I am waiting on the Mystic, TiRant 9mm, and Saker 556. I don't know if there will be any more in the short term, but from the three I have sofar I am loving suppressed shooting. I don't have any others on my radar currently as the assortment I purchased covers what I generally shoot.

I like this advise. One could shoot it for a while and if there is a significant baffle strike or other issue they could use the upgrade program as a repair program.

Well in that case don't shoot 223/556 through it since the pressures will actually help clean out the can :lol:

One thing I've noticed in recent adds is the lack of the mention of .223 in Liberty's adds, with the caveat to allow for cooling. I was thinking it was in previous adds for the Mystic. This is one reason I bought it. I've put about 2-30 round mags through mine without any issues, being careful to let it cool. Seems many here use it for .223/5.56 as well. I'm not that worried but would like to see it in print.

This is a quote from their website. "Although the real treat is the Mystic X performs really well on so many centerfire rifle and handgun calibers. The 7.62 x 39 and the 300 BLK are prime examples of this. Not only in subsonic, but many rifle calibers are also rated for supersonic speeds as well. 38 Special, 357 Magnum, 357 Maximum or 9×25 Dillon?"
