As Alucard explained it is all about the mic I was just trying to give you and idea. You really need to hear it for your self before you pass judgment.

That is like asking is Ford better than Chevy you will get a million different opinions. Stick with a major brand can and you will be fine.

I'm retired military and not planning to be doing any covert activities, so the main reason for a can, besides the cool factor, is the comfort factor hearing wise. The Phantom could switch between all three anticipated barrels and I'd only need two more of their QD flash hiders for the other two barrels once the can and first one were in hand.

Sure, I'm looking to do it on the cheap, as long as it's effective on all three barrels and meets the goals of hearing comfort. That way I can use the saved funds and get a can for one of my pistols if I really wanted to.

Is there a consensus about the quick detachable system versus a screw on can?
You have to make that choice if you go with a one in all can you will compromise sound suppression. As far as the QD mounts I can't really say at the silencer shoot the guy I shared my table with could not get the damn thing off. It kinda left a bad taste in my mouth for the QD mounts but I don't own one and can't really say.

Maybe Ken (mp5engineer) will get off his arse and chime in any minute. :mrgreen:
