I'm torn between the 30BA and 30BAS suppressors and would appreciate some input from people more experienced with shooting suppressed than myself. If anyone owns both and could post a size comparison picture I would appreciate that also. 2-3 dB is what Thunder Beast claims you give up going with the short model but I feel like the size advantage while on a compact AR platform would be far more noticeable than the little bit of extra noise. Is this a correct assumption?
 
Thanks for link. Seems to be a pretty noticeable size difference. I wish I could have the opportunity to hear both in person. Wonder if on a 300 Win Mag the difference is more than 2-3 dB between the two also.
 
Thanks for posting the link on my thread about the 30BA vs 30BAS. I am really curious about something else... What is the status on the 30HD suppressor you were working on? I'm wanting to confirm it is a BA can especially because I was looking at 30P-1 but read somewhere you posted that the HD will definitely be a BA can and if I find myself heating up the 30BA or 30BAS too bad I would like to be able to purchase a 30HD and easily go back and forth between the two depending on what I'm doing.
 
Hi,

We weren't 100% happy with it and we're not going to release something until we are.

thanks

I am relieved to hear that there is a company that puts enough pride in their product to conduct business that way. That's why I have made up my mind to go with Thunder Beast products. I just have to decide what to purchase first now.
