So there's lots of options for ways to suppress a 5.7. My question is, what can does the best at suppressing that round, yet is still compact and lightweight? The yhm turbo k with a titanium direct thread seems like it would be a good fit. I tried to find some db testing with that combo, so I could compare it to rimfire cans, but haven't found anything. Also, are pistol cans worth looking in to? Thanks.

This is an interesting question. I would assume that anything which works best for 5.56 could possibly work really well on the 5.7. Let's see what others say on this.

Never shot a 5.7x28 suppressed, so I don't know... I do know a lot of folks talk about the rimfire cans rated for 5.7x28 having heavy blow-back in the face. If you want to buy a rimfire can you can use on .22LR up to 5.7x28, then the Dead Air Mask HD is probably the strongest and best rimfire can on the market. I love mine. The fact you can clean the baffles and mount and end cap with an ultrasonic cleaner, are a huge time saver. You have to clean the tube by-hand, but it's a quick wipe-out with a RemOil wipe, or paper towel soaked in RemOil, and you're done.
I do know that GSL Technologies is the only company I'm aware of that makes a specific can for 5.7x28 pistols and rifles. I heard it's pretty damn quiet, too. I'd give them a look. I've heard nothing but good things about GSL suppressors, just no first-hand experience to give.
