Cans: Dead Air Mask or Q El Camino?

[Winny94]

After a lot of reading and researching, im about ready to pull the trigger on either a Dead Air Mask or Q El Camino. Has anyone compared both of them? Which do you prefer?
I don’t care for weight or length differences between these as it will be used a lot on a 20” heavy barreled bolt gun (although the smaller diameter of the El Camino is a nice feature for the occasional Victory shooting). My biggest priorities are: Tone (I don’t really care about on-paper specs). FRP (or lack thereof). So many reviews have the camera in front of the muzzle, which obviously isn’t accurate to what the shooter may hear. Lastly, ease of cleaning – I really don’t want to risk damaging baffles trying to remove them from a dirty tube.

Sorry, can't help on a comparison....but I will say, I have 2 masks and I downright adore them. Wonderful, wonderful cans. Super quiet.

My El Camino is still in ATF jail, so I can't help. I did a ton of research also and came to the conclusion that I would be happy with either of those two cans.

I have done a lot of rimfire cans reviews with the Silencer Shop.. truthfully, as far as how they sound, there isn't really any significant differences between any of them. This is testing on a 16" CZ455, 22 45 lite pistol and Savage 22 Mag 16". Ease of disassembly and even more importantly, ease of reassembly (can't screw it up) matter most for a rimfire can. Here's a compliation on a lot of them:
