You just can’t beat a TBAC

Just to add to this discussion, any weight hung on the end of the bbl is going to affect harmonics and accuracy. Possibly make it better but more likely making it worse. While the can did not hurt accuracy as much as I expected, the rifle did shoot a little better without it. This was on a new Two-To-Tango custom. Since I am still adjusting, tweaking and getting used to that rifle, it is hard for me to have a strong opinion. I have at least four more thing to do to get it match ready. Way too hot right now for outdoor work.
They 100% are.
My Wolfman with subs out of my APC9K is the bees knees!Actually I have... I don't like the Odessa at all...It looks ugly, and is too skinny to be truly effective, IMO. I don't really care for the Sandman-L. Back in the day it was great, but with all of today's amazing options, it's too long and heavy for what you get. And while we're being honest, I have shot the Wolfman and the Wolverine, and I'm indifferent to those, as well. They suppress, but I wasn't blown away by them. I haven't had the chance to shoot a Primal can yet, so I have no idea if I like it, or not?
I have both and honestly they're both good cans. If you can find one in stock I think the TBAC is typically a bit cheaper but the Mask has much more availability.
I will say though I Iike the baffle design of the Mask more. The locating feature on the baffles are a more robust in that you don't have to manually align the clips. With the TBAC you still need to do a bit of tweaking of the clips to get them aligned before final assembly.

I scrub the baffles inside my Dead Air Mask with a Scotch Bright Pad. Takes less than 20 minutes to clean all the carbon off. No need for any solvent thus the pad.
Reading these responses while waiting for my rimfire can to get out of jail is frustrating. I’m still trying to decide on what my next rimfire cans going to be. But pretty sure it will be either the Mask, TBAC, or KGM. Anyone know which sounds better on a pistol?
Tried the mask and TBAC on a SW22 and sound wise they were too close for me to call. What I could appreciate was the lighter weight of the TBAC. Made a surprising difference when hung off a pistol barrel
I know this isn't a fresh post, but just thought I'd add one detail. I have both and really like them both. Can't tell a difference in function or accuracy. HOWEVER, I bought the Mask first to use with both rifle and pistol, but it turns out that the outer diameter is 1.07, which means that it is slightly larger than a standard 1" barrel. Not a big deal cosmetically, but it makes fitting the barrel into a standard kydex holster nearly impossible. And if you loosen the holster to accommodate the can, the pistol will be loose when fully inserted and will rattle.
The TBAC is exactly 1" which fits just fine in a pistol holster and looks really slick on a bull barreled rifle. Just my 2 cents...

Also have both TBAC and dead air
This is the TBAC on a Ruger SSH Special

Well I ordered the takedown 22 now the wait begins I’m excited for it my favorite local shop had it in stock so I got it can’t wait to shoot it!
I have both as well, but my TD22 is FDE, so it doesn’t match. But because it’s such a sweet setup, I plan to order a black TD22 as soon as they come back in stock at SS again, just for a permanent residence on the SSH.
Here's a video of me shooting 8" plates at 100 yards with the SSH/TD22 combo...
You'll enjoy it. I'm still waiting on SS to get more black ones in stock. See the video posted above if you want to hear how quiet it is with CCI SV. It's as loud as the cases hitting the carpeted bench, and dinging off of the other scopes. LOL
as far as FRP, even on a pistol, the mask barely has any. and i also have a sparrow, and can tell a big difference on a pistol. if a mask has a noticeable FRP on a rifle running sv or subs, id love to hear it. because even a sparrow doesnt have a pop when you add some barrel length with a .22. maybe the mask has more noticeable pop with the other more powerful supersonic RF calibers, but at that point who cares.
Just incase anyone is wondering and waiting like I had been... The TBAC .22 TD cans in Black and FDE are back in stock at Silencer Shop... I just ordered a black one to live permanently on my Ruger SSH 3" 22/45. The FDE one functioned, fit, and sounded so good on there, that I decided when the black ones became available again, I was going to get one for a permanent pistol host can. I will probably leave the Mask on my 10/22 and my FDE finish TBAC 22 TD will live on my Ranger 22 since it matches.
