Re: Griffin Armament Spartan Suppressor?

True- suppressor covers are a good deal. They also can prevent burns during transitions, and will hold up to reasonable use (but will melt under abusive use).
We are sold out of Spartans as of last week.
We have replaced the model with the Spartan II which is a 1.5"x6.2" silencer that weighs 18 ounces. The new silencer is a good sound performer, and we have sent them to Silencer research for independent testing. We'll also be metering the production cans soon when we can get out and spend a day testing them ourselves.
The original spartans were a little larger and louder and we updated the line and closed them out. We designed those three years ago, and our current designs are more sophisticated- offering better performance, shorter length, and more pleasing aesthetics in a shorter slimmer unit for $325. The M4-SD TM is 5" long and performs a little better than the original 7.25" Spartans in a much smaller 15 ounce unit.
