I am purchasing either the 30p-1 or the 30ps on Monday. They will see action on my 308, 6.5cm and limited time on my AR. My 308 has a 23in barrel, 6.5cm has the 26...Both rifles will be used for prone and BR matches. Which would you recommend? I haven't shot either and Have never shot a suppressor.
Suppressors Purchasing a Thunderbeast Suppressor Monday....Help me decide.

The only difference is the trade-off of less length and weight, but also less sound reduction, on the 30PS.
Either will be a good choice. If you don't plan on doing any tac-matches with confined areas, I would just get the 30p-1 it's slight quieter.
+1 for the 30p-1!
I just got my 30PS. Im really liking it so far. No discernable impact shift on my 19" Rem Varmint countour barrel. Much handier on an AR too compared to a typical 9" .30 can. Havnt been able to shoot it side by side with a 30P yet to compare.
For a first suppressor I say go for the longer and quieter can. Play with it for awhile and see what you like and dislike and then decide if a smaller/louder but handier can will fill any voids in your needs. I have a lot of suppressors from big to small but I use them for different tasks.
I agree. I have the 30p1 and love it. It works great on my AR and is just awesome on my longer range rifles. It's pretty light too.... Although I finally ordered a 30ps.
I have a 30P-1 and would not trade it for a shorter one. That said I just bought a PSS, but plan to mostly just use it for subsonic blackout.
Just pulled the trigger on my first one this evening, I went with a 30BA since I will be using it on multiple hosts and already have one of the brakes, basically, I figure if 2" of length makes that big of a difference to me on a 26" barrel, I'll have the barrel cut to 24". Also after talking with a bunch of the guys I shoot with, they all suggested getting the full size can for my first one as suggested above, I also plan on using it on my 7WSM so every bit of noise reduction will be a plus on a sub caliber magnum.
Re-read Zak's post until you make up your mind.
I have a 30P-1. It's the quietest of six centerfire suppressors I own, plus accurate and 100% repeatable.

+1 for the 30P-1. I run the 30BA, the brake attach version of the 30P-1, and I've been nothing but happy with it.
Good choice. I just got to fondle my p1 and ps this week since they're sitting at my dealer. The ps is very noticeably smaller. I have yet to shoot them though.
Each one has one of my boys name and last 3 digits of their birth year as a serial number.

30P1. You will love it!
30P-1, the only .30 caliber suppressor I actually own.
