Suppressors

Would personally go with the Sandman S, or now the Nomad depending on your type of shooting.
I have an S I use on my AR's, but I also have a Sandman Ti I use on my 300BLK AR and my bolt guns with a Nomad Ti in jail.

It really depends on a few things...
1) What are you going to use it for? Long range, range plinking, hunting, home defense...
2) Is long range accuracy or point of impact change important?
3) How do you want it attached?
4) Rate these factors... Size, weight, sound reduction, user serviceable...
For myself, I like direct thread but once you go with one mount understand that future suppressors will have to use the same mount or it gets costly.
Everyone's needs are different, so asking which is better without specifying your factors is like saying which care is better without sayung what you need. not trying to be a jerk, just trying to get the answers to be meaningful to you, because with the cost and wait times for suppressors, the last thing you want it to find out it does not do what you want it to do.

I recently purchased my first silencer as well, however I’ve been shooting them for some time now. I found the most useful information about real sound suppression (not just peak db) on www.PewScience.com. Jay created the industry standard for silencer testing and presents it very well so the consumer can make a informed decision.
I would suggest you also listen to his podcast, The Jay Situation, episode 40. He talks in detail about his evaluation of the RC2 and the new Hyperion and Hyperion K from CGS as they are distinct performance outliers in today’s silencer market.
Having shot quite a lot through Surefire's line of silencers I can say that their mounts, while extremely durable, leak gas and carbon buildup is a significant issue. Just something to consider. I am of the opinion that direct thread with a 25° taper will serve 99% of people best.
I’d encourage you to deep dive into Jay’s podcast and PewScience.com, be realistic with your silencer use parameters and needs, then purchase based on your findings.
I landed on the CGS Hyperion K to go on my Fix. Which was a change for me as I originally was looking at the Half Nelson from Q or the TBAC Ultra 7 gen2, but the data from Jay was indisputably in favor of the Hyperion K performance.
Good luck!

You are dead on about the carbon build up and gas leak with Surefire mounting system.
