It seems like it should be a good patrol rifle suppressor, it uses the same baffle stack as the Recce 5.
I'm very happy with Griffins rifle can lineup, the only addition that I would like to see is a compact .30 cal (about the same length as the Paladin 5)

 

FYI, per SiShops IG live they are holding any Form 1's that are submitted until their system works with the File system, they didn't want to give a date of when it will work however they did say that it is close. They have stopped printing paper form 1's.

 

That’s neato! I wish I had a need for another 556 can, that would be it.

 

I’m going to be buying a dedicated .30 cal can next, and then a rim fire but after those two this will likely be my next purchase, it seems like a very good can for a dedicated 556 rifle from SBR to rifle length barrels.

 

Griffin has treated me well over the years, we have a mutual friend and he originally swayed me to their stuff. There’s a ton of options for 30 cal suppressors, but my Recce 7 and rsta 7.62 have been amazing on everything I’ve put them on.

 

I really like their stuff also, I have an Optimus and checkmate QD from them.
The checkmate was my first can and then I bought the Optimus (I almost bought the Paladin instead) and I was planning on the Paladin or Recce 7 being my next can but I realized I would rather have a short .30 cal can first for my 12.5” 556 that I use for home defense and will hopefully be allowed to use for my patrol rifle.
I asked about a compact .30 cal can on their IG after they dropped the Paladin 5 and they hinted that something is just around the corner, so I’m excited to see what they drop, hopefully around the 5”-5.5” length and compatible with the taper mount (if I had to guess they would make it minimalist only) and below 14 oz.

The RSTA is an interesting design, if I had a 20” barrel SPR and didn’t have to pay tax stamps and wait I would pick one up.

 

Go Omega 300!, it is awesome!

 

I’ve looked at different options and I’m going to stick with Griffin armamant (unless I deviate and get a Dead Air) because of the investment in mounts, it will allow me to run 556 cans and 7.62 cans on any of my rifles depending on weight/length needs vs suppression needs.

 

Griffin did a short live Q&A on their Instagram today, they answered a few questions folks had about the Paladin 5, and they let it slip that they will be releasing several cans over the next 4-6 weeks to include a .30 cal K can.

 

Nice!

 

Hopefully I can make one of these events in 2020.

That's a smoking deal

 

Yep, didn’t even read it before I posted it (just getting back on the road) but damn, it’s actually useful stuff also.

 

I’m curious to see how these do.

 

I’m interested, mainly for the micro comp. would be cool to throw that on when a suppressor isn’t needed.

 

Have you seen anything from Agency Arms?
