I have both the Banish backcountry and Dead Air Nomad Ti. Great cans.

I saw a can at the local gun store yesterday that the threads started 1/2 way inside the can. 1/2 can was in front of barrel- 1/2 can extended back down the barrel towards the shooter.
I have wondered in the past why that hadn’t been done. It was in .25 cal so I didn’t spend much time checking it out.
Anyone know the name? Pros and cons?
Amtac maybe?

Plenty of good hunting ones…unfortunately the choice of which one to pick is often dictated by which one is in stock.
I ended up going with a TBAC Magnus - a couple ounces heavier than I wanted but super short. I think the whole set up is about 11 oz including the brake.
I looked at the Nosler Silencers and just wasn’t impressed with them. They were still too loud and they went pretty far not to disclose the DB impact. Came across to me as a little too much of a rebranded unit and snake oil.

Appreciate it, any take on sealed vs non-sealed and Nosler ammo? Most of them say to shoot lead free, I don't know if that means 100% lead free or if the copper jacket on a Nosler bullet is ok
Guess I haven’t seen the ones that say lead free. I have sealed and one you can take apart. Probably have 500 rounds through the sealed and 1500 or so through the one I take apart don’t seem much of an advantage or disadvantage to either. Both get soaked in CLR to clean them
Per your comment on another post, living in the States IS fun. This is coming from a former Albertan turned American. I hope you get suppressor rights with Pierre, especially since I hate leaving it at home and coming back to Southern Alberta to hunt.
Some parts are fun, yes.

As are ketchup chips and poutine, but not Trudeau. Good and bad with both.
The AB Raptor was on my shortlist but I ended up going with a Scythe-Ti. The Amtac ones look interesting but at over 20 ounces are HEAVY in comparison to the shorter titanium cans.
I soak the baffles in Zep brand CLR, but with non-serviceable cans like my Backcountry I think I'll need to come up with a way to plug the muzzle and fill it with CLR since the Cerakote will get destroyed by CLR, or so they say...

I have one on my 204 Ruger. I was shooting it and switched guns to my 222 mag. It felt like a 30-06 compared to the 204 suppressed. I didn’t realize they were recoil reducing as well.
I got another one for my 300 WBY. It isn’t as good at recoil reduction as a brake, but it takes the sting out of recoil and no more blast from that muzzle brake…

Hope they get it to you quick. I’m at 35 days since approval and it still hasn’t shipped.
I'd endorse the Scythe, but it's the only one of the three you listed that I've shot. I also really like the DBAC Dominus, but would rank the Sycthe slightly higher. I don't think you can honestly go wrong. I'm looking at getting a Rex Silentium for a 300 blackout shorty. For my purposes, the price is right and they're made down the road. Point being, there's a ton of options, all are better than shooting without one

I've heard good things about the Scythe, I like that you can swap out the tip for a single port or a muzzle brake if you prefer. I think it detracts from the suppressor effect in the end, but still a nice option. The Scythe is sold out atm so I'm kinda back and forth between the banish and the scythe.I'd endorse the Scythe, but it's the only one of the three you listed that I've shot.

What tip do you have on the scythe?

I am not worried about timing, post Federal approval.
The sheriff’ office notice and review takes time as well as actually producing the item. Not sure if they are built ahead of time or not.
One number I heard was 30,000 in processing.
I figure I will get it when I sign the post office dohicky.

How the heck you do you pull apart the baffles? Talk about a tight fit. I can't budge them and I don't want to use anything sharp to wedge them apart.
Silencer central has a special tool. Works slick

I've got the single port anchor brake on the end. It's probably still as quiet as my Dominus, which is a standard closed end cap. I can't say recoil is much less, either. I just haven't tried swapping it for anything else at this point Taping the muzzle is probably the only factor that will cause me to swap it at some point.
Marginal increase for my rifles.
