Love my trash panda and now back in the system for a full nelson. I've never once had the trash panda be loose on the cherry bomb. It's the only can I have that I have never had to re-tighten during/after use. #TapersAreKing
Awesome video, probably the best and most in-depth review I have seen on the inter webs,. Been waiting on my Thunder chicken for 6 months now, hoping to get that call soon
I'm glad I went with my SIG 7.62QD because It borrows a lot of these features and manufacturing processes (including the muzzle device). I would consider Q's silencers to have the advantage with a smaller yet just-as-effective muzzle device, lighter weight, and more volume for its size. Great comparison in the review!
Can you please talk them into making a 5.56 flash hider and a blast forwarding device for existing cherry bomb? When zero my cherry bomb equipped SBR at the range I got 4 people commenting how concussive it is. At this rate I might range hop just to make sure I'm not banned anywhere.
GAH... !!! I'm that "guy" who hasn't gotten a suppressor yet, been sick, nearly died, now I've got lawsuits coming, so getting back into shooting soon as I can afford it. Like in a month soon. Definitely wan to pick up a suppressor. I want sound to be my first priority, although I also have been looking at two other cans, the OSS new design which seems to be louder thump, but suppresses the "crack" better, and the Griffin all in one model, as I'll be suppressing everything from .22-9mm... but mostly, it's going to sit on my AR, so mostly 5.56. I'm really drawn to these suppressors. They're damn quiet.... And weight is a factor as well so a Ti out front is going to weigh less than that Griffin. I should probably go for the best sounding can for 5.56 that is also .308 capable and get a dedicated 9mm later. But every time I make up my mind on which first one to get, something new comes along and I'm distracted by a new flashy toy... Now it's this one, and the pedigree of the designers behind it is pretty obvious.
The Q cans are pretty rad... But to further muddy the waters, if you really want to shoot all of those calibers, check out the Liberty Mystic X. I've reviewed the Legacy Mystic in the past. They can go on just about everything from .22lr to 300 Win Mag.
Makes me think of the TFB article of the guy shooting frangible ammo through his can and striking the end cap. He did a great write up on it and offered his screwup to us as a learning tool. I appreciate guys like this. This guy is also a great resource that frequents the silencer section of ARFCOM. I appreciate the review as always but like I have said before, I only come here for the comments and the music. Haha. Article: www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2018/08/04/snafu-damage-control/
Ya, frangible ammo can be nasty. On top of that, a lot of barrel manufacturers don't make their guns with a tight enough twist. This makes it to where they can't stabilize heavy subs. Thanks for the link and thanks for watching Keith!
I love watching that laser equipment weld those baffle stacks! You should try and link up with the guys at Delta P Design and look at their suppressors.
Kit Badger Springfield, Oregon. Might make for a pretty awesome video because their cans are 100% 3D Printed, the highest volume cans on the market and are very secret. They make special cans for weapons like the MP7. I think it would make for a cool video because there’s only 1 video about them, them and Energetic Armament are probably the two most advanced companies making suppressors and they would want you to shoot them on their full auto weapons they are specially designed. They are super short cans but have a huge diameter and volume and no backpressure. I would love to get one but i think they are the most expensive cans on the market due to their state of the art design. I would love to learn more about them and of course see you shoot all of their cans on all of their full auto weapons. Pretty sure almost all of their business is with SOCOM and the Secret Service.
Thanks to your recent range video, I am strongly considering adding a form 4 and a Q silencer to my list of expenses... Thanks. I want one that'll move from host to host, both 1/2" & 5/8", but I'm not too sure about that muzzle device on my "precision" rifles.
Hi Kit, Great video and very informative, thank you. Question, I saw you running a Radian Weapons Model 1 on a previous video. Will the Radian's barrel take a cherry bomb for a Q suppressor?
Hey, thanks for watching John. And yes, you can put a cherry bomb and silencer on a Radian. You just need to use rocksett to mount the cherry bomb since their barrel isn't tapered. It will work though.
Granted I don't know very much about suppressor technology but I do remember watching a documentary about them. And I could be mistaken but I swear they said the suppressors used during Vietnam actually considerably quieter than the ones today. So is there a balance between being quiet and being accurate and if that's the case is that why suppressors today are louder.?
I think our technology is far past that era, but there is a balance. You can most certainly trade sound for accuracy. I think we are better with both of them now though.
I haven't seen any of the 224 stuff if they are working on it. But you can catch a glimpse of some of the prototype Jumbo Shrimps at the very end I believe.
You can destroy any can. I wouldn't choose one of these for a SCAR that you plan to push lots of rounds through in quick succession. Or a 556 either (they're working on a 556 can). Think PRS, mild day at the range, hunting, etc. Probably not 1000 round training days.
Thanks for the video. I was pretty much dead set on getting a trash panda for my 8" SBR, but it looks like that is not a good option unfortunately. Onto the next ~1.75" stubby silencer.
@@jamesfountain3474 What barrel length and cartridge? I picked up a DA nomad and I run it on my 8.5" 5.45 and sometimes my 8.5" 556 and longer and love it.
@@GldenRetriever I have been looking into a nomad L. I have a 12" 308 and 7" 556 I would like to use it on. Already have other suppressors for longer guns.
@@jamesfountain3474 7" 5.56 will be very harsh on the nomad L so you will definitely want a large muzzle brake to absorb a lot of that blast. 12" 308 should handle it decently with a brake as-well. I would definitely, without a doubt not get a titanium can like a trash panda with those short barrels and high pressure cartridges. If you are willing to give up some quietness and low back pressure, I'd lean towards a inconel or stellite can like a sandman S or chimera.
You can shoot it on anything. If you get crazy with it you may have to send your can in under warranty though. Really comes down to the firing schedule.
Why are you running a 1-4 on that tiny pistol? Seems like it defeats the purpose... I'm not knocking you for it, obviously it's your choice, but I had that same nightforce and with a mount similar to yours it made the gun ridiculously unbalanced (I also tried it on a 10.3 MK18).
Ahh, I was thinking about the NXS. Still though, that's even more excessive! Lol, anyway... whatever works best for your application, like you said. Great video! If you ever decide to sell that honey badger pistol hit me up. I'll paypal the money on the same day.
Durability in what sense? Are you going to parachute with it or use it as a hammer? :) All kidding aside, what are you looking at coming up against with it on your bolt gun? I am not sure about Dead Air's warranty, but I know Q's is solid. I would go with whatever one you like best. And if you're planning on doing anything other than shooting off of a bench, I'd take a look at weight. Extra weight on the very end of your barrel gets heavy fast. Sorry I don't have a solid answer for your Tim.
@@KitBadger we mostly bench or shoot prone. We dont compete yet, my boys and I go target shooting for fun and we reload. We aren't skydiving or building a house with it, I'd like something that'll stand up to shooting and will last without breaking apart.
Kit Badger My bad? Which has less back pressure? Are you going to get the jumbo shrimp that’s coming out after shot show? I noticed it’s going to be even shorter than the Trash Panda.
I put out a video on the Lefty not long ago. It is over at www.kitbadger.com Ultimately it is still in the prototype phase. I'm looking to spend more time with it when it gets closer.
I have ths Sig 762TiQD and I love it. Love it. I really want a Trash Panda. Had an ex gf that was obsessed with Racoons, she was wanted me to get one too. But is $900 really gonna be much better than my Sig that was designed by the same guy? Eh. I'll get one if they go on sale. Or if they do a bare titanium finish. That might make it worth my time.
That is a tough call man. Really what you are paying for would be a lighter silencer with a better mounting system. Maybe hold off for one of their Lefty's or their 338 can?
@@KitBadger I've been impressed with the sig qd mount. But that interchangeable muzzle brake and flash hider is just a gimmick. Mainly because they are gonna go full ACR and never make anything we want to buy. The taper works excellent though. On my Mk12 the can is light enough there is less than .5" poi shift.
Sig definitely has some of the better cans and attachments. That said, the thread pitch is pretty course. That coupled with the coating they use can, in few cases, lead to the silencer coming loose.
The only thing that turns me off about Q and their products, is them trashing other manufacturers products. We all know that the Blackhawk SERPA’s are a really bad/unsafe holster design, but you don’t see reputable companies like Blade Tech and Safariland openly mocking or attacking BlackHawk for producing such a bad design. There doesn’t seem to be anybody at Q saying “Hey guys let’s pump the brakes on talking smack about our competitors why not let our products stand on there own?”
I feel you man. Part of it is just Kevin's personality. But here is the thing too, he is trying to push the needle in the industry. Calling out Thunder Beast for example, what he said wasn't wrong. The more people that move to using tapers, specifically tapers in front of threads, the better for everyone. And SERPA's are terrible, haha. I used to use one as a cop. :)
I get the impression that advocating innovation (even with a forced hand) sounds better than stifling it (such as sitting on patents and kicking back). The legal battle between Steyr and Sig regarding serialized chassis could be an example, but I only intend to beg the question by mentioning it.
If you talk to Q, they want as many people to use tapers as possible. It isn't IP they sit on. And slowly more people are bringing it to market too. Sig, obviously from their time there, and HK too. Not to mention a barrel company out of Canada I talked to recently. :)
They trash on other companies and act like they’ve made the best thing ever. It’s pretty pathetic. Oh look how lightweight our shit is. Yeah it’s lighter because it’s weaker.
The certainly are pushing them into the industry. Especially with respect to putting them in front of threads. Check out the new Thunder Beast can they are releasing at shot. :)
@@KitBadger you are right about the barrel tapers (which is a great idea) but look for example at YHM's qd mounts. They have been making that style for at least 5 years, I don't know exactly the number. Others also do it too and it is a great solution. Just strange when Q acts like they own this feature
@@nickl5816 I don't know that they act like they own it, but they constantly point to it. On a personal level I think that is great. They push the industry and everyone benefits from it. On their website are technical drawings for barrel tapers should anyone else care to jump on the wagon. :)
NFA has been reduced to boring ass can's and SBR's *YAWN* Lets get some DD's and MG's....ahh, but theres no money in shilling for that stuff. We get it.
The hurtle for me with that stuff is the SOT, to just have possession of them. But on the up side, you have the full auto stuff on lock-down. I watched some of your 11 second videos. Rock on man! :)

Was that baffle strike caused by the user using it on an AK when they shouldnt have?
No, he just not putting the silencer on correctly. He had all kinds of shims and a step down threaded connector and what not.
Do you know if they plan on doing anything with inconel
I'm not sure, but probably not. It has such a small market with respect to people that "need" them.
Any more news on the Lefty?
I saw the latest prototype of the Lefty, but didn't get a chance to shoot it.
Any barrel restrictions?
So is there an adapter for non Q rifles to make a taper before attaching the cherry bomb? If so what’s it called and where can you get it?
The Golf Life you don’t need one.
You'll just need rocksett probably, since it won't lock onto the tapers of the barrel.

Trash panda
Has anyone done a durability test on these? I'm interested in the trash panda but worry about the erosion on the Ti baffles.

I’m sold (for now) on OSS!
Whatever works man. :)
SCJMO Agreed. The Helix QD line looks pretty solid.
Nice, I don't have any experience with those yet. I'd like to check them out sometime.
Womp womp
OSS for less blowback, Q for better sound and weight.
Sorry, your not suppressed chicken
I love how Q acts like they invented tapers
The certainly are pushing them into the industry. Especially with respect to putting them in front of threads. Check out the new Thunder Beast can they are releasing at shot. :)
@@KitBadger yes, but if you look around many others have done it already with their mounts
Which ones? Barrels and mounts? The only ones I know of are Sig (from Kevin and Ethan's time there).
@@KitBadger you are right about the barrel tapers (which is a great idea) but look for example at YHM's qd mounts. They have been making that style for at least 5 years, I don't know exactly the number. Others also do it too and it is a great solution. Just strange when Q acts like they own this feature
@@nickl5816 I don't know that they act like they own it, but they constantly point to it. On a personal level I think that is great. They push the industry and everyone benefits from it. On their website are technical drawings for barrel tapers should anyone else care to jump on the wagon. :)
1911 pistol 45 ACP Suppresed is even quieter.
And less accurate and versatile. :)
These names.... lol
Ivan you have some gnarly chest hair brother spilling out of your shirt there. Just a heads up. 😉
Noted.
28 haters.
They are always out there. :)
Damn, silencer talk is so fucking dull. Its a gun muffler. We get it.
Are you kidding?! Silencer talk is like the Monster Truck Rally of dialog!
NFA has been reduced to boring ass can's and SBR's *YAWN* Lets get some DD's and MG's....ahh, but theres no money in shilling for that stuff. We get it.
The hurtle for me with that stuff is the SOT, to just have possession of them. But on the up side, you have the full auto stuff on lock-down. I watched some of your 11 second videos. Rock on man! :)
Sold just ordered a thunder chicken.
Awesome, they are amazing cans!
One question....How CLEAN the Suppressor , its saled???🤔
It needs no cleaning
