| I personally don't like aluminum baffles. They restrict how you can clean severely. I happen to find the rugged occulus very good, the surefire ryder very good and the dead air mask very good. The mask is probably the best of the bunch but since their customer service melted I wouldn't propose anyone get anything they make. That looks like a weight senstive setup so I might take a look at the titanium options. My surefire is pretty light but I'd guess another oz or two would go on Ti. I don't have any but there are surely some decent ones.

| I shot a Rugged Oculus this last weekend that was super quiet. It was on a Ruger 22/45 and I couldn't tell you what the pistol felt like without it mounted, but it didn't feel front heavy. I asked the rep what ammo it was, and he grinned and pointed at a box of Aguila "Super Extra High Velocity" on the table. It was hearing safe with no earplugs in. Very, very quiet. I was impressed. At the risk of sounding like a fanboy, Otter Creek brought a titanium .22 to market recently that's getting good reviews. The guys at my FFL were raving about it when I stopped in yesterday. I plan to get a .22 can next and it's on my short list. Really, they're all around $400 and the major differences between all the reputable manufacturers seem to be how short and how light you want it to be. On paper, anyways.

| Excellent choice as you can run it both long or short. For P220Smudge that Otter Creek looks interesting and Pew just did a review of it.

| Elmer, hopefully you get to pick that Oculus up pretty quickly. I'll be curious to see your thoughts on how it does with your pistol. quote: Originally posted by hrcjon: For P220Smudge that Otter Creek looks interesting and Pew just did a review of it.
Oh, I'll have to have a look at that.
