Suppressor Reccomendation

KGM

Here is a link to KGM suppressors. They’re very light weight and shorter than most. They’re designed with tight tolerances to make sure that your poi doesn’t shift when you put on or take off your suppressor.

I have a Q Thunder Chicken on mine (6.5 cm with 26" barrel). It is very long but if I have it I'm sitting in a blind or a box and really don't care about the length.

If I do want something shorter I grab my Ruger American Predator in .308 with an 18" barrel or my AR-10 with 18" barrel.

Just be realistic with how you will be using the gun. If you're in a stand does the extra length really matter?

And weight between is pretty minimal.

I ordered the Banish 30 back in January. Hope to have it soon.

Takes about a year to get approved

Or up to a year. With the current administration I'm not sure how much longer they'll be available.

Thoughts on a choice between the two?

The gun will mostly be used in stands and boxes, like the earlier poster said. I didn't buy it to be a walk through the woods gun. Thinking about the length just makes me a bit nervous because I already feel as if the rifle is long.

For just hunting, I would do the K. The Hyperion full length is so ridiculously quiet but the K on a 24 inch Creed will be plenty quiet and weighs nothing and adds very little length. On a 22 inch Creed, the Hyperion full length is quieter than a lot of bolt action .300 blackouts suppressed and subsonic. This is with supersonic ammo in the creedmoor. But yeah, for your purpose, go K or wait for Helios QD Ti. It will be their best all around can and will sound phenomenal on ARs if you have any (Hyperion K is great for ARs too because of very low back pressure).

Glad to read that. I have pretty much decided on the K for setup very similar to OP's.

@OP - what rifle do you have? I ask because I have a Bergara and contemplated cutting the barrel down, but the barrel is fluted so it might get weird.

Yeah, get a device for every gun you have. I like direct thread cans personally because they save weight and cost but if you already have a trash panda, get another cherry bomb. I will say, Hyperion K is lighter and shorter and quieter than a Trash Panda with half the back pressure if you ever run it on ARs. The Q products are optimized for subsonic while CGS is optimized for supers without losing on phenomenal subsonic suppression. But if you don't want another can (I totally get it if you don't), buy the cherry bomb.

No. Hyperion K is 5/8x24. Unless you have a very small shoulder, in which case you need a cgs adapter (because the suppressor was designed to work with a 25° taper but is reverse compatible with the 90° shoulder) but that is usually only for ultra thin profile barrels. Send a pic of the muzzle without the brake on it to me at my username at gmail and I'll tell you if you need a Hyperion adapter. Also, since the Hyperion K and Trash Panda are in a similar size category, grab a normal Hyperion. That way you can enjoy a longer and shorter can. If sound suppression is what you are looking for, a normal Hyperion will ruin you on everything. You can shoot it all day with no ears with full power supersonic ammo and not experience any discomfort.

I know you didn’t ask about this, but a hunting rifle with 30+ inches of barrel sounds miserable, no matter the dB level. I went from 22” to 18” + a can and it felt like I was walking around with a telephone pole.
