Happy to be here
So I bought a 22 can from Tar Heel State a few weeks ago and think I want to go ahead and get the process started for a .30 cal can as well. It seems the Omega comes recommended from many but the Sandman S has caught my eye as well. Going by the numbers, the omega is smaller/lighter/quieter than the sandman but I like dead air's qd system better than the ASR mounts. The key-mo system is available for the omega but it is not cheap.
Now for my specific usage. Calibers I would like to suppress are 556/223, 6.5 creedmoor, 300 blackout, and 308. I would like to tuck the can under a rail on the 300 blackout but it is my understanding that direct thread is my only option since running a QD brake/flash hider under a rail probably wouldn't work well; I want to be able to shoot it unsuppressed if need be so a flash can would fill the space if the suppressor isn't there. I understand the dead air wouldn't work for this but I could get a nice tight fit to the rail instead of tucking if it comes to that.
Does anyone have experience with both? Does anyone own one or the other and want to do a range day? Trying to fully weigh pro's and con's before dropping the cash.
Also, Scott at Tar Heel told me that the omega's only come from SiCo in FDE or the gunmetal gray. I've seen them in black so are people cerakoting on their own after purchase?
