Then you can say, "My can is way longer than your can," to create suppressor envy.

Title2,

I have a SWR O300, but havent got my Form 4 back on my Trident. What difference will I see when switching to the Trident (Other than less weight and length).

Thanks,

Well you will have to have a adapter if you dont have one already
"trident is 1/2x28tpi or metric, 300 is 5/8x24tpi", about the same with subs, a little more action noise but not much. Less blowback since the bore diameter of the can is larger. You cant shoot supersonics through the trident, i use my 300 can always now since i keep my trident 9 on my m9 or on my 7" 9mm upper.

Thanks Title2,

Will be using subs only so Trident should sound good.

FYI, SWR is now selling Trident in 5/8x24 as well as 1/2x28. I ordered both. SWR makes the 5/8x24 but doesnt advertise them as being available?

Another vote for the AAC 762SD.

I have an 300 Whisper Encore and have tried both the 762 SD and the Degroat can on it. The 762 SD is quiet and seems to have a deeper tone. The Degroat can didn't work well intially -- it was loud and caused keyholing and large POI shift. James Degroat was good enough to exam it and the Encore barrel. We both attributed it to a poor thread job on the barrel. James was good enough to replace the end cap on his can with a new one that better fit the out of spec threads on barrel. It sounds great now. While the ACC sounds very good on the encore, it is heavy and you'll have to install a muzzle break or flash hider. The Degroat can is lighter and the length doesn't bother me at all. I think it is a great option if you want a dedicated can for your Whisper.

The adapter to change it from 1/2 x 28 to 5/8 x 24 is $75 MSRP I think.

Since I already had a Trident, I purchased the adapter only. I use it on my marlin 357 lever action (loaded with 158gr subsonic loads).
