Great video and thanks for the shoutout Tim! 🙏🏼 We aim to be an 8.6 headquarters, carry everything mentioned in the video and then some! Happy to help anyone get their setup dialed 🚀
The most comprehensive test I’ve see with this caliber suppressed. Awesome content as always , really appreciate the unsuppressed clip before each can was used!
Comprehensive???? I love the deep technical data details used in the video, but it’s useless. End of the day it’s about the suppression. Without having the tools to measure sound, you’re just guessing and wasting everyone’s time. I really loved the content, it just ended up like watching a drag race where they don’t show the times or speeds.
The " SHOOTOUT " format where a specific caliber gun with numerous choices... in a countdown... is where my interest lies my friend. KUDO'S for another pinnacle presentation! ( I go back several times and rewatch the most pertinent ) Respectfully, Seth
Great breakdown, and I especially loved the sneak peak into the CAT thread adapters. I’ve been asking for those ever since 8.6 was announced and I bought the 3/4x24 Hekate 😅
Truly the best channel for absolute 2A pleasure. The relaxing voice paired with soothing music and subject matter that I always appreciate..I really value this channel. Sometimes I watch you guys right away, and sometimes I deliberately miss a bunch of videos so I can catch up and binge watch , so my good mood can last a bit longer.
Easily one of the best gun channels on RUclips! I should know, I’m subscribed to almost all of them! Keep doing what you do. After watching your videos, I always get an strange acute case of “Let’s move to Alabama!” Specifically, wherever Alabama Arsenal is located. Then I come too and realize it was just a gun fever dream. It gets real down here in the trenches!! For example; immediately after watching this video I was forced to make an emergency run to one of our local ranges to shoot my suppressed Sig 226 Legion with 165 gr Stealth 9mm on a SilencerCo 9mm can. It was just in the nick of time because, I was starting to shake, speak in tongues, and sweat from my ears. Luckily, I got my fix in time thus preventing any irreversible debilitations. We all dodged a bullet this time…….!😉
I love the real life comparison tests. I hope you guys get a decibel meter, as it would be nice to see the numbers too! But it was obvious who the winner was today!
I was planning on getting one can for 8.6 Blackout and 45-70. However, your presentation makes me think that may not be such a great idea. The Dead Air Primal is on my list but the difference between that and the Hekate was night and day.
Thanks for doing this video. Just finished an 8.6 build, and was disappointed with the sound signature with the Silencerco 46 universal, even tho it works well with 300 BLK. Will have to get a 338 silencer. 👍🏻
I ordered the Diligent DTF for a SLR custom works 8.6 AR-10 rifle I bought because of this video. I couldn't justify the Hekate cost vs the DTF. I hope to get the gun in soon and go put some rounds down range. I have a feeling ill be far happier with this Compared to my Rattler Huxwrks combo. the MCX Huxwrks deal is decent and I've been having fun with it... the 8.6 I think will be far more satisfying
Good review, since Q designed the 8.6 and designed a "steel" silencer for this caliber, a comparison with the two Q 8.6 silencers and the CGS silencer would be informative.
I got my barrel for my fix and Christensen Arms mpp conversion from Piece of Mind, and am running it with a Wolfman, I got a 360 M18x1.5 adapter from JMac to put them together. It’s an awesome combination
Love the vids man! Next time I'm in Alabama we'll have to link up for a range day! (Lmao I live in WA, next time I'm in Alabama is gonna be never most likely) Seriously though keep up the good work man your vids are some of my favorites to throw on in the headphones while I'm at the range!
FYI.... I have a Hybrid 46 on my 16" bolt action. If you put the 30 cal endcap it lowers the sound level more than the 46 endcap. The 30 cal endcap has an opening of .4060 inches. The just happens to be the exact same size of the 8.6 porq chop. The 30 cal endcap on the hybrid sound level is as quiet, if not quieter on the bolt action than the porq chop is on my 12" ar-10.
@@rogerl8488 it was totally a joke my friend. There is no 12.7 blackout. I was making fun of Q coming out with another "latest and greatest" round. Next year there will be another latest and greatest blackout cartridge I'm sure.
I understand that Q and its founder rub people the wrong way … However, a 300+ grain projectile with a .338 diameter waddling along just below the speed of sound with a 1:3 twist is something new and interesting.
Or you could go Xeno for wolfman too. I like Readen muzzle devices too. I got the Xeno because I got the Xeno adapter for wolfman on sale & it was only $63 with shipping. Plus not other companies make Xeno muzzle devices so many more options than just DA's options. I have FC's A2 style flash hiders & single port brakes for my 9mm, 556, 300bo, 7.62x39
Love the video, test and evolution! I'm a first time buyer, bought my first 308 can today, a Smith Enterprise M14 can... I'm already looking for my next suppressor! Maybe a 45 can or 9mm.... or who knows a 8.6 Blackout too!
@@online247365 , That sounds great, I just got the first generation Ospreys 45. can that's anodized a golden FDE color. The new FDE ones are all ceramic coated.
I picked one up this last weekend at an event with Q in Ohio. The Short Chop was lighter than a Trash Panda, even with the larger wrench interface on the back and being made of steel. Absolutely sick. Can’t wait for their steel 5.56 can.
8.6 is the new 300blk ? Bad ass round and dumb quiet with insane versatility with suppressors is super nice. Also that rifle is straight gun porn. Good video as usual!
I suggest you try out silencers from Scandinavia and Finland, they have special experience of them since they have been legal always and "evolved"...!!!😉👌
I'd like to see a head to head between the 300blk and 8.6blk. See which one is truly quieter. Bolt action vs bolt action, with the best suppressors available for each caliber.
Heres a weird idea that crossed my mind, blowing into the suppresor to evacuate some of the ambient air to help minimize that first round pop or blowing into the breach end? Sounds kinda weird but its just something that crossed my mind
It would be cool to do a back to back comparison of: Energetic Armament VOX & Peak 30 AB Raptor 7.62 Enfield SPX30 Small Arms Technology Cool Core Carbon Fiber
hybrid 46... I use it on anything 30cal and up to 46 cal. I dont need ear protection, anything below 27cal becomes kind of worthless on suppressing sound.
Perception is nice in judging sound however, it would have been good to set up db sensors just off the muzzle and just behind the shooters ear. Then you have actual measurements to the sound dampening of the suppressor.
@alabamaarsenal Hey boss after watching tons of 8.6blk videos with and without suppressors. So my question is what is the best for 458 socom and 8.6blk. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Love your content keep up the great work.
Not a complaint, but are 9mm silencers for 8.6 to be used on 16 inch barrels? Just started watching and thought that may be the case but i have never looked at it. Especially when you are shooting a shorty.
Cgs has got to get rid of their DT mount. Users dont like to be boxed in to one mount. They also dont like to make a long and heavy can even longer by adding adapters.
I have 3 suppressors I am waiting on as well as suppressors I currently have. All have 1-3/8 HUB and I am looking for a universal mounting system to switch to. My two choices are Griffin Armaments' Dual-Lok and Reardon Atlas system. In your opinion, which would you go with? Griffin Dual-Lok or Atlas? I am thinking the Dual-Lok as it has the extra safety locking system so the can cannot come loose during high round count and thermal growth. Please help me make up my mind🤔😅
Nitro n20 from yhm its much better on 8.6 than the hybird. Have both suppressors, would loved to seen it in comparison. YHM has rated it down to 8in on subs and 12 on supers, called them multiple times to ensure.
Why didn’t you use bore specific end caps if 8.6 BLK is so bore diameter sensitive? I know you can change end caps on a Hybrid and suspect the other .45 cal “do all” cans will too. Sounds like a 9mm end cap would have been a good fit and could have changed the outcome.

You are so welcome! Appreciate you watching!
@RexSilentium has 8.6 cans, and you can custom order a WIDE range of lengths and various end cap options.
I like both styles of reviews, but I believe this style is more helpful, and the deep dive on a given can is more entertaining.
Great video! Perfect time spent on each can, and the head to head comparison is a valuable tool! Good work!

FYI....
I have a Hybrid 46 on my 16" bolt action.

The just happens to be the exact same size of the 8.6 porq chop.
The 30 cal endcap on the hybrid sound level is as quiet, if not quieter on the bolt action than the porq chop is on my 12" ar-10.
Yup, the Hybrid DTM is really slept on…same weight as some 5.55 silencers and very versatile, very quiet on a lot of sub stuff too
Should have put the 9mm end cap on the Hybrid. It sounds amazing on my 338 Spectre
Oh crap! This competetion was RIGGED! LOL...
@@chrissewell1608 yep
I’ll be using it on my 36 omega m. Hoping it will be a great fit.

8.6 is the 300blk for larger gun platform.
300blk for the AR-15
8.6 for the ar-10
Omega 36m is my favorite for the 8.6 because I can use it on everything else too lol.
That doesn't necessarily make it. great 8.6 can, that just makes it versatile and a great value. Thanks for watching!
Looking for to build an 8.6 bolt action and get a suppressor for it. That CGS Hekate looks damn nice!
Definitely a solid choice! Thanks for watching!

Hope to get to try my hybrid 46m with a 338 end cap see if that makes a difference
I can tell you first hand it absolutely does. And the 30 cal SiCo caps are actually .400 bore or so

My two choices are Griffin Armaments' Dual-Lok and Reardon Atlas system. In your opinion, which would you go with? Griffin Dual-Lok or Atlas?

Nitro n20 from yhm its much better on 8.6 than the hybird. Have both suppressors, would loved to seen it in comparison. YHM has rated it down to 8in on subs and 12 on supers, called them multiple times to ensure.
Yeah the N20 is a great can I actually have one. Should have included it but I imagine it’s right with the Wolfman. Thanks for watching!
True it they are very similar, only reason I didnt get wolfman was the hub interface and weight.
Why didn’t you use bore specific end caps if 8.6 BLK is so bore diameter sensitive? I know you can change end caps on a Hybrid and suspect the other .45 cal “do all” cans will too. Sounds like a 9mm end cap would have been a good fit and could have changed the outcome.
