When you compare, for example, the DPT 4 baffle (overbarrel) with the Maniatis alloy, the DPT is better in every metric except 2mm longer muzzle forward which is really more or less identical.


Why would you pay $50 more for a heavier, louder, longer suppressor that is functionally the same length muzzle forward?


Pull 1 baffle out of the DPT and it's probably still quieter, it's cheaper, shorter and lighter.

Which DPT is 75mms forward?

EDIT: I see the new ones are longer now. DPT are 100X less painfull to deal with for what its worth
