Thread: How long should a hardy suppressor last?

I was definitely aware that the shorter barrel (only 2" shorter than factory!) would shorten the life span a bit but even so I am a bit disappointed with 350 rounds. I have stainless (MAE) on another gun but wanted to avoid a bit of weight with this gun. Even with a "dedicated" hunting gun which this is its pretty easy to shoot 400 rnds over a few years......load dev, sighting in, changing loads, bit of real word practice (goats) etc

Is 2" really going to make that much difference? Even if it was 40% more wear with the shorter barrel thats still less than 500 rnds before its buggerd. Not enough in my opinion for a $600 suppressor
