    Why Does Everyone Hate Dan Cans?

    Hey Guys

    rightly or wrongly they have a very poor reputation for aftersales service

    the stores that sell will say they are great.
    I couldn't tell any diference in sound from my dpt to a hardy. Like the price and adjustable baffles on the dpt and if it break easy to get parts or have fixed.

    And beside the hate on the Hardy, the DPT's are way cheaper, quality bit of kit, can add or remove baffles as needed, can swap the baffles from say 22cal to 7mm to run the main body of the suppressor on two different rifles, and they work very well. And Darren at DPT offers a bloody good sales and after sales service.

    Have you heard the term 'vested interest' ? Of course people will say whatever it is that they happen to be selling is the best, they have a vested interest, ie you buy it from them, they make money ;-)

    I have many times experienced high quality service from DPT. An exceptional bunch of guys. The European machinist (I forget his name) should write the book on customer service. He's the gold standard!
