    Or just be a real man and buy a musket. It'll kill the temptation to buy suppressor-schmuppresors, or any other girly gimmicks.

    Did Captain Cook use a DPT or a Dan Hardy? Case closed.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    I would suggest all suppressor manufacturers have failures at times. But when you do have an issue its the when and how of "putting right" which is important.
    Either the manufacture steps up and and helps to sort the problem (be it their mistake or not) or doesn't as the case may be.

    Shot a few hundred rounds through my rifle with a Gunworks maximus, the thing operates like a dream.

    I shoot alot of black powder both muzzleloader and breach loader but I still prefer my suppressor on a modern bolt action for hunting
    Captain cook would of used it if he had it by the way

    To say 90% of gun shops sell them is not unusual, most gun shops sell any make you require, what makes the big difference to a salesman, is the service from the supplier, and one company stands out from the rest by a long way.

    Bunch of cry babies, I have 3 cans including one on the 338 Lapua as well as 3 Hardy barrels they all shoot very well. I have had nothing but excellent service from Ian at Hardy Rifle. I find if you have an issue its best to talk to the guys who made it "FIRST" instead of slagging off like a keyboard warrior. But hey that's just my experience. I tend to spend more time actually shooting than typing.

    Well said Dermastor.

    I've had dealings with all of NZ's main suppressor manufacturers & can say that they all bring something good to the industry

    Dan's a very clever, talented guy & sometimes can be a very misunderstood individual but his suppressors & barrels are cutting edge & very well made.
