Ordered December 3rd and picked up Saturday. My first one so don't have much experience. It's short and very light since it's titanium. I was at the range Sunday. Really shocked at how much recoil reduction there was. Tried it out on a 308 bolt and a 224 Valkyrie AR. I like the tapered cherry bombs. You can hand tighten and it tightens as it hearts up. Threads stay perfectly clean. Once it cools, super east to remove. Now I just wonder why I waited so long to take the plunge.

Well look at you, fancy guy. That's the quietest can I've ever been around. We were marveling over one on a 6.5 Creedmoor at one of Jason's matches.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

I was at the Garland gun range so I had muffs on. With muffs, it sounded like an air rifle. The recoil reduction really surprised me. I was shooting 172 grain Speer Impacts from my 308 and it barely kicked.

Mine has been in jail for over a year now. Hopefully I'll have it before Christmas but not holding my breath. Called yesterday and got the some ol "pending"

I see all the posts on here from people wanting to reduce recoil and every time I just wonder why they don't get a 30 cal can and fix both the recoil and the noise.
