Looking at one to pair with a 12.5” upper. Never owned one and never heard one in person. Who has one and how do you like it?

I've got the Mod 4 version, it beat the pants off of my Turbo K, Optimus Micro, and Surge on a 5.56 from shooter's perspective. I greatly prefer my taper Explorr 224 due to the much lighter weight while still sounding about the same. I have not fired them on a 12" barrel, though. Lots of good cans out there these days, good luck.

If I were buying now I'd probably go with the Explorr. That being said, I have a recce 5 and I love it. It gets moved around now and then, but mostly lives on an 11.5. Does a great job on there and while being built like a tank, it balances incredibly good on a gun that short. I'd gladly buy another one. I can't see how you'd be disappointed with it. On something like a 16"+ a lighter can would probably make a noticeable difference. On a 12.5, the weight really isn't a big deal.

I picked up my Reece 5 last November after waiting 8 months.
I screwed it onto a 11.5" upper and there it sits, I have not even fired it yet, I take the other cans out all the time but this one, new can on a new never fired upper and I just never take it out. Nice looking can is about all I can tell ya for now. |

If you're just lacking things to shoot, I'll mail you some empty beer cans. It's a great suppressor. I think you're doing yourself a great injustice by letting it collect dust.

Would you consider the Recce 5k?
I've shot both the recce and the recce 5k and the 5k had about 90% of the sound performance of the 5 but with a much lighter weight and seemingly less backpressure. I can't recall the host but I want to say I shot them on an 11.5 and MAYBE a 12.5. I can't remember what the build was during the demo. Either way, both are fantastic cans and I think you'd be really pleased with either. |

I have a Recce 5 Mod 3. It lives on a 16" DMR'ish clone.
It does a good job. It was a little quieter than the Gemtech Trek it replaced and has less back pressure. The taper mount system is retard proof. No latches, pawls or springs to wear out. No POI shift after removing and then reinstalling the can. |

Yeah, I’m not dead set on it, it’s just one of the options at the local place I get a discount at and the recce seems to be a solid contender. I’ve already got a few others, YHM phantom and Turbo, M4-2000 to name a few. Just looking at options. |

About all I can add is the following:
The Recce 5 was our best selling suppressor model last year. In other words it is popular. Popularity in this case is probably due to the fact that in price to performance it delivers a strong value. It's not like a Dead Air S5 where they have 50 people making videos to boost the popularity, or the Flow 556K where you can't look up a firearms video without seeing an influencer with a flow 556K. The popularity of the Recce 5 was organically derived through end user word of mouth. The can has been in production since 2012- so 12 years, and it has been tuned and improved many times, and the mod 04 (current version) has a laser welded core which is the strongest it has ever been. The reality of Mod 04 is that it probably represents 80-100 different attempts to improve the Recce 5 over that duration in time. The mod 4 is simply the fourth dot on the timeline where the production model received a package of enhancements that delivered what we perceived to be a notable improvement. The Recce 5K is like one of the posters said, capable of delivering a good deal of the sound performance of the Recce 5, while delivering lower backpressure (something currently popular with consumers), and while exceeding the muzzle flash reduction, and being lighter weight, for even lower cost. I know I brought out the Explorr 224 taper mount and Recce 5 with an 11.5 and shot them as the shooter, and standing next to them (10 feet at 90 degrees to muzzle), and I couldn't tell the difference between the two. On the 11.5" barrel- they were capable of near identical sound profiles on the 11.5 outdoors, in a field. The RC2 sounds louder than the Recce 5, while peaking A weighted, in a fairly close manner, the Flow556K sounds and is louder than even the Recce 5K. Both of those cans are pretty popular, and both of them cost somewhere in the vicinity of twice as much money as a Recce 5K when you are comparing the prices of a can with one mount to install it on a firearm. |

I don't know if the 14.5 is correct. The Recce 5 may weigh 15.2 ounces? The people maintaining the pages are in the marketing department and there are sometimes things they miss. They also work 45 hours a week and are so busy they never get it all done. We also are not averse to something like making the wall thickness of the apertures only in the can more thick and adding some odd number of less than an ounce to a model to do something for durability that has no impact to sound and not calling that a "mod 5" because it's not a significant change. It's not always possible for them to follow the minutia of details that go into product micro-development.
The taper mount RI interface (rapid index) was I believe developed toward the end of mod 3 units, and wasn't advertised until the Mod 4 was released for another example of unpublished micro-development. It was forward and backward compatible so it reduced mounting time by 50%, but had no adverse effects to anyone. The Recce 5K spec sounds like actual weight of the currently sold model. The Recce 5K has a heavier front cap, and its core is not just laser welded, but also laser welded into the tube. The Recce 5K is down some tube length and 1 baffle vs the Recce 5. |

I have an Explorr pending since I plan to use it on a 16" AR. When I get around to doing an SBR AR-15, I will most likely get a Recce 5K for it. I don't think you can go wrong with any choice. If you favor a lighter weight, Explorr. If you want a hard use, durable can I would go the Recce 5/5K route.

I won't speak for @Green0 here but the biggest difference that I am aware of when I researched these cans was the Recce 5/5k has a tube over the baffle stack. The Explorr is tubeless which accounts for the reduction in weight. No doubt Green0 will fill in the other blanks and add corrections as needed. |

Tubeless in the Explorr, tube over in Recce like the poster above said, the Explorr is maybe a little lighter on backpressure. The tube over system with the redundant walls and extra weight takes a little more abuse. The Explorr would be a good practical use can (heating and cooling rapidly and strong enough for any realistic duty purpose) for someone who has been around and has enough experience to know what he needs, and the Recce system is more tolerant of guys doing things that are less practically oriented and might involve beating on the can at times just for the hell of it. There are distinctly different user groups. We showed HRT and Dual lok 5 cans to a large swat team fully expecting them to want the HRT cans, and they wanted the lighter weight Dual Lok 5 system, because they all knew that calls didn't involve a lot of shooting, but that weight creates fatigue, so lighter weight was the emphasis of that group. We have two open solicitations right now (a chance to bid for possible selection), one for 1000 cans, and one for 2000 that involve a government and a government agency, and require pin and weld cans. <I'm relating surprise here, because I wouldn't have predicted that. |

I don't think you can go wrong with any Griffin cans.
My first Griffin can was the Dual Lok 5 and I found that i love the Dual Lok mounting system. So I switched all of my HUB cans (all 15 of them) from Plan B to Dual Lok. I then purchased the HRT 556 based on feedback here and after gathering information on the can from Austin who was gracious enough to answer all my questions. The DL5 and HRT 556 are two of my favorite 556 cans, possibly my favorite, and I have invested heavily in their mounting system. The Explorr 224 will be my next can. I recommended it to a buddy of mine and he just got it in and he loves it. Griffin cans don't get the love and attention that they deserve. A lot of folks are missing out. |

I just put first-rounds-downrange on an HRT5 today. Stock 6920 upper - it sounded pretty nice, and I don't recall any noticeable amount of gas in my face. I'm going to hold judgement till I run some taper mount cans, but so far I like the Dual Lock system.
I'm pretty sure I brought a Griffin 11.5" barreled upper with me, and that it's setup for a Recce 5k. I'll add comments after I've had a chance to shoot it. |

I’ve got some other Griffin cans that are internally same/similar to the Recce series, in both legacy and Eco-Flo generations. They sound great, both to shooter and observer. Among the best in their size categories. Same with flash suppression. As others have said, the Explorr would be lighter. You may be eligible for their direct .mil discount, if you're not aware. |

 The Goldilocks Suppressor? Griffin Recce 5K Review The Recce 5K is an excellent can, especially considering the price. It’s lower backpressure than a traditional can, but not as low as a true flow-through. I shot it without earpro on a 14.5 outdoors and didn’t have any discomfort or ringing in the ears afterwards. If you’re in the Plan A ecosystem already then it’s definitely a no brainer. |

The sales guy mentioned one stamp guns, but agencies don’t pay for stamps, so that was probably just a generalization he was connecting that had nothing to do with why.

I'd snatch up a 'taper 5' (playing on dual-lok 5) in a heartbeat. I guess I should keep that in mind. We have sort of been pushing new developments to Dual Lok, but you make a good point that that doesn’t mean they have no place in Taper mount or in HUB options. To have three options is a crowd. I think the taper mount strength is repeatability / accuracy. The HUB is versatility but not much else. Originally Posted By Amish_Bill: Does 15.3oz qualify as light?

Those prices are really great prices. Thats five cans for the price of a pair of Flow 556K’s. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By monkeypunch: The HRT has the Recce stack, but with a super badass mounting system. An export dealer in Florida was being paid (not by us but by the federal law enforcement agency of a foreign country), last week to run a 20,000 rd endurance test on the std HRT, and another can we made for a specific government customer. 40,000 rds, two 20,000rd tests run in tandem. That was for a foreign federal law enforcement agency solicitation. On Wednesday he was 13,750rds deep on both cans on 11.5’s since Saturday of last weekend, and said they were going strong at that point. The results there will be interesting. Its a lot of work and money to run tests like that. |

I just bought an explorr 224. I will probably buy a REECE 5 or 5K but I need to figure out which one first.
I also see an explorr 300 down the road. |

@Green0 I'd probably do a taper-5 over a hub-5 to compliment the dual-lok cans. If you guys go that route I call dibs on serial number 1.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ronnoc: Those are some good prices, where did you get those? gunzonedeals. You have to do the usual add to cart or email for price to get the <MSRP price. For the guys talking about backpressure, even the recce5 is fairly low. For example, I bought the suppressor gas plug for my Aug, cause thats what people said to do. With the recce5, there is not enough gas to cycle the gun on the suppressor setting. |
