Looking for first 22 suppressor purchase..got it down to these 3...i know the spectre weighs much more..but what else can you tell me about the differences between them.
i will use on a custom 10/22 and a sig mosquito.. |

either Spectre or Element. I bought a spectre and am VERRRY happy i did. you can clean with the harshest of agents to get it sparkling new. The tube on element i THINK should not be used with the 50/50 dip but now i think theyve changed to tube ss or something else that will stand up to it.
either way, youll be happy. Jeremy |

You will get the most utility out of the Spectre. It is also the most rugged of the 3 and it is super quiet. I would personally take the Spectre over any 22LR can on the market today. |

Go with the Spectre.
The Element will be a bit quieter, but by the time you move into .22lr sound levels the difference will be fairly hard to detect. Spend the extra $100 on ammo. Now... how attached are you to the Mosquito? I, and several others, have had a bitch of a time finding subsonic ammo that will run it reliably. |

I have both and shoot the Spectre more. I have two different 5.7 guns so it gets the most use.
I also think the Spectre's knurled end is a fantastic design as there is no way for the endcap to loosen as you unscrew the can. The Element is very good and I am glad I bought it too. |

well sounds like alot of good things with botht eh spectre and element..my biggest concern is the extra weight on the spectre when on a pistol..be it a mosquito or p22..on my rifle im not worried obviously. how much of an issue does the weight play? My 7 year old shoots a P22 with a Spectre. |

anymore? I have not found the weight on the spectre to be an issue. At 8.5 ounces, it is still relatively light. I typically run it on a P22, mosquito, and buckmark. I like the price point much better ($495 vs $595). My ears cannot tell the difference between the spectre and the element. Ultimately, I think you will be happy with either. One more thing: the spectre comes with the pusher tool - making the price gap between the two even larger. |
| I'd go with a lighter unit than the spectre. Its a great can for dipping and quiet on pistols but like a lead pipe on a tactical solutions barrels if you ever get a better pistol than a mosquito or p22. A four inch TC Buckmark barrel is 4oz, less than half the weight of the nearly 9oz spectre. Well built tank of .22s. If you can get a good price on a IN-STOCK element then get it. Otherwise Gemtech has a new takedown unit, Alpine, which is promising like the classic Outback. Cant go wrong with the SilencerCo Sparrow either. A few months ago I was in the same position as you and I went with the Sparrow after a long research and testing. Any of tem will be great nevertheless. Enjoy |

sounds as if most think spectre or element...any thoughts on swr warlock..or just a waste compared to spectre? will be used for 22lr only The Warlock was my first can. I still shoot it and I like it. It's lightweight and very quiet. With that said, I am now waiting on the forms to come back for my Spectre. I'm going to have these for life, and the ability to clean the spectre should make it last a lifetime. So, my advice is.......GET BOTH! And you should be able to get the spectre for ~$400. |
