I have several Spectre IIs, but bought a Sparrow to dedicate for a shorter build.
Also have Octanes and Ospreys that can be used. Have a spare YHM mount and will try my LT/ULT and my Saker 5.56 on it at some point. However...with all those options, I'd love a do-over on the Sparrow. I think a short, larger diameter, F1 suppressor would've been a better option. Something like 5"X1.5". It's all (or at least a majority) supersonic ammo...and I'd much rather have a shorter can that I paid <$100 for. |

I'm using a Saker while waiting for the shorter Saker K. Yeah...heavier than a rimfire can...but I like the QD mount. Maybe the SBR PS90 would be a good platform for the Surefire Micro...hmmmm

I am reading that they are not very quite with a 22lr suppressor. I have a saker 762 in jail and ordered the 556 endcap for it. I wonder if that would be much quieter?

Do you have any ideas on what kind of DB rating you are getting from the saker 556?

I've been using my Spectre II on my SBR PS90. Seems to work well at the range. I've also used my Octane 45 and actually prefer it for noise reduction/blowback. Now that I have a 9mm endcap I may give it another shot on the PS90 just to see how much difference that makes.

I have used my SRT Arms Comanche on my PS90 SBR. Seems to suppress OK.
Probably only have a mag or two through that combo as I don't shoot the PS90 very much in general and its a PITA to swap the P90 break for the 1/2x28 adapter. I have had that gun for probably 6 years and am still working through the first case of ammo. |

I use my Spectre II on mine. I have shot it with my AAC mini 4 as well. I haven't done both at the same range trip though. One of these days I'll try to compare between some different cans on it. The Spectre II does a decent job and is small and light so that's what I use most of the time.

Going a bit off topic here, but does anyone have good success reloading 5.7?
I'd love to have one but I'm not buying one something I can only get 1-2 reloads out of and only has $0.50 a round factory ammo. Also not sure what's fact and what's fiction about the lubricant on the cases. |

Also not sure what's fact and what's fiction about the lubricant on the cases. 5.7 is absolutely less than $0.50/round. FNH ammo can be had for like $0.40-$0.45/round and other brands for like $0.35-$0.40/round. |

I'm hoping Top_Secret will weigh back in.
The 5.7x28 is a "tiny" cartridge...maybe it silences well even with a small can. My other question is which adapter/muzzle device? |

It's supersonic, so it silences like 5.56...it's still fairly loud. The smaller rimfire cans do a decent job. A shorter can with a larger diameter would work as well. Mine had the barrel shortened by TROS, and I opted for SiCo o-ring specs: 
That lets me use a Spectre or Sparrow...but can also use the Octane/Osprey or any other rifle DT/QD can. |

As BigWaylon said, it's still supersonic so the difference between a full size can and a micro at the ear doesn't seem that significant to me, especially with the action being so close to your ear on a bullpup. I'll have to bring my sound meter next time I take the PS90 out to get some numbers vs 5.56mm. The adapter/muzzle device is a CMMG adapter with a MB556K. |

I use a Gemtech G5 on mine and I love it. A little heavier than the Spectre or the other heavy duty 22 cans, but quieter IMHO. I wouldnt even consider using a thread-on suppressor with a PS90, either. Id be too worried about it twisting off to do a mag dump.
It also allows a "correct" appearing muzzle attachment to be used, if youre into that sort of thing. Regardless, 5.7x28 is loud, so keep that in mind. 40gr stuff is much quieter to my ears than 27. |

The supersonic crack is LOUD, but to me it has less ejection port noise than my 10.3" AR with the same Surefire Socom.
Here it is with the socom mini...
