One nice thing about the process now is that Form 3s are so fast, you can shop around without having to worry about waiting weeks for the Form 3 to go through.
The qualities I look for in .30 Cal suppressors by level of importance is:
Light
Short
Good Suppression
Toughness
Toughness being at the end doesn't mean that I don't want a high quality can, just that I don't need full auto ratings and the like.
Given that list, I narrowed my buy in May down to:
Thunder Beast Ultra 7
Silencerco Omega
SAS Reaper
Liberty Sovereign
I actually wound up going with the new and relatively unproven Sovereign (although the company has been making good cans for a while) because I got it on sale ~40% off at Capitol armory. If I hadn't wound up finding that deal, and had paid full price for one it would be the Thunder Beast as they are very light weight, local, and sound great. The Omegas I've heard sounded quite good too, but they are a bit heavier, probably due to the the materials necessary for it's full-auto rating.
What qualities are most important to you in this can?
Also, just FYI according to NFA tracker, individual submissions are going a lot faster than trust submissions right now, just something to keep in mind if you're on the fence about which to use. I have one can under a trust, but went individual this time, and it looks like it might wind up saving me several months.
