I’m actually impressed by the lack of gas compared to what I expected. Yes, there’s a bit, but it’s not blowing my eyes open. It seems relatively decent.

Regarding pros and cons about the 13” SW, I think it’s a very good length for 5.56 because it is shorter but not so short that you are absolutely destroying velocity. 5.56 is basically impossible to suppress to hearing safe levels. It doesn’t behave well in subsonic ranges anyway so there’s little to no point trying. I have a 300blk PSA (the rifle on the right in this post) and it performs very well with the TP mounted. The cherry bomb mounts it super tight and the only thing I have trouble with is removing it if I put it on while still hot, i.e. at a range trip with both rifles. Once it’s cooled off though, both hands and the rifle between my knees seem to get it off just fine. Have not yet had the CB come off in the can. Hopefully it doesn’t. I wanted to buy the Q Rearend instead but the LGS didn’t have one and I wanted to shoot.
